Your Journey to Sustained Recovery

Four Circles Recovery Center is an innovative wilderness-based treatment program for young adults ages 18-28 who are struggling with addiction, substance abuse, and co-occurring emotional or behavioral issues. Blending the best of all avenues of substance abuse treatment, Four Circles harnesses the power of the wilderness to change lives, while integrating proven, time-tested traditional approaches like individual and group counseling, the 12-step philosophy, and a range of cutting-edge clinical services. This winning combination of treatment services has proven time and again to yield lasting change and a strong foundation for sustained recovery.

The Four Circles experience begins with a program orientation – a time when we can begin to stabilize, assess, and provide the essential structure for the start of your journey to sustained recovery. Once this foundation has been established, you will prepare to embark on a series of wilderness expeditions.

During your wilderness expeditions you will hike through the majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, and live in a place where the sky is your ceiling and the four walls are North, South, East, and West. Here, you'll begin the internal journey to your authentic self, and will discover powerful tools and strategies for long-term success along the way.

In between wilderness expeditions, you will participate in our base camp program, which gives you the opportunity to shower, wash your clothes, participate in outside N.A./A.A. meetings, participate in family counseling by phone, attend appointments, and participate in discharge and after-care planning.

Toward the end of your stay at Four Circles Recovery Center, you will have the unique opportunity to participate in a one-week, healing rite of passage ceremony. During this time you will be guided through a sweat lodge and other ceremonies including a "solo" experience, all geared toward preparing you to step out of the past and into your future as an adult.

At the end of your journey, you will transition back to the treatment center to focus on detailed and extensive aftercare planning. At this point, you will develop a relapse prevention plan and create a support system that will help you sustain the progress you have made.

We use a variety of clinical approaches, which allows us to meet your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual needs while helping you build a strong foundation for recovery. Our approach includes individualized treatment planning, individual and group therapy, AA/NA meetings, art therapy, martial arts practice, life skills training, psycho-educational skills training, family therapy, 12 step meetings, meditation, cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, experiential education, motivational enhancement therapy, career/vocational/psychological testing, gender specific treatment, and solution-focused therapy.

Four Circles therapists are licensed master’s or doctoral level clinicians who have extensive training and experience dealing with addiction and co-occurring emotional and behavioral issues. Our committed professionals recognize that substance abuse is often accompanied by both dual-diagnosis issues and underlying emotional challenges that must be addressed to ensure lasting recovery.

The wilderness environment serves as a dramatic backdrop for your recovery program. The reality and natural consequences of nature give you immediate feedback. By stepping out of your comfort zone and handling the challenges of the outdoors, you can confront limited beliefs and long-standing emotional patterns in a real and active way.

The wilderness environment also serves as a metaphor for the challenges of the world around you, and helps you transfer the knowledge you gain during your journey back into your own home environment. Participating in the natural world gives you a sense of belonging, and an opportunity to experience authentic, intimate relationships that meet on the grounds of shared pain, shared joy, and the journey of recovery. Your self-limiting beliefs are challenged by the guided accomplishments of mastering the physical and relational skills of living outdoors with a small group of fellow journeyers.
