Our Meth Addiction Treatment Program for Women

Meth addiction can have a significant impact on many areas of a woman’s life, from their physical and mental well-being to their relationships, employment, and much more. Many women will also struggle with co-occurring mental health disorders like anxiety, depression, unresolved trauma, and low self-esteem. At our treatment facility, we offer a gender-specific residential treatment program that addresses all of these challenges through trauma-informed, evidence-based care. 

Our program is 90 days long and takes place here in Loa, Utah. It combines clinical therapy, adventure therapy, and personalized treatment planning to help those struggling with meth addiction not only get sober but also set them up for success on the road to recovery that will last in the long term. 

Treatment is led by our team of licensed therapists, medical personnel, adventure therapy professionals, and additional recovery support staff. Because the number of clients per program is limited, each woman can receive regular, individualized care.

A Safe Healing Addiction Treatment Center for Women

Many women who are struggling with meth addiction or other forms of drug abuse look for treatment centers where they will feel safe, comfortable, and understood. They may also be looking for a place where they can seek treatment for underlying causes of substance use, such as trauma, difficult life circumstances, or mental health conditions. Because of this, we provide a gender-specific residential treatment program where women can receive full-person individualized care in a safe environment. 

At our facility, we believe complete healing incorporates more than just getting sober. It involves treating trauma and other underlying causes of substance use. In addition, our program involves building greater resiliency, healthier coping mechanisms for stress, and other important life skills that will be useful in maintaining long-term recovery. 

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.

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.

The Dangers of Methamphetamine Use

Meth use can lead not only to drug addiction but also to a variety of dangerous physical health problems and mental health side effects. The effects of meth may include severe weight loss, mood swings, skin sores, premature aging, psychosis, and a condition known as meth mouth. Meth can also lead to uncomfortable withdrawal side effects, making it difficult to discontinue use. Crystal meth addiction, in particular, can lead to long-term effects, including detrimental physical and mental health consequences when left untreated. 

The Importance of Meth Addiction Treatment

Meth is a highly addictive stimulant that can have serious and long-lasting effects on a person’s mental and physical health. Without professional treatment, meth users will likely undergo continuing worsening health issues, greater tolerance and dependence, and withdrawal symptoms that will make it extremely difficult to stop using the drug. Proper treatment involves not only helping the individual safely detox and achieve sobriety, but also addressing the underlying issues that may have contributed to their substance use in the first place.

What to Expect From Our Adventure-Based Rehab Center

When going into treatment, and particularly when entering treatment for the first time, it can be helpful to have an idea of what to expect. At Legacy Outdoor Adventures, women can expect their day to follow a set, structured routine that includes peer connection, evidence-based care, and adventure therapy. This is intended to help women build greater resiliency and confidence as they move forward with recovery.

A Structured Daily Routine

At our facility, we believe that a structured daily routine is important because it helps to establish healthy habits, important life skills, and accountability. Daily routines will consist of both individual and group counseling, adventure therapy, and other wellness activities, as well as evidence-based treatment. 

Community Connection

Recovery does not occur in isolation, but rather through peer support and community connection. We encourage community connection throughout meth addiction treatment for women by providing an environment where women can grow and learn from one another while establishing friendships that will last beyond treatment. 

Holistic and Trauma-Informed Care

Addiction often occurs alongside past trauma that may not yet be resolved. We utilize an approach that recognizes this and is aimed at treating not only addiction itself, but its underlying causes. Our team prioritizes the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of each client by implementing evidence-based behavioral health care alongside holistic approaches such as adventure therapy. 

Medication Management (case-by-case basis)

In some cases, medication may be needed to not only treat the side effects of substance use, but also potential co-existing mental health conditions such as anxiety and depression. We carefully evaluate each woman to determine which, if any, medications are appropriate to be incorporated into their individualized treatment plan and continue to assess progress while managing these medications.

Treatment Options During Methamphetamine Addiction Treatment 

Recovery from methamphetamine addiction requires a complete approach that addresses not only substance use on its own but also the additional factors that may be contributing to it. At our facility, we provide residential treatment and, within our program, offer a variety of evidence-based and holistic methods, including adventure therapy, individual therapy, and integrated mental health treatment. 

Residential Treatment

Women reside in our treatment facility for the duration of our 90-day program. Within this environment, they have access to around-the-clock support, individualized care, and continued clinical oversight. They also have the ability to separate themselves from the daily stresses and distractions of daily life while focusing on their own recovery and healing. 

Integrated Mental Health Treatment

Through individual therapy and other forms of treatment, both addiction and the underlying causes of addiction are addressed simultaneously through integrated care. 

Adventure Therapy

Our focus on adventure therapy as a key aspect of treatment is one of the primary things that sets us apart from other addiction treatment centers. Adventure therapy may include activities like hiking, mountain biking, climbing, and fishing. All of these activities can be used to teach key life lessons while building emotional strength and resiliency, self-confidence, and healthy coping skills. 

Individual Therapy

One-on-one sessions alongside a licensed clinical therapist are an important aspect of daily life at our treatment center. Through these sessions, women can work through different emotions and address the potential underlying causes of their substance use. This may include life stresses, relationship problems, mental health issues, or unresolved trauma. 

Individual therapy can also help women develop healthier coping mechanisms for stress and other negative emotions and help them recognize triggers and how to handle them if they arise. 

Evidence-Based Mental Health and Addiction Treatment 

We use evidence-based, trauma-informed therapies to treat both substance use and mental health disorders. This approach helps the individual to understand and address what factors may have contributed to their substance use. 

Each treatment program is individualized to fit the woman’s specific, unique needs. Treatment plans may include individual therapy, group counseling, adventure therapy, and medication management when necessary.

Treatment Options to Support the Recovery Journey

Women in meth addiction treatment may benefit from a personalized combination of evidence-based therapies, medical care, trauma-informed counseling, and holistic services that address the physical, emotional, and psychological effects of addiction. As recovery progresses, ongoing support through individual therapy, group counseling, relapse prevention planning, and aftercare programs can help build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and promote lasting sobriety.

Relapse Prevention

From the very beginning of treatment, relapse prevention strategies are utilized to set the client up for success and ensure that they feel confident transitioning back to their daily life upon finishing treatment. 

Family Therapy

At our facility, family members are encouraged to play an active role throughout the treatment process. Family therapy is available to improve communication, promote understanding, and rebuild trust. 

Aftercare Program

Recovery must continue after the initial stages of treatment. Before discharge, each woman will receive an individualized plan detailing their next steps. This may include another level of care, such as an outpatient program, sober living, or therapy.
