12-steps and Experiential Activities
Cirque Lodge is founded on the 12-step program. During our resident’s stay with us, we provide treatment that helps them begin a 12-step recovery. We use experiential activities as a part of our treatment. Some of these activities are used to help with the 12-step process. Our experiential program takes advantage of our unique location. A whole new type of healing can be experienced when surrounded by nature. Our drug rehab program consists of daily experiential activities to enhance the recovery process.
Nature activities have elements of the 12-step program in mind. Sometimes a nature hike or snowshoeing will be capped off with a lesson from the Big Book. Other activities of the experiential program are used to help residents with their second and third steps. These steps involve finding a power greater than their own, and turning their addiction problem over to that power. The spirit of the mountain can be this power for a number of people. We invite residents to find that connection with their higher power in any capacity they feel comfortable with.
