At Blueprints for Recovery, addiction treatment is treated as an adventure— one that the staff helps patients get excited about. Blueprints is a long-term drug and alcohol treatment facility in Arizona open to young men between the ages of 18 and 30. Their facility holds 24 beds which, while smaller than some other treatment centers, is kept limited by design to ensure that the staff has the time to personally interact with each patient and get to know them on a deeper level. Many members of the Blueprints team are recovering addicts themselves, and have found that demonstrating the values of sobriety in a supportive group setting goes a long way in encouraging patients to feel excited about their recovery. Some of the services offered by Blueprints include outdoor adventures, humanistic therapy, artistic expression, motivational interviewing, and more.
Blueprints has adopted a “long-term” treatment method. Relapse is a common occurrence for people in recovery, and a major reason why is that recovering addicts lose their support system after rehab. The Blueprints team helps patients transition back to their independent lifestyles and ensures they have a strong, supportive community outside the rehab center that can help them during the difficult moments.
