Building Trust & Enhancing Teamwork Through Outdoor Activities

Adventure therapy helps clients build focus, trust, and physical awareness through structured outdoor activities. Guests participate in kayaking and ropes courses that emphasize teamwork, communication, and emotional regulation. The natural setting of the Pacific Northwest offers a calming backdrop that complements the clinical goals of this hands-on therapy.

Creative Activities to Support Vulnerability & Self-Reflection

Activity therapy integrates creative practices like art, journaling, yoga, and music into the therapeutic process. These sessions encourage expression beyond words and offer tools for managing anxiety, stress, and emotional challenges. Clients explore their thoughts and experiences through movement and rhythm-based activities, all within a supportive, structured environment. The aim is to improve emotional insight and build healthy routines that reinforce recovery.

Reliable, Culturally Competent Care

The specialized track for indigenous clients incorporates teachings from the Wellbriety Movement and White Bison’s Mending Broken Hearts curriculum. This approach addresses the effects of intergenerational trauma while honoring spiritual and cultural traditions. Participants engage in drum circles, Native Holistic Recovery, and sweat lodge visits, all designed to support connection, healing, and respect for cultural identity throughout the recovery process.

Hands-On, Long-Term Aftercare Planning

Case managers assist with housing, legal issues, job placement, scheduling appointments, and accessing community benefits. The goal is to build a foundation for long-term independence by coordinating care and practical resources. Plans are updated regularly in collaboration with the client to reflect progress and changing needs.

Outcome-Driven Dual Diagnosis

Clients receive individualized support that combines therapy, medication management, and trauma-informed care. The program places strong emphasis on helping clients understand the connection between mental health symptoms and addiction, then build actionable strategies to manage both. Dual diagnosis treatment includes psychoeducation, relapse prevention, and structured goal setting tailored to each person’s needs. Psychiatric oversight is available throughout the continuum, supporting safety and continuity during vulnerable phases of recovery.
