Every Therapy We Use, and What Each Is For
Fourteen of them, on one treatment plan. The clinical work and the experiential work are built together rather than stacked, which is the only reason a horse and an EMDR session belong on the same page.
- Two individual sessions a week, with a therapist who stays yours
- EMDR and trauma-informed CBT at the center of the treatment plan
- Equine, adventure and strength work in the schedule for everyone
- Psychiatric care and medication managed on site

The full list
Holistic Addiction Treatment, Itemised
Grouped by the question it answers rather than alphabetically, because nobody arrives wondering about therapies beginning with A.
Core
Individual therapy
Twice a week with a primary therapist who stays yours as you step down through the levels.
Group therapy
Men only, which is the reason the room gets honest faster than mixed groups tend to.
Case management
Weekly, and the reason the family gets a written update and aftercare gets arranged before you leave.
Trauma
EMDR
Structured work on the memories that still fire. The spine of how trauma gets treated here rather than an add-on.
Nervous system
Polyvagal-informed therapy
Work aimed at a body that has been on alert for years, and at getting it back down.
HeartMath®
Practical regulation, taught as a skill you keep using after you leave.
Talking
Trauma-informed CBT
Cognitive behavioural work delivered by clinicians who assume something happened, rather than starting from the drinking.
Internal Family Systems
Useful for men who describe themselves as two people, which is most of them by the time they call.
Experiential
Equine-assisted therapy
A real herd on open ground. The horse reacts to what you are actually doing, not what you are saying.
Adventure therapy
Hikes, canyons and lake days across northern Arizona, in the schedule rather than as a reward.
Strength training
The Resilience Lab, run by a coach who spent twenty years in the US Army.
Family
Attachment-based family therapy
Scheduled with your own therapist, and over video when the family is out of state.
Medical
Psychiatric care
Evaluation, prescribing and tapering on site, with the bias toward the fewest medications that keep a man well.
Assessment
Brain mapping
Used to see where a man is starting from rather than to produce a diagnosis on its own.
- What is experiential therapy?
- Therapy where something is happening rather than only being discussed: horses, a trail, a barbell. It suits men who have been in talking therapy before and got good at it, because the feedback arrives before you have decided what to say about it. Equine and adventure are the two biggest here.
- Do I get to choose my therapies?
- Some of it, and not all of it. You are assigned a primary therapist and a treatment plan built around what the assessment finds, so the clinical core is not a menu. The experiential work is in the schedule for everyone. If something is not working, that is a conversation with your therapist rather than a form.
- Is this holistic addiction treatment or clinical treatment?
- Both, and the split is a false one here. Every clinician is master’s level, there is psychiatric care on site and the trauma work is evidence-based. The horses, the trail and the gym are part of the same plan rather than a wellness layer sitting on top of it. How that fits together is NeuroFaith™.
- How much individual therapy do I get?
- Two sessions a week with your primary therapist, plus weekly case management, and the same therapist stays with you as you step down through the levels. That continuity is usually what men notice most against previous treatment.
- Can my family be part of it?
- Yes. Family sessions are scheduled with your own therapist, and run over video when the family is out of state. The families page covers what family contact involves and the one limit on it.

The Three With Their Own Pages
These are the three men ask about most.
Equine therapy
A real herd on open ground, in the week for every level of care.
Equine therapyAdventure therapy
Hikes, canyons and lake days across northern Arizona, run as treatment.
Adventure therapyThe Resilience Lab
Strength and conditioning, run by a coach who spent twenty years in the Army.
The Resilience Lab
What does not change
Constant at Every Level
Embedded in the clinical program at every level of care.
Our clinical modelNeuroFaith™Our clinical model, co-authored by Holdfast co-founder Tim Hayden and published as a book. It pairs neuroscience with Christian faith: brain mapping, polyvagal-informed therapy and EMDR alongside Bible study and spiritual mentorship.
Strength and recoveryThe Resilience LabA fitness room and a recovery room, run by Bobby Figueroa, who spent twenty years in the US Army, much of it in Special Forces. Strength training, plus cold plunge, saunas, red light and vibration. AnchorPoint clients are brought here to use it.
Named by the client as a selling pointEquine therapyReal horses, on open ground, as part of the week rather than a novelty. A real herd on open ground, and for a lot of men the first hour in months where nothing is being asked of them in words.
Outdoors, most daysAdventure therapyHikes, canyons and lake days across northern Arizona. This is an open program, not a locked facility, and the outdoors is in the schedule rather than offered as a reward at the end of it.

I was hesitant on coming to this facility, but I'm very glad I did. It definitely enforces the guidelines for building a structured life while having some freedom to still feel like a person. The camaraderie and brothers you make here helped with my recovery exponentially. The staff and therapists at Holdfast take your issues and needs to heart and assist to the best of their abilities.
Alec ReddingVerified Google reviewHoldfast was instrumental in getting my loved one on the road to recovery. Very thankful for the faith based approach while also applying expertise in the field of addiction and recovery. A wonderful ratio of providers to patients for one on one therapy and support. My loved one left after completing a 90 day program with a plan, community and a sponsor. A new lease on life! Our biggest thanks to Holdfast and prayers for the success of your future clients.
Dana KaupieVerified Google reviewHoldFast is a place where God restored me from the inside out. It’s more than a recovery program, it’s a Christ-centered brotherhood that helped me rebuild my life on solid ground. Through prayer, Scripture, and real accountability, I learned how to cling to God in every season and rediscovered my identity in Christ building a life of sobriety. I leave HoldFast renewed, anchored, and grateful for the grace and strength I found here, taking it one day at a time.
Scott ThibodauxVerified Google reviewCombination of Neuro Faith' Therapist, Christian based teachings. Listening and sharing each clients experiences and thoughts about we were being taught in group meetings. Also encouraged to go to AA meetings, Church and Bible Study. I haven't sobriety for 96 Days straight since i was 15. Daily prayer and meditation combined with the Hold Fast App daily reflection schedule allowed me to stay focused on my goals of God and sobriety. I knew no one in Prescott when I moved here, now I have a brotherhood and Fellowship of Men that 100% i can count on. I am currently on Step 11 and plan on Sponsoring others as well as continuing in volunteering for others needs and bringing others to sobriety. I have a beautiful new life now that. Hold Fast brought me back ty rean honest self. Thank you Staff. I am now closer with my family.
Lui RodriguezVerified Google reviewHoldFast Recovery is "hands down" the best treatment center I have ever been to. Between the staff and brotherhood, there is genuinely something special about this place. If you're trying to find renewed faith and become the best version of yourself, you've come to the right spot. Be prepared to put in the work!
Cryss Cross CurryVerified Google reviewUnlike no other. Holdfast has been a life saving Christian based spirit filled residential treatment center based on the 12 steps. Instead of dreading the classes and meetings I look forward to all of it. The brotherhood of men here is very strong and I’m healing Godspeed.
