About Second Nature Family Therapy

Second Nature Therapeutic Wilderness Program in Duchesne, Utah, offers camp-style treatment for children and adolescents who are struggling with mental health conditions and substance use disorders (SUD). Since 1998, they’ve offered an intensive, therapeutic experience that uses hiking as the primary treatment model.

While they offer a multitude of different services like psychological testing, enhanced family therapy and parenting coaching, their main focus is helping kids and teens reconnect with the natural world as they heal from the inside out.

This program is truly unique because it harnesses the healing power of nature to help clients work through their emotional and behavioral struggles. You’ll engage in low-impact hiking for three to five days each week, covering about one to four miles daily. Layover days are reserved for therapeutic activities like individual and group therapy as well as medical visits. Fresh food and laundry are also delivered at this time.

Basically, this is a camp with a community structure. When you’re not hiking, you’ll be responsible for helping with the chores, engaging with your peers and completing teamwork initiatives. There’s also plenty of time for reading, completing assignments and enjoying downtime.

Located about 80 miles from Park City, Duchesne is the ideal place to go on an adventure like this. You’ll hike around different sections of the Colorado Plateau, including the High Uintas or the Uinta Basin, depending on the season, and both sites offer amazing views. The facility itself has basecamps at its centrally located field area, which allows necessary supplies to be delivered and gives campers space to relax and recharge.

Amenities

Private Rehab

Private drug rehab provides a comfortable, secure environment that allows you to focus on doing the work to get your life back on track. Benefits include a higher staff-to-client ratio, increased one-on-one time with therapists and healthcare providers, private rooms for clients, and customized forms of therapy.

Residential Setting

Residential drug rehab provides the comforts of home with the therapeutic support needed to successfully recover. Benefits of an inpatient program include increased safety, a higher success rate, and the time and distance given to focus on recovery. Residential drug rehabs are often the preferred method of treatment, as they can be tailored to meet specific needs, offer focused therapeutic care, and provide the necessary tools to sustain recovery.

Rec Room & Activities

Recreational therapy uniquely combines therapeutic interventions with an activity, like horse-riding, hiking, wilderness therapy, basketball, tennis, or a full workout. Benefits of recreational therapy include providing a healthy way to work through the emotions of recovery, learning to build and maintain relationships, improving communication skills, and building self-esteem.

Meditation Room

Yoga and meditation are great activities to support your recovery process during alcohol or drug rehab. These therapies have been around for centuries, and they are an effective way to improve well-being. Combining addiction treatment, yoga, and meditation can reduce cravings, improve sleep, relieve anxiety and depression, provide stress relief, promote relaxation, support emotional healing, and improve energy levels.

Art Therapy

Art and music are mediums that connect with our feelings, making them a great recovery tool during addiction treatment. Studies show that combining art/music and drug rehab can have a greater therapeutic impact than drug rehab alone, as you’re able to access parts of your brain and body that you may not have access to during traditional talk therapy. Benefits of art/music therapy include lowering stress and anxiety, promoting healthy neurochemicals, and providing stress relief.

Yoga Studio

Treatment centers with a yoga studio offer a special form of holistic therapy during the recovery process. Yoga boosts mindfulness, a sense of calm, and healthy reflection during drug rehab via breathing exercises, stretching, and a progression of specific postures.

Music Room

Music can be extremely therapeutic, serving as a valuable healing tool and an integrative feature of a holistic treatment plan. A music room offers a large number of outlets, including singing, playing musical instruments, and listening to music.

Adventure Therapy

Hiking is a great way to relieve stress, get perspective, navigate challenges, connect with nature, and improve your health - all essential components of sustaining long-term recovery. Studies also show that the body releases endorphins during physical activities like hiking. These endorphins improve mood and act as a natural pain reliever.

Private Rooms

In order to maintain a sense of autonomy, many private rehab facilities offer clients the ability to choose their own private rooms. The privacy and personal space ensure that the recovery process is as comfortable as possible.

Day School

Addiction treatment programs provide an opportunity to get your life back on track with access to school classes or college courses. Whether you want to finish your GED or go back to school to learn a new trade, facilities often enlist tutors and teachers who are certified or licensed by the state to oversee self-study or distance-learning education.

Wilderness Setting

Wilderness rehab programs offer all the benefits of a traditional drug rehab, but with the added benefits of outdoor adventure. Venture out into the forest to learn new skills, explore the beauty of nature, and relieve stress. Engaging in wilderness activities is a great way to gain self-discovery and release negative emotions.

Basketball Court

When used as part of an evidence-based treatment plan, basketball can boost physical and mental health, lead to sharper thinking, and facilitate improved self-esteem. Drug rehabs with a basketball court also place a focus on teamwork and cooperation.

Mountain Views

Rehabs that offer mountain views provide beautiful spaces for clients to explore, de-stress, and take part in outdoor or wilderness therapy programs. The mountain surroundings can be a great help to the recovery process, as sobriety may be better achieved while surrounded by a serene setting in nature.

Spa

Therapeutic relaxation in a rehab facility spa serves as a luxurious and effective component of a holistic addiction treatment plan. Spa services tend to vary, but usually include options like massage therapy, reiki therapy, and aromatherapy.
