Innovative Therapeutic Adventure Program model, which uses a strength-based, positive development approach to provide intervention, prevention and maintenance services to adults (18+) struggling with substance use.

Working with residential treatment centers, outpatient treatment centers and community members in recovery.

Utilizing our Experiential Adventure-Based Resiliency model, we prescriptively design programs that meet the presenting needs of each client group. We provide dynamic therapeutic learning experiences that incorporate elements of adventure, challenge and interpersonal processing/reflection coupled with a life skills curriculum and experiences which include cooperative games, problem-solving initiatives, high-ropes challenge courses, rock climbing, snowshoeing, hiking, backpacking and rafting. The physical and psychological challenges are designed to:

• Stimulate social competencies and personal growth
• Deepen personal values
• Expand individual capabilities
• Provide awareness around identity development
• Develop self-confidence and insight
• Improve interpersonal skills and relationships
