Relapse Prevention -  Help From Shadow Mountain

Relapse is more likely to occur in adolescents because of their underdeveloped sense of judgment. Even after exiting rehab, a teen can go straight back to the habit they have been unsuccessfully trying to quit. Shadow Mountain is a wilderness treatment program that specializes in relapse prevention.  The expert team of counselors and doctors teach residents the techniques to avoid being around drugs and alcohol and resist the temptation. The work of recovery doesn’t end after a rehab program is finished, the addict must utilize the things they’ve learned from Shadow Mountain in everyday life. A teen rehab is successful if it not only helps adolescents stop using drugs and alcohol, but also helps them find new coping mechanisms or a form of self-expression.  

Shadow Mountain acts as a recovery school for troubled young men. Patients learn about the causes and reasons for addiction in addition to the ways to overcome it. Trained professionals work with residents on finding new hobbies and ways to channel their energy. Developing new hobbies such as outdoor activities, arts, or music can take time but will ultimately help the addict stop depending on drugs. They have so much going on inside them and sometimes no outlet other than drugs or alcohol to throw their energy into. Showing them a different way and opening their eyes to a world that has so much more to offer than drugs and alcohol is the best way to get them off drugs and alcohol and onto a brighter future one that they can be proud of and excel at. Counselors also talk to patients about the specific reasons for their addictions and try to find a medium for each individual patient. They can also help an addict find a place to go when their addictions and cravings feel stronger.
