Prescott House Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Men (866) 425-4673

2012-05-23T06:28:00.002-07:00

We recognize that family is an essential part of recovery for anyone. Just as disease, addiction and codependence can permeate the family structure, so can recovery.

Who we are has a lot to do with the environment we grew up in, so the path of recovery often leads to the possibility for growth and change within that original family structure. As part of every treatment plan at Prescott House, family of origin issues are addressed on a very regular basis.

Recovery within the family structure will require significant transition for everyone involved. We encourage all family members to seek support and counseling through this process as well. There are very helpful 12-step programs available everywhere for families in this process.

After the first month of treatment each client and his primary therapist will begin to prepare for a family weekend that will include family therapy and, in many cases, a weekend experience together away from the facility. We ask that families be available for sessions on Thursday night as well as Friday and Monday mornings for that weekend.

The schedule is relatively flexible and we understand that in some cases multiple sessions may be required to accommodate the various family components. Any questions about the specifics of the program may be addressed to the client’s primary therapist or our family counselor.

"I came to Prescott House to learn how to put the tools I learned about at Betty Ford Center to work, in a safe and structured environment. My childhood was very traumatic for me and I got to work on those trauma issues here. If I had not gone through extended care I would not be writing this to explain its importance; I'd be dead or in prison." — Steve

Wed, February 29, 5:30pm – 5:30pm

Where: Loveless Cafe, 8400 Highway 100, Nashville, TN 37221 ()

Prescott House invites all Nashville area alumni to be its guests for a fun night of fellowship, food, and music! Join Dayton Turberville and Michael McGill at the Loveless Cafe.

Since 1988 Prescott House has served the recovery community as an extension of primary treatment that offers individuals the time and intensive environment to change and heal. We have found through experience, and nationally recognized research shows, that long term recovery is dependent on long term treatment in a nurturing and intensive therapeutic environment.

The primary component of the program is the group therapy experience. Clients participate in at least 12 structured therapy groups each week as well as working individually with a primary therapist. Another piece of our program is volunteer service work in the local community until a client is therapeutically ready to get a part time job or take classes at one of our three local colleges. Also, clients are given written assignments that will facilitate an experience in process groups, including personal inventories of past behavior. The clients work together as a therapeutic community to confront unhealthy behavior while providing each other with the primary support group they will need in early recovery.

At Prescott House clients are given a safe environment that will facilitate the process of confronting their self-destructive behaviors while nurturing their personal and emotional growth in recovery. Our program is based primarily on process oriented experiential group therapy. Much of the work done here centers around cognitive behavioral restructuring. The intensive and highly structured environment allows staff the opportunity to look at the whole person and treat the causes of self-destructive behavior and not simply the symptoms.

Physical health, personal responsibility, spiritual development, nutrition consultations, interpersonal relationship skills and boundary development are also part of the program. A special emphasis is placed on nutritional health. An assessment will be done to help determine if each client has any potential eating wellness issues. Peripheral programs that are available in appropriate cases include neuropsychological testing and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy done with experienced local professionals.

The town of Prescott Arizona is a mile high scenic mountain getaway that has become a Mecca for recovery in this country. This community has provided a safe haven for our clients and an amazing resource of experience, strength and hope that is invaluable to our program. This town has a way of slowing life down enough to appreciate it fully, and experience ourselves on a different level.

Eating Disorders Effect Men Too...

Prescott House Eating Disorder and Nutrition Program

Eating disorders are not typically associated with men in our society, but we have encountered several men in our program over the years struggling with body image issues, binge eating issues, and excessive exercising issues. In more severe cases, we have encountered men with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other forms of eating disorders as well as men who use steroids. We have found that addressing issues with food and body image, along with balanced nutrition, can be crucial to a healthy recovery.

Individual Sessions: Individual sessions are scheduled weekly with all clients in the Eating Disorder/Disordered Eating Group. These sessions involve individual process of the client’s past week with food, CBT work, individual assignments, and goal setting for the following week. Clients who are not in the Eating Disorder/Disordered Eating Group schedule individual sessions as seen needed by staff or when desired by the client after their initial consultation.

Happy Holidays from the Professional Treatment Team at Prescott House!

