Low Ropes Course

Adventure therapy embraces the natural environment to help individuals address and improve their mental health. It’s an effective means of learning to cope with and overcome cognitive, behavioral, social, and affective disorders. Goal setting, decision making, and accountability all spring from participating in an adventure therapy program at Integrative Life Center. But perhaps most importantly, adventure therapy allows clients to set and achieve goals that enhance and encourage positive behaviors. At ILC, we use our unique Low Ropes Course in our adventure therapy program. It is located on-site at the expansive property for our Morningstar program.

In adventure therapy, clients do more than merely get exercise or have a moment of recreation. Although, this certainly does happen. But more importantly, the shared experience of making it through our low ropes course fosters growth. Achievement, goal setting, and interpersonal improvement all come from the process making it an extremely useful method of treatment. For clients who respond best to activity, to physical challenges and obstacles that can stand in for their therapeutic issues, our adventure therapy program may be quite useful. Even for individuals more used to less dynamic treatments and therapy, our low ropes course may just be the change necessary to make a breakthrough.

Whether a client is working through recovery for substance use disorder or improving their mental health, this method can be very effective.
