Jaywalker Lodge LLC - Lodge Program

Adventure-Based Recovery in the Mountains

Recovery here extends to the peaks, rivers, and trails of the local Rockies. Activities like hiking, skiing, mountain biking, rock climbing, and kayaking aren’t just recreational, they’re integrated into the clinical model as tools for building resilience, trust, and self-efficacy. For clients who have experienced repeated relapses, this immersive, physical approach can be especially grounding and transformative.

Community from the Lodge to the Town

This model thrives on strong peer connection and shared responsibility. Clients become part of a community where mutual accountability is not just encouraged, but expected. This approach creates a tight-knit, recovery-focused culture that extends beyond the treatment period. Many graduates choose to remain in Carbondale, contributing to both an active alumni network and local business community.

Learning and Practicing the Skills That Make Recovery Last

Participants engage in a full schedule of group and individual sessions, trauma-informed care, and wellness programming, all within an open, peer-driven environment. What sets this program apart is its emphasis on practicing recovery skills in daily life while still receiving robust support. Built on connection and personal responsibility, this program helps men apply what they’re learning in treatment to real challenges in real time—laying the groundwork for lasting recovery.

What Clients Say
