Outback Therapeutic Expeditions is the industry's premier wilderness program providing a successful therapeutic experience for teens in crisis.
Outback is a licensed treatment program that creatively employs the wilderness as an alternative therapeutic environment to a traditional treatment setting, while utilizing highly sophisticated therapeutic methods. Outback is a therapeutic intervention that encourages lasting change and a new path through individualized treatment planning, individual therapy, group therapy, flexible lengths of stay, single gender groups, mid-stay parent visit, and direct communication with the student's therapist.
Outback's goal is to empower students by creating the space where they can experience the natural consequences of their own choices in a healthy, safe and structured setting. This experience allows each student to become more aware of his or her current struggles and abilities as an individual. We help students identify their patterns and take responsibility for their choices. We encourage the student to recognize the real issues within, while inviting them to choose something better. At Outback, students see the value in change for themselves. We teach effective coping skills, specific to the individual and provide the space for them to hone in these skills. Students characteristically leave Outback with a strong sense of identity, with basic and vital skills to succeed, and motivation for their futures because they know their true capability.
At Outback, our students truly get to the heart of who they are, gain valuable life skills, and learn to make healthy choices - moving forward toward long-term success.
