Drug Rehab, Healing and a Helicopter
At Cirque Lodge, treatment is a unique balance of traditional therapies, the 12-step program, and experiential activities. The experiential portion provides a unique element to alcohol and drug rehab. It provides a venue for applying what has been developed through other areas of treatment. It also provides a venue for getting in touch with the spiritual elements of recovery and the 12-step program. One way we do this is with the Cirque Lodge Helicopter.
We use nature and our mountain environment to our advantage. Drug rehab clients are immersed in their natural surroundings and invited to experience the healing that stems from the spirit of the mountain. With the Cirque Lodge Helicopter clients can have this experience from a completely unique vantage point. These flights are provided for clients who have been in the program long enough to work the first two steps of recovery, and are working on the third step. It is a tour of the mountains, the canyon, and some of the local sights.
The Helicopter lands on a high mountain top, only accessible by means of flight. Here drug rehab clients have a chance to go off on their own, meditate and reflect. The personal experience that is encountered is different for each individual, but can have lasting impact. On the mountain, in the quiet, one can find that connection to their higher power.
