Adventure Therapy

Adventure is something that brings you excitement and fun. Sometimes, it can be dangerous. However, there are many ways to have an adventure safely. Here at Harmony Recovery and Wellness in Stuart, FL, we offer our clients adventure therapy services.

Adventure therapy is a type of mental health service that uses natural environments to help people cope with and overcome social, cognitive, affective and behavioral disorders. This includes addictions, as well. If you have one or more of these disorders or addictions, contact our team today to get started in a treatment program that includes adventure therapy.
