What Is Passages To Recovery?

Passages to Recovery is for problematic young men, ages 10 to 30, who want to be transformed into hopeful men through wilderness therapy, evidence-based therapies, dual diagnosis treatments, psychological testing, and the 12 steps. With a 1:3 staff to student ratio, wilderness and individualized clinical therapies are best suited to the participant’s needs. Through extensive intake evaluation and psychological testing, the co-occurring problems which hinder treatment are rooted out so that these problems do cause relapse. Mental health and substance abuse therapeutics are also integrated into the clinical program.

The Passages To Recovery Program

The Passages to Recovery program takes a participant to a 3 month recovery program in 3 stages: preparation for the wilderness experience, wilderness, and carrying out what was imbibed in the Utah wilderness. The preparation takes 10 days and is spent in learning skills necessary for the wilderness experience. Initial therapeutics is also done during the 10-day preparation. The 40-day wilderness experience is facilitated by expert guide counselors who assist the participants as they learn recovery concepts. A participant then spends the last 40 days in 12 steps meeting, group leading, helping newcomers, education and community group meetings, and preparation to join the family and community.

Participants learn and improve on the following:

Understanding how addiction affects the brain
Learning how to combat stress
Learning the 12 steps
Understanding addiction
Learning how addiction modifies the thoughts which results to addicted thinking
Assertiveness
Better emotional health
Learning the stages of change
Prevention of relapse
