Our Nature-Based Treatment Programs

Legacy is a licensed and accredited mental health and addiction treatment program that integrates evidence-based therapy with outdoor adventure. Our addiction recovery and mental health treatment is accredited by the Joint Commission and the Association for Experiential Education.

Clients engage in meaningful outdoor experiences as part of a comprehensive treatment plan. Activities include canyoneering, backpacking, fishing, mountain biking, climbing, and peak summiting throughout the treatment process. These experiences create opportunities for challenge, accomplishment, connection, and personal growth that support lasting recovery. Licensed to accept insurance, we are known for our commitment to measurable treatment effectiveness, supported by more than a decade of research-driven outcomes and the Research Designated Gold Seal.

Our programs provide gender-specific support for young adults ages 18 to 40 who are navigating addiction, mental health, and identity challenges. Legacy Outdoor Adventures 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.

If you believe that you or a loved one may benefit from treatment at our facility, we welcome you to reach out to our team.

What Sets Us Apart

Our approach to treatment goes beyond traditional models by combining clinical sophistication, structured care, and measurable outcomes. At Legacy, every aspect of the program is intentionally designed to support deep, lasting healing, not just short-term stabilization.

Adventure Therapy Integrated With Clinical Treatment

Our program combines adventure therapy three days per week with over 20 hours of structured clinical therapy. This balanced approach helps clients apply therapeutic insights in real-world settings, building resilience, confidence, and emotional regulation in a way that traditional settings often cannot replicate.

Individualized, Whole-Person Treatment
Plans

Every client receives a personalized treatment plan based on a comprehensive evaluation of their mental health, substance use, trauma history, and lifestyle factors. We treat the whole person by integrating clinical care, experiential work, and personal development into one cohesive process.

Trauma-Informed, Clinically Sophisticated Approach

All care is delivered through a trauma-informed lens, ensuring emotional safety while addressing the underlying drivers of substance use and mental health challenges. Our licensed clinicians provide advanced therapeutic interventions in a structured, supportive environment.

Structured Residential Setting With High Clinical Engagement

As a licensed residential treatment center (RTC), we provide a highly structured environment that supports consistency, accountability, and focus. Clients engage in a full weekly schedule of therapy, adventure-based experiences, and guided reflection designed to promote sustainable change.

Low Client-to-Staff Ratio and Personalized Attention

With a limited number of clients, our team is able to provide focused, individualized attention. This allows for deeper therapeutic relationships, more responsive care, and a treatment experience tailored to each client’s needs and goals.

Aftercare & Long-Term Recovery Planning

We believe in comprehensive care and, as such, work with clients for long-term recovery planning. The Summit Graduation Phase is our way of ensuring that clients transition from treatment with the skills and planning needed for success. This program is embedded in our 90-day program and includes referrals and resources for further support post-treatment. 

Accreditations

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

Building Community Through Alumni Programs

Relapse Prevention for Lifelong Wellness

Our relapse prevention education and planning improve client well-being by reducing the risk of relapse and enhancing the benefits of substance use disorder treatment. Healthcare professionals use relapse prevention to ensure clients feel confident in their ability to maintain lasting sobriety. Relapse prevention uses some of the methods taught in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and other forms of talk therapy.

When It’s Time to Seek Help

Some of the signs of addiction include withdrawal symptoms such as cravings, an inability to stop abusing the substance despite repeated attempts, and continuing to abuse the substance despite negative consequences. If the use of substances is interfering with daily functioning, it’s time to seek help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need medical detox before entering your rehab program?
Most people will require detox before transitioning to residential treatment. Medical detox provides the stabilization that allows clients to safely transition into the levels of care we provide. Our case managers provide referrals to trusted detoxification programs in Salt Lake City and other cities in Utah.

Whether you need outpatient treatment, an intensive outpatient program, or residential care depends on several different factors, including the severity of your addiction or mental health struggle and whether or not you have a good support system at home. Clinicians use comprehensive assessments to determine what form of treatment you may benefit from most. 

The length of time you stay at a drug rehab facility depends on the type of program that you are taking part in. At Legacy Outdoor Adventures, a typical stay is 90 days. Our programs use evidence-based therapies to address addiction, behavioral health, and specific mental health issues. We offer referrals to day treatment, sober living communities, and other services to clients who have completed our program.

We offer the Legacy Family Program as part of our residential treatment experience, providing families with ongoing updates and support while a loved one is undergoing treatment. Our Legacy Family Program offers weekly therapeutic updates for family members, telehealth family therapy sessions, in-person family workshops, and more to foster healing not just for the individual in treatment but for their family systems as well.

Many people with substance use disorder find it challenging to see the reality of their condition and their need for help. Addiction affects how people process and respond to circumstances in their lives. The clinical team at Legacy Outdoor Adventures collaborates with families to help them navigate the intervention and intake process. Families often play an integral role in ensuring individuals with substance use disorder get the support and treatment they need to rebuild their lives.

At Legacy Outdoor Adventures, 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. 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.

Legacy Outdoor Adventures is licensed by the State of Utah as a provider of mental health and addiction treatment. Many insurance companies will cover part of the cost of medically necessary treatment at our facility. Our programs can preauthorize and bill insurance and work with a variety of insurance providers. To determine whether your provider is in-network and how much of our treatment programs it may cover, you can reach out to our admissions team.

We understand that beginning the journey to recovery can feel overwhelming. That’s why our admissions process is designed to be clear, compassionate, and efficient. When you reach out, our experienced team will guide you through each step, starting with a thorough intake assessment to understand your unique needs. This assessment not only helps us develop a personalized treatment plan but also provides the necessary information to facilitate insurance authorization. 

We are committed to making the admissions process as smooth as possible so that families can focus on healing and growth from the very first contact. Whether you’re seeking treatment for yourself or a loved one, we’re here to support you every step of the way – starting with a warm, understanding introduction to our care team.
