This place changed and saved my life. They are the most caring, supportive, friendly and loving people willing to do anything to help you get better. I made a lot of friends that I will forever be in contact with. I also built real relationships with every staff member. I miss every client and every staff member I met at SVR. This place makes you feel like your home and you feel 100% safe and comfortable. Couldn’t be more blessed for better help and I will forever be in debt with them.

SVR was an amazing experience for me, and it came at just the right time. I desperately needed help, a change of life circumstances, and a tough yet truthful wake-up call to the reality of my addiction. Silicon Valley Recovery provided me just that; it fostered a supportive recovery community for myself and the other clients, welcomed all experiences and perspectives from diverse backgrounds, encouraged sobriety through a faith-driven approach, and built for me a strong foundation in my recovery. I am grateful for each and every person involved in SVR and will forever feel indebted to this institution for its dedication to helping me advance in my new life chapter.

This rehab center truly changed my life. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed, respected, and supported by every member of the staff. The counselors were compassionate, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about my recovery, while the therapists gave me the tools and confidence I needed to build a healthier future. The program was well organized, and the sense of community made a huge difference. I met incredible people who understood what I was going through, and the supportive environment helped me stay motivated every step of the way.

SVR is a wonderful facility that caters to each client’s individual needs and goals for recovery and mental health! It is recovery that feels like home. I know many people that have gone through this program and come back stronger and happier than ever before. From the friendly staff and community events to the home cooked meals, this is truly a one-of-a-kind place that cares about the overall success of each client. The CEO is very hands-on in the program, and all staff is approachable, relatable and empathetic. To anyone seeking enrichment in their life for substance and mental health treatment, let this be your first choice in getting the help you need.

My experience at Silicon Valley Recovery was outstanding. The chef-prepared meals were excellent and made my stay much more comfortable. The IMS medical staff were knowledgeable, compassionate, and always available when I needed support. The staff and counselors genuinely cared about my recovery and provided guidance every step of the way. I especially enjoyed the weekend outings and activities, which helped create a positive and supportive environment. The family sessions were extremely helpful in rebuilding communication and strengthening relationships with my loved ones. I also appreciated the thoughtful recommendations they provided for PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program) care and how they helped connect me with a good placement that fit my individual needs after treatment. I highly recommend Silicon Valley Recovery to anyone looking for quality care, professional support, and a team that is truly invested in long-term recovery.

SVR was an amazing experience. It came highly recommended and i was taken well care of. Detox was painless and the nurses were very attentive. The staff and programming was fun and engaging. I especially liked the pottery and candle making activities that allowed me to give my kids a handmade gift on visitation Sundays. They also laughed at all my stupid jokes and put up with all of my shenanigans (Hi Thomas). My biggest complaint is all the gourmet meals and a full snack kitchen. I can no longer fit into my boxer briefs. They did bought me socks when i forgot them. Thank you SVR for making my recovery smooth and pleasant. Big kudos for going above and beyond accommodating my visual handicap and taking me to the hospital when my diverticulitis had complications. -Joe F

Adventure Therapy Programs
and Addiction Treatment

Adventure Therapy forces you to forget about the turmoil of life and focus on overcoming the obstacle ahead of you. It’s a helpful metaphor for people who are in recovery from addiction and shows them that they have the ability to overcome difficult challenges they face. This therapy aims to help patients connect the challenges they face during their adventures with their current challenges in life in general. By doing this, they gain the confidence needed to overcome obstacles. Therapists also collaborate by providing support on everything from decision-making processes to viewing these activities as a form of relapse prevention. Silicon Valley Recovery’s professionally designed programs balance physical recovery and mental health with access to resources that help people confront their behaviors without being harshly judged or mistreated. The skills learned through the adventure therapy programs at Silicon Valley Recovery will prepare you for a healthy lifestyle outside the program and equip you with the tools needed to handle cravings and minimize the chance of relapsing.

Beach & Nature Outings

There is something special about nature that can help heal the mind, body, and soul. That’s why our programs are mindful to include nature outings in serene outdoor settings, which we’ve found to be therapeutic to those seeking recovery from addiction. Silicon Valley Recovery takes full advantage of our beautiful California location by taking our residents on nature outings and beach trips as part of our adventure therapy options. Adventure therapy can be a helpful part of treatment, our beach trips and nature outings offer a variety of benefits to aid in our client’s healing journey.

Being in nature can help to reduce stress and anxiety, boost mood, and increase feelings of well-being. Nature outings can also provide opportunities to incorporate exercise, social interaction, and creative expression into a treatment program. We find that our outings help to promote a sense of connection to something larger than oneself, and many of our alumni have said our adventure therapy outings were their favorite part of their treatment program.

FAQs

What is adventure-based therapy?

Adventure-based therapy is a therapeutic approach that uses outdoor activities and experiential learning to promote personal growth, self-discovery, and emotional healing. It involves engaging in challenging physical activities, often in a group setting, to build trust, improve communication, and develop problem-solving skills. This therapy aims to enhance self-esteem, resilience, and interpersonal relationships.

How much does adventure therapy cost?

The cost of adventure therapy can vary widely depending on factors such as location, duration, and the specific program or provider. On average, prices can range from $100 to $300 per session. Some programs may offer package deals or sliding scale fees based on income. It’s important to contact providers directly for the most accurate and up-to-date pricing information.

What is the difference between adventure therapy and wilderness therapy?

Adventure therapy involves structured activities that promote personal growth and healing, often in various settings. Wilderness therapy, a subset of adventure therapy, specifically uses natural environments to facilitate therapeutic outcomes.

It’s important to check with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage options. You may need to provide documentation or a referral from a healthcare professional to support the claim. Always verify with your insurer for the most accurate information.

How do I become a wilderness therapist?

To become a wilderness therapist, obtain a relevant degree in psychology, counseling, or social work. Gain experience in outdoor leadership and therapeutic settings. Pursue certifications in wilderness first aid and therapy-specific training. Apply for positions in wilderness therapy programs, emphasizing your skills in both mental health and outdoor environments.

How long do people stay in wilderness therapy?
