This approach significantly reduces out-of-pocket expenses for families, making lasting healing more accessible. We work with a variety of insurance providers, leveraging our licensure to secure pre-authorization and billing, ensuring that families can focus on recovery without unnecessary financial stress.

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.
