After The Program
Many teens in wilderness programs report the experience as being positive, beneficial, and enjoyable. They learn independence, patience, assertiveness, self-reliance, and maturity; although it is unclear how long these changes last. Outcome studies have been completed that show continued improvement in behavior one year after attending wilderness therapy and new outcome studies are currently underway.
After a wilderness therapy program, students may return home or may be recommended for a therapeutic boarding school, Young Adult Program or an intensive residential treatment center.
