Licensed, Accredited, and Clinically Driven Care

Legacy Outdoor Adventures is an addiction treatment center fully licensed by the State of Utah to provide mental and behavioral health care services. We are proud to hold several accreditations and licenses from the Joint Commission, the Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare Council (OBH), and more. Our various licenses and accreditations inspire us to continually strive to offer the best in quality treatment, safety, and client-driven care. 

Low Client-to-Staff Ratios for Personalized Attention

Our cocaine addiction treatment in Utah has small client sizes, with a capacity for 24 clients at a time. This low client-to-staff ratio ensures that each client receives personalized care and attention for optimal recovery.

Integrated Mental Health and Substance Use Support

Our integrated treatment services include 12-Step facilitation, S.M.A.R.T. Recovery, Sober Living, and other support tools and resources for recovery. This, along with our blended clinical and holistic treatment plans, offers the best outcomes for long-term recovery.

Family Involvement and Communication

Legacy offers a Family Program that offers weekly therapeutic updates, family therapy sessions, workshops, support groups, and educational webinars. This helps keep families involved in their loved one’s recovery and find healing and support for themselves. 

Holistic and Experiential Healing Opportunities

Our holistic approach to healing teaches skills that encourage our clients to improve their overall well-being. This includes learning how to nourish themselves, sleep better, move their bodies, and more. Clients learn these skills organically through our experiential healing opportunities, which encourage rest, education, and mindful living. 

Lasting Connection With Nature Beyond Treatment

Legacy’s campfire culture is a way for clients and their peers to form deep connections with each other and the nature beyond them. This connection often persists past treatment, which instills a great love of nature that can be used to reduce stress and prevent relapse. Many of our alumni return to become field guides themselves after a year of sobriety as a way to give back to the community.

Program Highlights

Comprehensive Assessment and Individual Therapy

Each client is assessed by licensed mental and medical healthcare providers to ensure each client’s needs are noted and addressed through treatment. This then proceeds to individual therapy, which helps clients forge a trusting bond with their treatment providers for private and safe healing. 

Group and Family Therapy for Lasting Connection

Family and peer support in our recovery program is critical for lasting recovery. Through group and family therapy, clients learn how to better communicate with each other, trust in other people, and work with others. These skills are important not just for recovery, but as a useful tool for interactions with others post-treatment. 

Evidence-Based Modalities: CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness Practices

Our rehab center uses a wide range of evidence-based modalities that address the underlying causes of addiction and co-occurring mental health issues. Some examples include:

  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
  • Group therapy
  • EMDR therapy
  • Motivational interviewing (MI) 
  • Adventure therapy
  • Equine therapy
  • Mindfulness practices
  • Yoga
  • Meditation
  • And more

Experiential and Adventure Therapy in the Utah Wilderness

Our exciting outdoor therapeutic adventures take clients through diverse terrain, including desert red rocks, mountains, farmland, and lush green forests. This awe-inspiring scenery allows our clients to enjoy a wealth of therapeutic outdoor activities, such as fishing, hiking, and rock climbing. 

What to Expect During Treatment

Daily Structure That Builds Stability and Confidence

Clients split their time between outdoor adventures and “base,” our treatment center. While at base, clients engage in structured activities, such as daily individual and group therapy, while having access to a nurse and a medical doctor. Clients have time to practice self-care, participate in normal activities (such as doing laundry), and free time to rest. 

Therapeutic Activities in Nature and Group Connection

Our therapeutic activities require clients to work together to further promote the development of coping skills and mental resilience. Outdoor activities in our drug treatment program help clients reconnect with others and find understanding companionship. 

Mindfulness, Skill-Building, and Self-Reflection in Recovery

Engaging in nature not only teaches clients essential skills, such as teamwork, survival, and problem-solving, but it also encourages inner reflection and self-discovery. These skills, along with mindfulness, create a tool-kit for lasting and successful recovery. 

As part of a hybrid treatment model, a mentor teaches a young man fly fishing, a recreational therapy that develops mindfulness, patience, and healthy coping skills on the path to recovery.

Treatment Options and Levels of Care

Residential and Inpatient Treatment Programs

Our treatment facility at Legacy is primarily known for inpatient detox and residential treatment, which lasts for 90 days. We do transitional assistance and planning for further levels of care, which includes outpatient and aftercare services. 

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Day Treatment Options

The next level of care after residential or inpatient treatment is PHP for clients who need more intensive support. This program is offered to clients who may still struggle with cravings or have a high risk of relapse until they are ready for outpatient care.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Aftercare Support

Outpatient treatment options are flexible and allow clients to return to normal activities while still receiving care. This is typically the last step of treatment before moving on to aftercare services. Legacy believes in extensive aftercare planning while clients are in treatment. As such, clients will receive the resources and referrals they need for continuous support post-treatment.

Sober Living and Ongoing Alumni Resources

The Summit Graduation Phase is the final step of our 90-day treatment program. It’s a sober living home that equips clients with the tools and skills they need to transition from treatment to normal life. This connects clients with resources that they will utilize as alumni, such as support groups and community events. As such, alumni remain connected to the Legacy community, which offers a variety of resources they can utilize for lasting recovery.

Additional Program Features

Medication Management and Clinical Monitoring

Detox is the first step in treating drug and alcohol addiction, but it can be uncomfortable, and sometimes even dangerous. Our team of medical professionals is highly trained in addiction treatment, and as such, offers medical monitoring and medication management to make detox and recovery safe and comfortable. 

Dual Diagnosis and Integrated Mental Health Treatment

Addiction and substance use disorder rarely occur on their own. These conditions can create or exacerbate existing mental health conditions. As such, Legacy is fully prepared with dual diagnosis-focused treatment plans. We can treat a wide variety of co-occurring mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and more.

Peer Support, Community, and Family Engagement

Our campfire culture and family program encourage clients to reach out for companionship and support. This includes integration into our alumni sober community, which offers further support and accountability post-treatment. Once you are part of Legacy’s family, you are never truly alone in your recovery journey. 

Aftercare Planning and Long-Term Relapse Prevention

Recovering from drug abuse doesn’t stop once treatment is complete. It’s a lifelong journey that can be full of bumps and pitfalls. To protect our clients and promote long-term recovery, we meticulously plan for aftercare services while clients are in treatment. This, along with continued support services, allows our clients to avoid relapse and remain in recovery. 

Environment and Experience

Restorative Utah Landscape Designed for Healing

Legacy Outdoor Adventures is located in a quiet, secluded valley surrounded by nature. This not only gives our clients a distraction-free place to reconnect with nature but also offers a private and secure place for healing. 

Comfortable, Supportive Living Spaces

Clients stay in modern, clean, and comfortable cabins and lodges at our treatment center, which we call “base.” Once in the graduation phase, clients move to our sober housing, which prepares them for life post-treatment. 

Outdoor Activities That Promote Confidence and Clarity

Our clients participate in several outdoor activities that are designed to help them become more confident, reflective, and self-reliant. They range from team-building activities to exciting adventures, such as mountain biking and canyoneering. Each activity serves a therapeutic purpose and is overseen by industry professionals.
