The River, a Venue for Drug Rehab
Alcohol and drug rehab at Cirque Lodge uses many locations to help individuals suffering with addiction. The surrounding mountains and canyons are used in providing recovery activities. The Provo River is a venue for alcohol and drug rehab activities as well. The Provo River is a famous fly fishing destination and fishing is an aspect we use in our experiential program. Not all elements of rehabilitation take place on a therapy couch. The mountains and the river provide a venue for healing and connecting to one’s higher power.
The River is used for a number of different things. Some residents are given the opportunity to learn fly fishing as an experiential activity. The Provo River is also used for rafting activities, walks and hikes, and as a quiet place for meditation and reflection. Different experiential activities give the residents of Cirque Lodge a chance to find a private place along the river banks and do some thinking. This can be place for making connections with nature and one’s higher power. The quiet serenity of the nature can speak volumes to the troubled mind. River activities can be influential in providing the spiritual experiences needed for an internal change.
