Rehab and a Helicopter
Even with the winter weather, the Cirque Lodge helicopter flies on the good days. This rainbow colored helicopter is exclusively used by those here in alcohol or drug rehab. It takes them on private helicopter tours of the local mountains and ski resorts. The helicopter is a luxury flying machine and provides a fun and comfortable experience. Not all parts of alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge are intensive. Elements of our experiential program provide ways to have fun in recovery and help with spiritual experiences.
The helicopter flights are reserved for the residents who have been in the program for awhile. This piece is used in addressing the 3rd step, turning over one’s will to a higher power. A top a quiet mountain peak, is where the helicopter lands. Residents have the opportunity to do a bit of hiking, or just to find a quiet spot to do some reflection. The mountain top is virtually miles away from the struggles of everyday life. It is quiet and serene. One can make needed connections to themselves and to something greater in nature.
Once in a lifetime experiences, like the helicopter, can be used as a foundation for continuing recovery. That is why we offer such unique and memorable things here at the Cirque Lodge. We strive to make all of this a life changing experience. Former residents and Alumni can look back at their time here in the mountains as the point they turned their life around and began a new one.
