This evidence-based and sensitive approach allows us to treat a wide range of mental health issues while maintaining optimal long-term recovery outcomes for our clients.

Accredited and Trusted by the Joint Commission

Our outdoor rehab in Utah is accredited by the Joint Commission. The Joint Commission is an independent, nonprofit organization that evaluates and accredits healthcare organizations and programs in the United States. Only treatment facilities with the highest standards for mental health care quality and client safety, and that are committed to maintaining and improving upon their client care, receive the Joint Commission gold seal.

Our Therapeutic Approach

A Balance of Clinical and Experiential Modalities

Legacy Outdoor Adventures is a hybrid residential treatment and outdoor therapy program. That means we blend holistic and clinical behavioral health care into a hybrid therapeutic approach. Our hybrid approach allows clinicians to customize treatment programs for each client while addressing their unique and specialized needs. 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Evidence-Based Interventions

Legacy Outdoor Adventures utilizes both individual and group therapy with a wide range of evidence-based interventions. This includes common clinical psychotherapies such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). Individual therapy offers a private place to speak with a mental health professional, while group therapy offers mutual support and healing among peers. Each therapy program is overseen and conducted by licensed and accredited professionals. 

EMDR, DBT, and Family Therapy Integration

Our treatment services offer targeted support for clients struggling with issues such as trauma, emotional regulation, or difficulties within the family. This includes:

  • Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) is a therapy designed to process trauma without re-traumatizing the client
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) teaches key skills such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness
  • Family integration and therapy through our family program

This, combined with other treatment options, is easily integrated into our adventure therapy program to create a truly unmatched healing experience. 

Levels of Care and Treatment Options

Inpatient and Residential Treatment in Utah

We offer a 90-day residential treatment program designed to help our clients recover from a wide variety of addiction, substance use, and mental health disorders. Our rehab center is located between 5 national parks in Utah, allowing for a private place for healing and self-discovery. Along with residential treatment, we offer inpatient services for clients who need psychiatric and medical care, such as medication or withdrawal management. 

Day Treatment and Step-Down Programming

Legacy Outdoor Adventures is designed to be part of a comprehensive level of care treatment plan. Clients finishing detox can begin residential treatment at Legacy once stabilized. After completing treatment at Legacy, clients can then step down into outpatient treatment, such as a partial hospitalization program (PHP) or an intensive outpatient program (IOP). We do assist clients in stepping down into other levels of care to reduce any stress or interruptions to care. 

Coordination With Outpatient Services and Referrals

To further equip our clients with the tools and resources needed to maintain sobriety, we plan for further support. This includes referrals to outpatient services once clients step down in care and comprehensive aftercare planning.

What others are saying

Insurance and Accreditation

The State of Utah licenses Legacy Outdoor Adventures as a provider of mental health and addiction treatment. This includes accreditation from the Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare Council (OBH) as well as other leaders in mental and behavioral healthcare.

Accredited by The Joint Commission for Quality and Safety

Not all programs meet the highest standard in care, including outcomes regulations and safety standards, making it a difficult decision for families to know how to trust a program. That is why we hired the personnel and invested in the highest standards to earn The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval™. The Joint Commission accreditation is a known indicator of quality and reliability, showing your family that we provide services you can trust.

Transparent Billing and Insurance Verification

Our compassionate team offers dedicated care for families seeking lasting recovery, and we work with clients who have private insurance, including out-of-network coverage, to help them access the support they need for long-term healing.

We are committed to making access to high-quality mental health and substance abuse care as affordable and seamless as possible. Unlike many programs that require families to submit “superbills” for reimbursement, we have invested in the licensure and expertise needed to pre-authorize and bill insurance directly. This approach significantly reduces out-of-pocket expenses for families, making lasting healing more accessible.

Legacy’s Commitment to Families

This fosters healing and understanding within the entire family system and provides resources for loved ones.

Partnering With Sky’s the Limit Fund for Accessible Care

Legacy Outdoor Adventures is proud to partner with Sky’s the Limit Fund to make our wilderness therapy program more accessible. Sky’s the Limit Fund provides financial assistance to families of adolescents and young adults struggling with acute mental health conditions. Through this collaboration, donations help reduce financial barriers so more families can access the healing power of nature-based therapy.
Your support can help transform lives.

Building Community Through Alumni Programs

Just because someone completes treatment at Legacy Outdoor Adventures doesn’t mean that they can no longer be active in its community. Alumni are a frequent presence with annual in-person reunion events, weekly support calls, and an opportunity to volunteer as guides after one year of sobriety. Not only does this keep alumni connected to the community that helped them, but it also provides a means to help others achieve recovery, too.
