Evidence-based treatment plus clinician-led experiential outdoor therapy delivers structured, risk-managed practice and real feedback, helping you turn skills into everyday habits that carry you through cravings, stress, and setbacks.
We are a men’s program built for real life. Care is clinician led, structured, and hands on. Experiential therapy is core to how we treat. Every session is scheduled, supervised, and tied to a treatment goal, then integrated back into counseling so skills are practiced and reinforced. Each activity challenges clients to push past fear, overcome negative self talk, and practice follow through so skills carry into daily life and long term recovery. By blending evidence based therapies with hands on experiences, Sacred Journey Recovery helps men break free from substance use and build lives grounded in purpose, brotherhood, and lasting change.

Most clients engage in an outpatient track designed to fit work, school, and family life while keeping strong accountability. Care blends experiential and outdoor work with counseling so skills stick in daily life. When a higher level of support is clinically indicated, the team coordinates a seamless step-up or step-down to keep momentum and continuity of care.

LEARN MORE >At Sacred Journey Recovery, treatment is action. We help men address alcohol use disorder and substance use involving opioids like fentanyl, stimulants such as meth and cocaine, and prescription medications including benzodiazepines. You will not just talk about change. You will put it into practice, step by step, with counseling, experiential and outdoor work that turns skills into daily habits.
Care begins with a structured assessment that maps symptoms, use patterns, and daily routines. The team sets measurable targets for cravings, mood stability, sleep, and follow-through. Treatment pairs counseling with supervised experiential and outdoor sessions so skills are practiced between visits and reinforced in real life.
Progress is reviewed weekly with clear check-ins. Plans adjust based on what is working, with added supports for withdrawal risk, medication needs, or safety planning when indicated. Family education and communication tools are included to rebuild trust and align expectations.
Change starts where comfort ends. We pair trauma-informed care with a tight brotherhood and real-world challenges. You learn tools in counseling, apply them in supervised experiential and outdoor sessions, and lean on peers and staff who expect your best.
At Sacred Journey Recovery, your work happens not just in a clinical environment. This isn’t talk alone. Change sticks when the mind learns a tool and the body proves it under real conditions. Experiential and outdoor work creates those conditions on purpose with clear goals, controlled challenge, and immediate application so skills move from ideas to instincts. A typical rhythm is simple: learn a tool, step into a challenge that asks you to use it, then do a quick review to lock in what worked. Reps build confidence. Peer support builds accountability. Over time, choices under pressure start to feel natural, not forced.
Calm, control, and clear decisions. Train your responses in real situations and carry those wins into home, work, and relationships.
Guided Challenges with purpose. Move past the self talk that keeps you stuck and build real confidence for anything life throws at you.
