Wilderness Based Treatment Programs for Teens
Treatment typically begins with an assessment and transition into the residential wilderness program, where clients live outdoors and participate in primitive living skills alongside structured therapeutic support.
This inpatient style setting integrates therapy into daily hiking, fitness and adventure outings rather than a traditional facility based format.
Clients can expect weekly individual counseling, group therapy, adventure and experiential therapy, life skills development and family counseling.
The program also addresses cooccurring conditions such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder and ADHD.
