Ropes and Climbing Course in Rehab
Inside the Cirque Lodge Studio is a 17,000 foot soundstage. This massive room houses our ropes and climbing course. Two large tripods are erected several stories high and are connected with a series of climbing events and challenges. For the residents in alcohol and drug rehab, these activities are used to challenge and to teach cognitive lessons. These climbing events challenge the individual to get out of their comfort and overcome fears. These unique drug rehab activities are a part of our experiential program, which is a powerful piece to Cirque Lodge’s effectiveness.
There are a number of high rope elements and challenges. Some are individual feats and others require team work and support to accomplish. Cognitive elements are also utilized in high ropes challenges. Different areas of the ropes course are used to spark different thoughts towards recovery. The ropes course is not entirely a challenge. Some elements are also exciting and rewarding. There is a zip line that descends to the floor of the soundstage. There is also a giant swing that pendulums those in drug rehab the entire span of the room.
The ropes course is a part of our experiential program. The balance of effective addiction therapies and experiential work has provided a highly effective approach for those struggling with addictions. Each day a different experiential outing is a part of treatment. The ropes course, equine therapy, the mountain and even a private helicopter are all used in alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge. These elements can show individuals the joys recovery and be influential pieces to personal change. The ropes course offers many unique challenges and opportunities for internal reflection.
