Outward Bound Program Alternative:
Wilderness Treatment

The main differences between Outward Bound and RedCliff's Wilderness Therapy program are the level of therapeutic intervention, the structure of the curriculum and the length of stay. An Outward Bound program is a great opportunity for adolescents and adults that do not require therapeutic intervention. Outward Bound has some great skill building as well as team building courses. Many choose summertime to attend outward bound. School is out and teens have the time to attend. RedCliff is equipped with psychologists and licensed therapists with the ability to provide diagnosis of problems and an appropriate treatment plan for teens diagnosed with behavioral disorders, substance abuse disorders, mood disorders etc. RedCliff combines traditional therapy and a powerful wilderness curriculum to identify treatment needs and assist the student in stopping the self-destructive behavior. Outward Bound programs are not equipped for this level of clinical intervention but remain a wonderful option for early intervention. We highly recommend an Outward Bound program for those students who would embrace the adventure. Outward Bound is a great experience for adults as well as teens.
