Exclusionary Criteria
Wilderness therapy is often recognized as one of the most effective treatment modalities for adolescent issues; however, certain diagnoses and characteristics present challenges. Our exclusionary criteria are designed to ensure that each student receives effective treatment, without compromising safety or efficacy.
We do not treat current untreated sex offenders, severe eating disorders that require hospitalization, students with a history of significant aggressive or assaultive behavior outside the home, certain severe clinical diagnoses (e.g., active psychosis, extreme conduct disorder), certain severe health conditions and very low cognitive function. For more information on the exclusionary criteria, please contact our admissions team: 970-758-8324.
