Passages to Recovery is a young adult substance abuse treatment program set in the pristine wilderness of central Utah.

Are you ready to find your passage to recovery? Call (866) 375-4771.
You will participate in an experiential process that includes backpacking, camping, learning primitive skills for fire building, building and participating in sweat lodges and a vision quest. The wilderness setting does more than offer an awe-inspiring alternative to a traditional treatment setting. It removes the constant noise and distractions of modern-life while providing a spiritually, physically and emotionally safe environment for the rediscovery of the joy of living. The treatment program includes traditional interventions such as thorough clinical assessment (which includes a psychiatric evaluation and care), individual and group therapy. Your treatment team includes highly skilled wilderness therapists and guides, a substance abuse counselor, counseling staff, a psychiatrist, psychologist and a physician.
The actual treatment program integrates the Twelve Step model with traditional assessment and therapy along with the experiential learning provided by the wilderness setting. Passages To Recovery focuses on a holistic approach to life and living, stimulating healthy connections between people and the natural world around us. Authentic interdependent relationships fostered by the experience accelerate the process of trusting and building accountability with oneself and those people in our lives.
The wilderness is a place where human beings have always traveled to seek relationship with a Higher Power. In returning to the wilderness and the natural world, we regain our sense of humility and awe. We understand that life is sacred and that existence itself is a profound mystery with each of us playing a part in that mystery.
