As a Christian-based facility, our treatment programs involve a whole-person approach to recovery with a focus on mental well-being, trauma treatment, physical fitness, and spiritual strength.
Faith and Science United
Our approach, NeuroFaith, integrates cutting-edge neuroscience such as brain mapping and polyvagal-informed therapy with spiritual practices like Bible studies, and church involvement.
Dual Diagnosis Support
We treat addiction along with co-occurring mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar disorder to address what drives addiction and facilitate sustainable recovery.

Holdfast is more than addiction treatment — it’s a comprehensive men’s health program. Clients benefit from recovery while also receiving access to genetic testing, supplementation, and clinical men’s health services, creating a pathway to full-body renewal

CBT and EMDR help clients address addiction and trauma, while group therapy fosters connection and community. We also incorporate equine therapy for emotional healing and stress relief.
Power of Lived Experience
Clients benefit from direct access to the founder, Brendan, for insight and inspiration throughout their recovery process, creating a community-like environment driven by experience and compassion.
Specialized Tracks
Specialized treatment tracks tailored to meet the unique needs of veterans, first responders, men, and women. These provide targeted therapies that address the specific challenges faced by each group.

Brendan McDonough CEO
Brendan was on the verge of becoming a hopeless, inveterate heroin addict when he, for the sake of his young daughter, decided to turn his life around. He enlisted in the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a crew of elite hotshot firefighters based in Prescott, Arizona. Their superintendent, Eric Marsh, was in a desperate crunch after four hotshots left the crew, and seeing a glimmer of promise in the skinny would-be recruit, he took a chance on the unlikely McDonough, and the chance paid off. Despite the crew’s skepticism, and thanks in large part to Marsh’s firm but loving encouragement, McDonough unlocked a latent drive and dedication, going on to successfully battles a number of blazes and he eventually wins the confidence of the men he came to call his brothers.
Then, on June 30, 2013, while McDonough–“Donut” as he’d been dubbed by his crew–served as lookout, they confronted a freak, 3,000-degree inferno in nearby Yarnell, Arizona. The relentless firestorm ultimately trapped his hotshot brothers, tragically killing all 19 of them within minutes. Nationwide, it was the greatest loss of firefighter lives since the 9/11 attacks.
After the unfathomable loss of that day, McDonough suffered from seemingly insurmountable bouts of depression, Post-Traumatic Stress, and issues with alcohol. But the light of hope that inspired him to keep living in one of his darkest moments—his family who needed him—inspired the firefighter to fight on against depression, addiction and to inspire others to find their best selves, even if that means often looking beyond the self. Building a sense of brotherhood within communities gives McDonough great joy – because it helps this fighter honor the legacy of his 19 lost, but not forgotten, brothers.
