Recovery Activities on the River
Cirque Lodge is located near the Provo River. This River is renowned for its fly fishing and in the summer it is a destination for rafting. Cirque Lodge uses these activities within its experiential program. Residents of our drug rehab facilities have opportunities to do some rafting down this river. Cirque residents can also do some fishing during their addiction treatment stay. These elements can help to show the joys life. They can provide a replacement for the cravings of alcoholism or drug addiction.
Experiential work is balanced into the clinical and recovery elements of the Cirque Lodge drug rehab program. Experiential activities provide a unique way to develop skills for the recovery process. Different activities and challenges provide lessons for the body, mind and spirit. When combined with the intensive efforts of alcohol and drug rehab, experiential work is an effective avenue for recovery. It helps to make the entire experience more fun and engaging. The spiritual aspects to the experiential program at Cirque Lodge can even be life changing.
Residents also go for walks and hikes along the different river locations of the canyon. Waterfalls and beautiful natural spots are experienced. With this come lessons of recovery. These occasions are used to teach concepts from the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous and to have recovery discussions. On some occasions residents can take time along the river for meditation and reflection. For some, this can be a venue for connecting to a high power. These fun and engaging nature activities are just a part of the Cirque Lodge experience. It is combination of all these efforts that have helped many find a means to long term sobriety.
