Elements Wilderness Program provides a cost effective therapeutic wilderness treatment program that serves adolescents with a variety of problems and issues such as substance abuse, defiance, and low self-esteem. It is Elements’ goal to provide a safe, stable, and healthy 
environment for adolescents to search through their complexities and find a safer, healthier, and enriching life. Elements uses the wilderness as the integral part to awareness and change. By engaging in our wilderness therapy program, adolescents will learn how to take care of themselves, work together as a group, live outdoors, and accept challenging situations. All of these activities provide insight and growth for the adolescent. It is through these experiences that your child will work through old behavior patterns, invite uncomfortable emotions, and elicit new motivations. In conjunction with the wilderness, a licensed therapist and highly trained field mentors will support and guide your child through these experiences.
We understand sending your child away from home can be difficult in many ways. We also understand that treatment in general can be costly. However, it is equally important to give your child the treatment he/she needs. Elements believe in the quality of wilderness therapy and what it has to offer adolescents. The focus and introspection your child will do in six to eight weeks will provide an immense amount of clarity and insight to help restore your family. It is our hope and goal to make Elements an affordable option for you and your family. Elements delivers this service at half the cost of other programs with nothing compromised and even more hands on personal attention to you and your child. As you read through our website, you will find more information on your child’s experience and the admission process.
