Question by Tom T: Is there an addiction treatment that uses the outdoors as a form of therapy?
I am interested in experiential education, and I am currently finishing up my BA in Social Work here in Toronto and I was wondering if there was a model that uses the outdoors as a form of treatment for addicts, whether it’s for alcoholism or drug use. When I graduate I want to combine the outdoors with traditional practice. IE. canoe trips that focus on team building, practical skills, and allow time for reflection. Anyways, I want to do some research and write my final paper on this holistic approach, but I was wondering if anyone knew the name of a specific model that uses these kinds of methods. Thanks!

I am Native American, and there is programs, treatment, that uses the outdoors through out the summer. I don’t know when you are planning to do your treatment. If your native, and in Toronto, there is a place on Queen /street called Aboriginal Health, check it out. They are lyable to help answer some of questions and point in the right direction. good luck on your paper and research.
