Description of Program:
The wilderness provides powerful elements of consequence, containment and motivation. Clinical expertise and a strong therapy focus provide opportunities to assess and intervene in the lives of adolescents experiencing problems ranging from a lack of motivation and depression to oppositional behaviors and substance abuse. Second Nature emphasizes assessment and intervention, with attention to behavioral stability, student accountability and preparation for long-term stability and treatment. Wilderness interventions have been shown to be highly effective in gaining the attention of adolescents. Second Nature has taken the next step in creating the most effective behavioral interventions with more sophisticated clinical therapies.
Second Nature has arguably the most capable treatment team working in the wilderness therapy industry today. Its owners serve full-time roles as clinicians in the field. This treatment team, which meets together every week, includes the following range of professional experiences:
Ph.D. level training
Experience building 2 wilderness therapy programs from the ground up
10 years experience in the adolescent treatment industry
Experience in both wilderness and residential settings (for added continuity of care)
Experienced as full-time field instructor
Second Nature has been a pioneer in wilderness treatment by providing more individualized treatment planning and consequently creating flexible lengths of stay based upon treatment need and related family circumstances. The entry-level length of stay is 3 weeks, while the average length of stay is between 6-8 weeks. Maximum lengths of stay can be as long as 12-14 weeks (in extenuating circumstances).
