Adventure therapy is a form of psychotherapy that combines nature, community, and fun experiences. Its goal is to improve your emotional, physical, spiritual, and psychological well-being through adventurous yet safe outings, so you can feel more empowered to take on substance addiction. When handled by recovery professionals like ours at SOBA New Jersey, adventure therapy has shown to be especially effective at producing positive results in young adult treatment.

Our Adventure Therapy Programs

What Fun in Recovery Looks Like

We offer at least two organized activities a week as part of our adventure therapy programs. All adventure therapy activities are safe, engaging, and culturally enriching, and most are physically active. Most importantly, they are fun and can help you reconnect with a sense of joy associated with adventure and a feeling of strength that comes with accomplishing new things. Through this part of our program, bonds of teamwork and camaraderie are formed, reinforcing the importance of friendship and community while recovering from addiction.

Adventure therapy activities often used at SOBA New Jersey include:

Is Adventure Therapy Safe?

Dedicated & Supportive Therapies

At SOBA New Jersey, your safety and health are our top priorities. No matter how adventurous a session of adventure therapy might be, we always make sure it is entirely safe for everyone involved. After all, people come to our substance addiction center to feel better in body, mind, and spirit.

Ways that we make sure adventure therapy sessions are safe include:

Qualified Staff: We train our staff members to be highly qualified for adventure therapy outings and activities. When an adventure therapy session involves an activity away from our addiction recovery center, such as riding horses, we only work with experts in their fields who are also dedicated to safety as the top priority.
Risk Assessment: Not every adventure therapy activity is right for every person in our recovery center. Before recommending an adventure therapy session to you, we will assess any risks that the activity could pose to you in particular. For example, we know that someone with a fear of heights would likely not enjoy an outing at a theme park with rollercoasters.
Safety Equipment: Of course, we check that all necessary safety equipment is provided for any adventure therapy session, such as helmets, harnesses, and life jackets. We are fully committed to always meeting all safety requirements and protocols.

Is Adventure Therapy Effective?

The Benefits of Adventure Therapy in NJ at SOBA

Fighting addiction can be challenging, and it sometimes requires the toughest resolve. However, that doesn’t mean that addiction recovery has to be all about hard work and tough choices. Adventure therapy uses a fun-centered approach that has shown to be highly effective in many people, especially those who do not respond well to strictly structured recovery programs.

Adventure therapy can be effective in helping people fight substance addiction for several reasons:

Holistic Approach

Adventure therapy focuses on the whole person, addressing not only the physical aspects of addiction but also the emotional, mental, and social factors that contribute to it. This comprehensive approach helps people develop a more balanced and healthier lifestyle.

Increased Self-Awareness

Participating in adventure therapy activities allows people to confront their fears, limitations, and strengths. As they overcome challenges, they gain a better understanding of themselves, which can lead to increased self-awareness and self-esteem, both crucial for overcoming addiction.

Development of Coping Skills

Adventure therapy helps people develop healthy coping mechanisms and problem-solving skills. By facing challenges in a controlled environment, they can learn how to manage stress, adapt to change, and overcome unexpected difficulties.

Building Trust & Support

Adventure therapy often involves group activities, which foster a sense of camaraderie and support among participants. By working together to overcome challenges, it’s possible to build trust and form lasting connections with peers who share similar experiences, creating a powerful support network for recovery.

Nature's Healing Power

For many people, spending time in nature has been shown to have numerous physical and mental health benefits. Exposure to natural environments can reduce stress, increase feelings of well-being, and promote a sense of inner peace.
