Outdoor Adventure Recovery
What is Outdoor Adventure Recovery
Back2Basics Outdoor Adventures’ wilderness therapy is a nature-centric approach to drug and alcohol abuse treatment through rigorous outdoor hiking, camping, kayaking, snowboarding, surfing, and more to help residents build strength physically, psychologically and within their sobriety as a whole.
By combining outdoor adventures with traditional therapy and counseling, residents gain an increased understanding of self-concept and self-worth. Residents begin to experience, understand and embrace the physical and emotional benefits, and rid themselves of the harmful behaviors caused by drug abuse and alcohol abuse, which can ultimately lead to a more well-balanced lifestyle.
Benefits
What does outdoor adventure recovery involve?
Getting Back to Nature
While on the “field” with our trained Back2Basics Outdoor Adventure staff, residents are forced to address the natural elements, which develops team building skills, assists in overcoming fear, and gets them physically active.
They are taught and trained in gathering wood for meals and heat, daily water procurement and meal planning and cooking over open fire. We also provide residents with the option to become Wilderness First Responders – an accredited six-week training course and certification that residents can take with them after the program.
Discover The Possibilities
Most outdoor adventures are in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, California. Select residents will also have the opportunity to participate in our quarterly cultural immersion trip to Ixtapa-Zijuatanejo, Mexico where they will take Spanish courses, learn to surf, volunteer in local community service projects and participate in daily community/group therapy.
At Back2Basics, recovering addicts go beyond man-made concepts and distractions to discover their own spiritual enlightenment. Our seasoned and credentialed outdoor professionals offer your son the journey of a lifetime!