Prescott House Group-Men's Rehab

2011-12-08T08:06:00.000-08:00

Thank you Prescott House for helping me on my path to a spiritual life. When I look back on the way I was living before sobriety, I really don't understand why. Why I did the things I did, why I didn't do the things I didn't do? But I am forever grateful for this life. I guess it’s worth mentioning, I have been sober ever since my first meeting of Alcoholics Anonymous at age 20. I am now 26 and will be getting 7 years on July 15 if I keep doing my part and keep letting God do its part.

Prescott House has been helping Men in Recovery Since 1988!

Prescott House Philosophy

2011-10-14T07:27:00.000-07:00

Prescott House is a residential extended care treatment facility for men. Our primary function is to provide intensive treatment for recovery from addictions and other life problems. Prescott House provides the client with professional therapy and education, enhancing the client’s personal growth and involvement in a supportive 12-step community. The therapeutic model is community based, extremely eclectic and based on focused experiential group therapy as well as individual work with a primary therapist.

At Prescott House, we believe in recovery of the spirit, mind and body. Prescott House asks the client to use recovery tools and the supportive community to nurture growth and recovery. Boundary development and improved interpersonal skills are key elements in our program. They allow us to confront old behavior and provide a model for new ways to live.

The Foundation of our philosophy is based on the principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and other 12-step programs.

We are located in the mountains of northern Arizona. Prescott is a small mountain town of 30,000 residents and a great recovery community that hosts nearly 200 12-step meetings a week. Since 1988 we have served the recovery community with an intensive therapeutic program that has helped hundreds of men live life differently. Many of those men still live in Prescott today and are a great example to our current clients, providing guidance and mentor-ship.

Completion of our program has always been based on the willingness of each client to grow to a level of acceptance that allows him to take suggestion and change his behavior with the help of a supportive network of peers and professionals that have his best interest at heart.

RECOVERY CITY: Daily Courier Prescott is among the nation's top locations for battling addictions!

It's sometimes hard for people without experience in the dark world of addiction to muster up sympathy or understanding for those who live the nightmare.

The treatment and recovery community in Prescott has grown exponentially since 1988, when John Valentine had the idea to open Prescott House, the city's first privately operated residential recovery business.

"The city manager said, 'You can't do that in this town,'" Valentine recalled recently. The treatment and recovery community in Prescott has grown exponentially since 1988, when John Valentine had the idea to open Prescott House, the city's first privately operated residential recovery business.

"The city manager said, 'You can't do that in this town,'" Valentine recalled recently.

But he did, going even further three years later to establish, with acclaimed substance abuse professional Pia Mellody, Pia's Place, exclusively for women.

Those operations, and their subsequent counterparts and competitors, have helped thousands regain their lives, providing not only sobriety but also a type of ongoing security that prompts long-sober alumni to come around in times of high stress.

"When 9/11 happened," Prescott House executive director Dayton Turberville said, "this is where guys came, because it's safe. It's home to a lot of people."

Men's Long Term Sober Living Program Arizona

2011-05-24T14:49:00.000-07:00

Prescott House is a unique community that models and educates clients on healthy and supportive interpersonal skills that must be used to foster a new lifestyle in recovery. Clearly the old life style was not working, and changing everything is a frightening and extensive process that we believe takes several months of sober living to begin.

Physical health, personal responsibility, spiritual development, nutrition consultations, interpersonal relationship skills and boundary development are also part of the program. A special emphasis is placed on nutritional health. An assessment will be done to help determine if each client has any potential eating wellness issues. Peripheral programs that are available in appropriate cases include neuropsychological testing and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy done with experienced local professionals.

My P house story. I'm not going to lie, I struggled through The House. I originally landed at the Prescott House due to fear of prison time. I had been arrested again, only this time it wasn't a misdemeanor. In a drunken, drugged up state I robbed the apartment of a person I felt owed me, and along with my drunk friend found myself charged with two felonies. My great enabling parents quickly sent me out to rehab to avoid immediate jail time. Although I did not know until after I graduated, the charges were dropped because the defendant's failure to show in court.

So needless to say I wasn't at the Prescott House because I "was done". It took months for me to see that I did not want the life I had before I got sober. I spent the first few months just trying to skate by on compliance with rules and hoped that I would soon be able to leave and go back to the only thing I knew as life. I think just the amount of time that the long term treatment provided, afforded me a new perspective on life. I ceased craving the dismal existence of oblivion and began to have some kind of hope for my future. I had never given much thought to what I really wanted to do in life.
