Legacy Outdoor Adventures is a wilderness therapy program for young adult males.  We use the power of the wilderness to support us in guiding clients on a journey of self-discovery, healthy recovery and personal growth.

The Legacy experience is designed to help each young man begin the deliberate journey to manhood by creating the structure, mentoring and inspiration to allow him to envision the man he wants to be.

We specialize in working with young adult men who:

  • Are struggling to complete the transition to adulthood

  • Are challenged by emotional and behavioral issues

  • Have substance abuse issues

  • Lack self-confidence or sense of purpose

  • Have a fear of failure

  • Have social anxiety

  • Struggle with lack of motivation

  • Or have a combination of these and other issues

Recovery

Helping Hands

At Legacy, we believe that healthy recovery goes beyond overcoming substance abuse; it is the process of envisioning and embracing a life of purpose and intention.  The wilderness experience effectively serves to move clients through the process of accepting that they have a problem with substances, acknowledging that help is available if they seek it, and cultivating a desire for sobriety.  

At Legacy:

  • Substance abuse issues and any underlying mental health issues are treated simultaneously

  • Each client works with both a Licensed Therapist and a Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor

  • Multiple research-tested treatment methods enrich a traditional 12-step foundation

  • Each client is assigned a mentor who is in recovery and modeling a healthy lifestyle
