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 clients build strength physically, psychologically and within their sobriety as a whole.

By combining outdoor adventures with traditional therapy and counseling, clients gain an increased understanding of self-concept and self-worth. Clients 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

Self-awareness outdoors
Community development
Bond with nature
Connection of mind, body and spirit

What does outdoor adventure recovery involve?

Getting Back to Nature

While on the “field” with our trained Back2Basics Outdoor Adventure staff, clients 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 clients with the option to become Wilderness First Responders – an accredited six-week training course and certification that clients can take with them after the program.

Discover The Possibilities

Most outdoor adventures are in Arizona, Utah, Colorado, California. Select clients 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!
