Research shows that young men (18–35) achieve the strongest recovery outcomes when they remain engaged in treatment 6–12+ months, with one year being a powerful predictor of long-term sobriety, emotional stability, and daily functioning.

That’s why in 2026, Jaywalker is strengthening continuity of care:
• Clients can work with the same therapist for up to one year across levels of care
• Family therapists remain consistent throughout treatment
• Each client has a primary and secondary therapist, improving connection and transitions
• Residential programming is enhanced with added psychological oversight for stronger assessment and clinician matching

The greatest predictor of change isn’t just time in treatment — it’s the quality of the therapeutic relationship. Longer, relationship-based care leads to deeper engagement, better emotional regulation, and stronger outcomes.

Our guiding question remains simple: What’s best for our guys’ recovery?
Continuity, compassion, and commitment continue to lead the way!

Tune in with our co-CEO, Stefan Bate, and interventionist Henry Maxwell with Maxwell Recovery Services . Learn why relapse isn’t failure and why most people need more than one treatment stay. We break down what actually keeps people stuck, what families often miss, and the key elements that lead to real, lasting recovery—plus how to look at treatment beyond just insurance coverage.

On Wednesday, our team took the Solutions guys up to Ashcroft for an unforgettable snowshoeing adventure followed by an incredible meal at the Pine Creek Cookhouse!

Fresh mountain air, great company, and some seriously good food made for a perfect day up the valley. We’re so lucky to have experiences like this right in our backyard and even luckier to share them together. Moments like these are what recovery and community are all about!

The Jaywalker Professionals Experience — Winter Edition was NOTHING short of legendary.
We brought together 10 amazing professionals from across the country for a 4-day, fully immersive experience inside our culture, our community, and the work that fuels everything we do. This wasn’t a conference. This wasn’t a tour. This was real connection, real conversations, and real time together in the mountains.

From the adrenaline of X Games Aspen to soaking it all in at Iron Mountain Hot Springs, to charging fresh lines at Snowmass, the week was stacked. And just to make sure it was unforgettable, Mother Nature showed up in a big way—dumping 8–10 inches of fresh powder right on cue.

Big energy. Deep connection. Unmatched scenery.
This is what happens when purpose meets community meets winter in the Roaring Fork Valley.

Grateful for every moment, every laugh, and every relationship built. Already counting down to the next one.

On Monday, our Solutions clients headed out for an equine therapy session and it was an incredible experience. Spending time with the horses gave everyone a chance to slow down, be present, and build awareness, trust, and connection in a whole new way. We're very grateful for days like this and for clients willing to step outside their comfort zones!

Another incredible day for the Jaywalker crew skiing Snowmass on a picture-perfect bluebird day. ❄️☀️🙌🏼

Most of our men can’t imagine actually enjoying their time in treatment. It’s often viewed as a consequence—something to get through—rather than a forward-facing promise of what life in recovery can become.

At Jaywalker, we believe recovery must come with a value proposition. It has to align with our men’s goals, passions, and ambitions.
That’s the Jaywalker difference—experiencing what life in recovery can look like and what it can truly feel like.

This is about rediscovering authentic joy, building real connection, and creating a life worth staying sober for. And this isn’t some quarterly activity on a calendar—this is every single day at Jaywalker.

Today’s Solutions Excursion took us deep into the Colorado National Monument—and it did not disappoint.

We fueled up with breakfast in Glenwood before heading to Junction, then got after it on a rappel and climbing route known as The Lemon Squeezer. The crew moved through chimneys and pocketed faces, finishing with a true squeeze through the final roof to top out the feature. From there, we completed three rappels back to the trail.

Along the way, the guys helped pioneer two brand-new rappel routes in different sections of the canyon—routes we scouted on the hike up and officially named “Cold Plunge,” dropping straight into a chimney we’re calling “The Refrigerator.” ❄️

An epic day of exploration, challenge, teamwork, and encouragement. The guys showed up for each other every step of the way—and absolutely loved it. This is what growth looks like in the wild. 💪🌄
