Our Adventure-Based Prescription Drug Rehab Program

We can help you or a loved one recover from addiction to prescription medications, opioid use disorder (OUD), and other forms of SUD. Residential programs offer a small client-to-staff ratio, facilitating personalized care and monitoring. Our 90-day program uses integrative care and an outcome-oriented approach that fosters lasting change. The beautiful Utah setting and nature-based therapies help people who may not respond to more traditional rehab programs. 

Our Treatment Program in Utah

We use structure, accountability, skill development, and therapeutic support to help people heal and prepare for independent sobriety. 

What Sets Us Apart

Our approach to treatment goes beyond traditional models by combining clinical sophistication, structured care, and measurable outcomes. At Legacy Outdoor Adventures, 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 post-treatment support.

Highlights of Our Prescription Medication Treatment Program

Our treatment programs treat substance use disorders with comprehensive inpatient rehab and aftercare planning to create a smooth transition to lower levels of care. We prepare clients for lasting recovery from prescription drug addiction by providing healthy coping mechanisms for regulating emotions and managing withdrawal symptoms. Our team uses individual therapy, support groups, peer engagement, and family involvement. 

Building Confidence Through Adventure Therapy

Adventure therapy involves group activities that build essential life skills, including teamwork, setting boundaries, creative problem-solving, and effective communication. Wilderness experiences have been proven to improve overall well-being and lower stress. We use adventure therapy to build confidence by setting group challenges and realistic goals that give people opportunities to apply the skills they learn in therapy. 

Individual Therapy for Opioid Cravings, Trauma & Emotional Regulation

Our substance abuse treatment programs use individual therapy to help clients manage cravings, trauma responses, and mental health issues impacting emotional regulation. We use cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and other modalities to treat addiction and dual diagnosis. 

Healthcare Treatment Plans Built Around the Individual

Chronic opioid addiction and other types of SUD impact multiple areas of a person’s life and health. We use a whole-person approach and individualized care plans to ensure each client receives the best support and services to meet their unique needs. For some types of prescription drugs, we may offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and use medications to minimize cravings or other withdrawal symptoms. 

Evidence-Based Care Focused on Measurable Progress

We monitor client progress and adjust treatment plans as needed. Our outcome-oriented approach and evidence-based care create an environment that encourages healthy lifestyle changes. We help clients and their loved ones understand how our proven methods will reduce the risk of relapse or opioid overdose during early recovery and provide essential tools for maintaining lasting sobriety. 

Peer Connection & Community Support

Our programs highlight the value of peer connection and community engagement during recovery. Clients use group therapy, outdoor activities, and community events to help peers build healthy relationships that foster mutual empowerment and support.

What to Expect From Our Evidence-Based Program

We treat people who struggle with chronic drug misuse and co-occurring mental health conditions using integrative care that combines clinical modalities with wilderness experiences. 

Expert Compassionate Providers

Our addiction and mental health experts offer compassionate and trauma-informed care that fosters lasting change for people in recovery. 

Structured Clinical Therapy

Prescription drug addiction rehab involves structured therapy sessions in a clinical setting to complement the outdoor activities that introduce experiential therapy and hands-on skills development. 

Trauma-Informed Care

Many people with SUD have underlying trauma impacting their mental health. We help clients identify and address trauma using trauma-informed care. Trauma healing often produces positive breakthroughs in recovery during rehabilitation. 

Holistic Care

We look at the whole person and not only the disease of addiction during assessment and treatment. Our holistic approach to care allows us to support clients’ physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness during every stage of recovery. 

Prescription Drugs We Treat in Our Program

We treat all prescription drug addiction, including opioid painkillers and Adderall or other central nervous system (CNS) stimulants used to treat conditions like attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Treatment Options Supporting Lasting Recovery

We use a range of treatment options and services to support lasting recovery, including evidence-based therapeutic modalities and personalized care.

Evidence-Based Therapy Designed for Stability and Change

We use individual and group therapy sessions to provide clients with a safe space to process, share, and receive support. Our residential program offers therapy sessions four days a week, split into multiple sessions throughout the day. Support staff and clinicians provide guidance, emotional support, and consistent care that promote emotional regulation and stability. 

Individualized Treatment Plans Guiding Recovery Progress

Our tailored care plans provide unique support for people in recovery. We offer individualized services from the initial intake assessment and detoxification facilitation all the way through aftercare. 

