About Adventure Therapy
Adventure Therapy uses outdoor and experiential activities to promote personal growth, self-efficacy, and interpersonal skills in individuals recovering from addiction. At Trust SoCal, our adventure therapy program leverages the natural beauty of Southern California to engage clients in guided hiking, team-building challenges, ropes courses, and nature-based mindfulness exercises that push comfort zones and build recovery-critical life skills.
Substance use disorders erode self-confidence and the ability to navigate challenges without chemical support. Adventure Therapy directly addresses this by placing clients in controlled, challenging situations where they must draw on inner resources, communicate with peers, and solve problems in real time. The sense of accomplishment that comes from overcoming a physical or team challenge translates powerfully into recovery—clients learn that they are capable of facing difficulty and discomfort without turning to substances.
