Battling the "Revolving Door" of Recovery
By Stephen C. Schultz
Her steps were slow and steady. The red rocks
below her feet and the azure blue sky overhead created a remarkably beautiful
scene. She had a sense of peacefulness and a calm demeanor she had never felt
before. This was an adventure she previously would not have appreciated were it
not for her family recommending she get some help one more time.
It's hard to believe it has only been three
weeks. Usually she didn't like the wide open spaces. She craved the flurry of crowded parties, the nightlife of clubs and the excitement that social media afforded her. She was like a cat chasing its tail, always searching for
the next thrilling experience, but never finding it. She found herself in more
and more compromising positions and taking unnecessary risks. The feelings of
embarrassment had long ago subsided and she numbly accepted each new day.
Her family was concerned. There were regular fights and hurt feelings. They painfully
witnessed the twinkle in her eyes fade and a sad hollowness consume her. It was
time to intervene yet again...and they were pleased that she lowered her guard just enough
to agree.
RedCliff Recovery is an adventure based Outdoor Behavioral Healthcare program. It is specifically
designed by women for women who are seeking active recovery from substance use
disorder and other co-occurring issues.
Participants use the wilderness as a way to disrupt the compulsive patterns of unhealthy thought and behavior. In the wilderness environment, our clients are able to focus on recovery and start repairing the relationships they have harmed with their friends, their family and above all, themselves. Living day to day in the back country allows each individual to detoxify both physically and emotionally. They are actively involved in an individual treatment plan that may include; mindfulness, narrative family therapy, the 12-steps, personal reflection, adventure based activities and the exploration of spirituality. A clean diet and regular exercise also contribute to a more healthy therapeutic process.
