Outward Bound
Outward Bound has offered challenging wilderness programs for over 40 years. While it does not have a structured recovery program, the focus on developing skills and personal growth in areas of self-reliance, responsibility, teamwork, leadership, confidence, and self-knowledge can have a positive effect on long term recovery.
Cost: $246 per day. Varies with course length.
