When enrolling in a treatment program, there are various services that can help you overcome these feelings, including adventure therapy.
Contact us here today at Recovery by the Sea in Stuart, FL. We can enroll you in a treatment program that consists of adventure therapy.
Types of Adventure Therapy
Experts started using adventure therapy in the 1960s. We continue to use it today to help our clients here at Recovery By the Sea. We have found that adventure therapy helps people who are struggling with addiction find their peace and contentment. We have also found that it helps people who struggle with a mental health disorder to overcome symptoms and feel more at peace. Some activities associated with adventure therapy include the following:
- Fishing
- Yoga
- Expressive arts
- Music
Many adventure therapies have one thing in common – they offer an element of risk. Sometimes this risk is an actual one and other times it is a perceived risk (such as with creating art). During an adventure therapy session, one of our team members will guide you through a trust-building exercise. They will help you to start feeling more comfortable working with others. It is important for you to step outside your comfort zone. Learning how to do all these things is essential in recovery.
