Addiction Therapy Designed for Young Adults Ready to Reclaim Their Lives

Young adults have an increased risk of abusing substances. Legacy Outdoor Adventure provides addiction treatment and mental health support for young people with substance use disorder (SUD) or dual diagnosis. Our addiction treatment program uses experiential therapy and evidence-based modalities to help individuals 18 and older heal from the damaging effects of addiction, trauma, or mental health issues. Young people participating in our programs learn the necessary skills to reclaim control of their lives. 

A Different Kind of Addiction Therapy: Why Legacy Stands Apart

Legacy Outdoor Adventure offers a unique blend of outdoor therapy and traditional recovery services. We understand the value of healing in a natural environment and the importance of developing practical coping skills through everyday activities. Our approach to treatment allows us to create personalized treatment plans that address the root causes of addiction, trauma, or mental health disorders. We offer traditional therapeutic modalities, including individual and group psychotherapy, as well as holistic treatments. Our whole-person approach to client care focuses on overall wellness, encompassing not only addiction and mental health recovery but also the broader aspects of a client’s life. 

Types of Addiction Therapy at Legacy Outdoor Adventure

Our treatment programs offer multiple approaches to addiction therapy, including individual, group, peer, and family therapy options. The types of treatment we offer also include outdoor therapy sessions. Legacy Outdoor Adventure utilizes wilderness therapy to help clients develop confidence, self-awareness, and coping skills. Every client undergoes a comprehensive series of assessments during the initial intake interview to ensure they receive the best support to meet their needs during rehabilitation for drug or alcohol addiction. 

Individual Therapy & Treatment Planning

We tailor every client’s treatment plan to their specific needs and circumstances. Care planning is a highly collaborative process, and our experts educate clients and their loved ones about all available treatment options to ensure they make informed decisions about the type of therapy they participate in. 

Some of the therapeutic modalities used in individual sessions include: 
  • Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
  • Mindfulness-based therapies 
  • Experiential therapies
  • Additional holistic and evidence-based therapies
Behavioral health plays a vital role in addiction recovery. Individual therapy sessions enable clients to learn, grow, and develop a solid skill set for long-term, successful management of their condition. The mental health professionals at Legacy Outdoor Adventure work with clients to ensure their mental well-being during treatment for alcohol or drug addiction. 

Group Therapy & Peer Support

Support groups and group therapy help clients manage withdrawal symptoms and mental health conditions. Legacy Outdoor Adventure encourages outpatient clients to take advantage of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and other community-based self-help meetings. 

According to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), “Mutual self-help groups provide a forum and opportunity for individuals in recovery to connect with others who have similar experiences and goals, allowing them to build relationships within a substance-free support network.” In addition, “Research evidence supports the efficacy of recovery-oriented mutual self-help groups, especially 12-step programs.” Peer support motivates individuals to stay committed to the recovery process. 

Family Therapy & Support

Family often plays a critical role in initiating interventions for a loved one struggling with addiction. Many people only enter treatment when family members or close friends prompt them. Family involvement in the treatment and recovery process can improve outcomes and add an additional layer of accountability. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), “Families should be open to the options of support groups or family therapy and counseling, which can improve treatment effectiveness by supporting the whole family.” Legacy Outdoor Adventure provides family therapy and other support services to help clients recover and heal. 

Outdoor & Experiential Therapy

The short and long-term impact of chronic alcohol or drug use affects people’s beliefs, thoughts, and behaviors. Outdoor and experiential therapy helps clients replace maladaptive beliefs and behaviors with healthier alternatives by utilizing practical coping mechanisms, skill development, and emotional regulation. Individuals with co-occurring mental illness often report better outcomes if they participate in experiential therapy and other holistic treatments.

The dedicated experts at Legacy Outdoor Adventure use various forms of experiential therapy to help clients learn the following: 
  • Creative problem-solving and healthier decision-making 
  • Effective communication 
  • Teamwork
  • Basic life skills 
The tools clients learn in experiential therapy sessions enhance their quality of life and facilitate easier management of SUD or dual diagnosis.

Addiction Therapy That Builds Coping Skills and Lasting Resilience

Individuals with alcohol use disorder (AUD), SUD, or behavioral addictions benefit from integrative health care that allows them to build resilience and a strong support network. Our mental health professionals use psychotherapy, peer support, family therapy, and other tools to guide clients through the recovery process. 

Evidence-Based, Outcomes-Driven: How We Measure Success

We focus on outcome-driven and evidence-based treatment options. Our addiction and mental health professionals remain up-to-date on the latest recovery treatments. The innovative programs at Legacy Outdoor Adventure utilize a range of therapies and relapse prevention strategies to prepare clients for sobriety in the real world. Treatment programs heavily rely on wilderness therapy and group activities to promote healing, foster group bonding, and facilitate personal growth.

Our Integrated Care Model

We have an integrative care model to ensure clients receive consistent and high-quality support throughout every stage of their recovery journey. Individuals with dual diagnoses especially benefit from integrative care and tailored treatment services. According to Social Work in Public Health, “Integrated treatment for comorbidity has been found to be consistently superior compared to treatment of individual disorders with separate treatment plans.” 

Detox Support

Our detox support services help clients manage cravings, intrusive thoughts, and other symptoms of SUD. Individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) or other conditions may need methadone, naltrexone, buprenorphine, or other prescription medications to reduce the risk of relapse and decrease the severity of symptoms. We work with clients to ensure they get the type of support they need during withdrawal. 

Our experts tailor detox support to meet the specific needs and recovery goals of each individual, ensuring effective treatment. We also provide referral information to higher levels of care and more comprehensive detox support to ensure clients receive the best withdrawal treatment. 

Medication-Assisted Treatment

Individuals who frequently abuse alcohol, stimulants, or other substances may benefit from medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Substance use disorder treatment often involves a combination of treatment modalities and services, including MAT. We provide some medication assistance on a case-by-case basis. A mental health professional uses assessments to determine if a client may benefit from using prescription medications to manage the symptoms and side effects of SUD. Potential clients undergo screenings and an intake interview conducted by one of our healthcare professionals to determine what form of detox and withdrawal management will give them the best outcomes. 

Inpatient Residential Care

Residential treatment services provide a higher level of care for individuals who lack a support system at home, have a history of relapse, or experience more severe symptoms of withdrawal. Inpatient treatment reduces distractions and exposure to triggers, providing clients with a safe and structured environment where they can learn essential coping skills. 

Transition & Outpatient Referrals

We understand that some clients may have specialized needs during ongoing recovery or outpatient care. Our clinicians provide referrals to private and community-based services, including individual therapy, support groups, and other relevant resources. Legacy Outdoor Adventure collaborates with clients and their loved ones to coordinate a seamless transition to aftercare, ensuring a smooth and stress-free experience for all involved. 

Clients benefit from consistent care through every stage of the recovery process. Our experts provide aftercare planning, outpatient services, and alumni support to ensure clients continue to receive critical support during the early stages of recovery. Families can also continue to take advantage of our support services and receive referrals to local resources. 

Start the Journey: A Transformative Path to Recovery

Legacy Outdoor Adventure offers a transformative path to addiction recovery. We pride ourselves on prioritizing tailored care for every client, thereby reducing the risk of relapse and enhancing client resilience. Our adventure therapy and continuum of care offer a fresh take on the recovery experience for individuals who may not have had positive experiences with more traditional treatment services. 

The beautiful scenic location, community activities, and expert care allow clients to heal in a welcoming and supportive environment. Recovery does not end after clients complete our rehabilitation programs, and neither does our support. We continue to encourage, guide, and inspire alumni as they recover and grow in their ongoing care.
