Lions Gate Recovery

Nature-Based Setting with Recreational Structure

Located in Parowan, Utah, Lions Gate Recovery provides treatment in a log cabin-style residential home surrounded by desert and mountain views. Clients live in shared bedrooms and gather in outdoor lounge spaces, including a fire pit area and on-site basketball and tennis courts. Its proximity to Zion and Bryce Canyon National Parks provides an environment intentionally designed to reduce stress through connection with nature, and support grounding during recovery.

Integrated Adventure Therapy for Physical and Emotional Growth

Lions Gate places adventure and recreational therapy at the center of its treatment model. Clients engage in physically and emotionally challenging activities like jiu-jitsu, hiking, yoga, fishing, and physical exercise. These activities are embedded into treatment planning as tools to build self-confidence, regulate emotions, and create daily structure. This approach is especially beneficial for people healing from trauma or co-occurring mental health disorders who may benefit from these forms of recovery.

Trauma-Informed, Evidence-Based Clinical Care

While the setting is informal and outdoors-focused, the therapeutic approach is grounded in clinical standards. Clients participate in individual, group, and family therapy, and the program includes modalities like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and trauma-informed care. Services are designed to address both substance use and the root causes that often accompany it, like trauma or emotional dysregulation. Spiritual support is also available for those who seek it.

Lifetime Aftercare for Lasting Connection

The facility offers a lifetime aftercare guarantee, emphasizing long-term support as a core part of the recovery process. Alumni have access to ongoing groups and community-building resources designed to reduce isolation and support continued progress. This structure reinforces Lions Gate’s belief that recovery does not end at discharge, but is a lifelong process best supported by ongoing relationships and accountability.

Patient Feedback

Former clients frequently highlight the facility’s warm, family-style environment and the power of its outdoor therapy model. Many note the staff’s genuine care and the personalized nature of the experience. Alumni speak highly of the ongoing community they’ve found through the program’s lifetime aftercare, suggesting that Lions Gate fosters not just recovery, but enduring connection.
