Indoor Experiential Learning Activities
The use of experiential learning activities is part of the difference in the Cirque Lodge approach to treating alcohol and drug addiction. This is the use of activities where the individual learns to accomplish tasks and develop coping strategies for recovery. At our Studio facility, a 17,000 sq. foot sound stage is used to host a number of these types of activities. They help to enhance the experiences of alcohol rehab and drug rehab. The exercise can help individuals discover who they are, as well as teach them needed lessons on addiction and coping.
The sound stage is home to our ropes course. It is made up of two large multi-storied tripods. Attached to these tripods is a number of climbing challenges and elements. This can help recovering alcoholics and addicts to tackle fears they have in their life, as well as learn lessons on asking for help. All the while, help and support is provided from an experienced staff and fellow Cirque Lodge residents. A number of different challenges are offered during alcohol rehab and drug rehab.
Not all the ropes course activities involve climbing high up in the air. A number of low ropes elements and team challenges are also used in our experiential program. These events present challenges that require the individual to escape their addictive mindset to complete the tasks. They teach skills in leadership and communication. They help individuals to see the importance in building and establishing trust. Overcoming alcohol or drug addiction can be extremely challenging without help. Our experiential program helps to make alcohol and drug rehab a fun and lasting experience.
