Guiding Road Recovery Center empowers men to achieve long-term sobriety with treatment focused on relapse prevention, men’s issues, and inclusive family sessions. Their program is small and personal: the owner, clinical director, and staff are hands-on and deeply invested in each man’s journey. Treatment includes on-site boarding, allowing clients to remain immersed in treatment while beginning to rebuild their lives and show up more fully as fathers, partners, brothers, and friends.

Address Addiction from All Angles

Guiding Road combines science and spirituality to address the whole person, including the underlying factors that contribute to addiction, such as mental health challenges and relationship patterns. Drawing from a wide range of methods, clients engage in evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and body-based practices like tension and trauma releasing exercises (TRE). Additionally, each client is matched with a mentor who provides guidance and accountability throughout the recovery process.

Recharge in a Distraction-Free Space

Located in the foothills of Squaw Peak Preserve, Guiding Road provides a peaceful setting designed to feel like a home, not a hospital. Clients stay in shared rooms with Tempur-Pedic beds and enjoy quiet study areas, a movie room, a gourmet kitchen, an infrared sauna, and a fully equipped gym. Outdoors, the pool and fire pit create moments for rest and connection, surrounded by the natural beauty of the mountains.

Plan to Maintain Sobriety After Treatment

Guiding Road offers aftercare services to help clients maintain sobriety and navigate challenges for a year after treatment. When leaving the facility, Guiding Road provides a comprehensive plan to support the transition back into everyday life, which may include relapse prevention strategies, mentorship, ongoing therapy, case management, support groups, referrals to community resources, and access to the alumni network.

Find Strength in Brotherhood
Find Strength in Brotherhood
At Guiding Road, treatment unfolds alongside other men working toward the same goal. The men-only setting creates fewer distractions and more space to speak openly about anger, shame, fatherhood, masculinity, and the ways addiction impacts men’s relationships, careers, and mental health. Through shared experiences and accountability, clients grow together toward a more meaningful life.
Train Body & Mind with Holistic Activities
Train Body & Mind with Holistic Activities
Guiding Road offers diverse activities and therapies to support the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of recovery. Structured fitness groups led by a former NFL player provide motivation and discipline, while practices like yoga, sound baths, acupuncture, and art therapy help clients regulate stress, sharpen focus, and recover with peace and intention.
Integrate Care for Co-Occurring Mental Health
Integrate Care for Co-Occurring Mental Health
Many men come to Guiding Road struggling with both addiction and mental health challenges like depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, or personality disorders. Guiding Road’s clinicians are experienced in treating co-occurring disorders at the same time. By addressing both, clients can break the cycle where one disorder fuels the other and build steadier ground for recovery.
Involve Family in the Journey
Involve Family in the Journey
Guiding Road understands that addiction impacts the whole family, and recovery is a shared journey. They help men and their loved ones move toward healthier patterns, not just “get through” treatment. Families receive education on addiction, communication, and boundaries, along with support to navigate difficult conversations, repair trust, and rebuild relationships over time.
