Our Founder

Mark North's Recovery Story

Guiding Road was built by a man who needed it first. Mark North spent years in the same place many of our clients are standing right now — out of options, out of excuses, and certain that nothing was going to work.

What changed was not a program. It was a room full of men who told him the truth and stayed. Mark got sober, stayed sober, and spent the years since building the place he wishes had existed for him: clinical care that is holistic and evidence-based, run by people who have walked the path themselves.

Holistic Therapies for Men

Healing isn't just clinical. Our holistic program brings together yoga, mindfulness, fitness, art-based work, and time outdoors to support the parts of recovery that talk therapy alone can't reach. Men leave more grounded in their bodies, calmer in their minds, and better equipped to handle life after treatment.

Evidence Based Treatment

Real recovery rests on proven care. Our clinical team uses CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and trauma-focused therapy to treat addiction alongside co-occurring conditions like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Every plan is built around your story, your goals, and what's actually going to work for you.

Testimonials

What Men Say About Guiding Road

Recovery is hard work, and the men who do it here are the best ones to tell you what it’s like. These are their words.

My family had given up on me. I'd given up on me. The team here didn't. They held me to a standard I couldn't hold myself to, and they did it with respect. I'm two years out and still sober. This place works.

Guiding Road is the first place that treated me like a man, not a patient. The clinical work was real. The community was real. I learned how to be honest, probably for the first time in my life. That's what saved me.

I came in not sure I'd make it through 30 days. The staff met me where I was — no judgment, no fluff. By the time I left, I had tools I actually use, brothers I still talk to, and a way of living I didn't think was possible for me.

FAQs

Answers to your most common questions

How long will I be in treatment?

We ask for a minimum 30-day commitment, and most men stay 60 to 90 days. The right length depends on your history, your progress, and what your clinical team recommends, not on a fixed program calendar. We reassess as you go and adjust care rather than moving you out on a schedule.

We treat the full range of substance use disorders in men: alcohol, opioids including heroin and fentanyl, methamphetamine, cocaine, benzodiazepines, prescription medications, and newer over-the-counter compounds like 7-OH.

We also treat co-occurring mental health conditions alongside the substance use, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD. Treating one without the other rarely holds.

It starts with one call. The first conversation is free, brief, and confidential. An admissions specialist will ask what prompted the call, some basic history, and your insurance information, then verify your benefits at no cost and walk you through what your coverage actually covers before you commit to anything.

If withdrawal needs to be managed first, we coordinate medically supervised detox with trusted partners and begin our work once you are medically stable. When you arrive, bring a photo ID and your insurance card, along with a 72-hour supply of any prescribed medication in its original labeled container.

Call (480) 588-2328 or send the admissions form and we will take it from there.

Cameras, smart watches, and fitness trackers are not permitted on campus at any point. Phones and laptops are handled through your primary counselor rather than assumed, and access is limited early on by design. The first stretch of treatment works because the noise from outside is turned down, and most men tell us the break was harder to agree to than it was to live with.

If you have work or family obligations that depend on device access, raise it on your admissions call so it can be planned for rather than negotiated after you arrive.

Because men hold back in mixed groups, and the work here depends on them not holding back. Fatherhood, work pressure, shame, anger, and failure, the things men are trained to keep quiet about, surface faster in a room of other men doing the same thing.

The environment is built around that. A small census, family-style dinners, daily group work, and staff who know every man here by name. What men leave with is not only clinical progress but a set of relationships with other men in recovery, and that is usually what holds after they go home.