Our Residential Treatment Explained

Our team combines clinical and holistic approaches in a home-like setting that encourages peer engagement. Every day is carefully structured to support recovery from alcohol and drug abuse, giving clients the tools to manage their condition and maintain stability. 

Behavioral Health Approaches That Support Long-Term Recovery

We use CBT, DBT, and other talk therapies to teach effective coping skills and replace maladaptive thought patterns with healthy alternatives. Our inpatient program supports long-term recovery through psychotherapy, peer support, and experiential therapy. 

What Aftercare Planning Looks Like After Treatment Ends

Clinicians collaborate closely with clients and their loved ones to develop a detailed aftercare plan that prepares clients for the transition from residential care. We take into consideration all factors that may impact sobriety and continued recovery. People with persistent withdrawal symptoms or complex co-occurring conditions may be referred to outpatient services that provide individual or group therapy. 

When Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment Is Right for You

Prescription drug addiction can reduce a person’s quality of life. Professional treatment gives people the resources and tools to manage their condition successfully. You or a loved one struggling with substance abuse may benefit from our inpatient program. 

Signs That Prescription Drug Use Has Become a Substance Use Disorder

Some of the common warning signs of prescription drug addiction include requiring a higher dose to achieve the same effects, an inability to stop taking the drug, withdrawal effects when not taking the drug, and continuing to abuse the drug despite negative consequences. SUD interferes with a person’s ability to maintain work, school, and personal responsibilities.

How Loved Ones Can Recognize the Need for Treatment

Family and close friends often recognize the need for treatment before their loved one does. Some warning signs of prescription drug addiction family members may notice include drug hoarding, multiple prescriptions for the same medication, and using medication prescribed for other people. We provide intervention, consultation, and support to families with loved ones experiencing SUD. 

How Physical Dependence and Cravings Develop Over Time

Prescription medications with a potential for dependence and addiction have different recommended lengths of use. Many medications continue to be prescribed for longer than recommended, increasing the risk of people developing SUD. Most people notice it takes more of the drug to achieve the same effects, and then they may notice cravings for the drug. 

When Withdrawal Symptoms Indicate a Need for Professional Help

Withdrawal symptoms that cause emotional or physical distress and interfere with a person’s ability to function need medical attention. Many medications have serious side effects if taken in ways other than recommended. People who cannot control their misuse of prescription medications should seek professional treatment to reduce the risk of lasting side effects. 

Frequently Asked Questions

People who take prescription medications for longer, at a higher dose, or in any way other than prescribed have misused the medication. Taking drugs prescribed to someone else for any reason also qualifies as substance abuse. Prescription medications should be used only by the person to whom they are prescribed, as recommended by a medical professional. 

Some of the most common prescription medications that have the potential for dependence or addiction include benzodiazepines like Xanax, painkillers like fentanyl, Adderall, Ritalin, and other medications used to treat mood disorders, chronic pain, and other conditions. 

A healthcare provider may also prescribe drugs to treat SUD that have the potential to cause dependence, including methadone and buprenorphine. We only use medications when medically necessary to provide relief from severe symptoms or to help clients maintain sobriety.

Our programs generally last 90 days. However, we can accommodate longer lengths of stay to meet the needs of clients who require additional support before transitioning to lower levels of care. 

Yes. People with mental health disorders have an increased risk of prescription drug addiction, and the opposite is also true. Many people with SUD have co-occurring mental health issues that we treat simultaneously.

Relapse prevention education and planning prepare people for long-term recovery by ensuring they know how to recognize the warning signs of relapse and how best to respond. We provide comprehensive relapse-prevention planning to ensure clients feel confident in their ability to manage their condition before transitioning to outpatient treatment or aftercare. 

Families support their loved one during rehabilitation by actively participating in the treatment process by attending family therapy, psychoeducation sessions, support groups, and community events. 

Substance abuse impacts all members of a family unit, and everyone benefits from healing together using professional recovery services and community-based programs. Family members of young adults especially benefit from the guidance of healthcare professionals who can help them navigate each stage of recovery. 

Our medical professionals provide insight and assistance to families during every step of their loved one’s recovery journey, from the initial intake and medical detox facilitation to inpatient care and outpatient treatment.
