About Moving Mountains Recovery
Moving Mountains Recovery blends adventure-based and holistic therapies to treat individuals struggling with addiction. They aim to help clients find new passions and bring meaning to their lives beyond substance use. They offer outpatient services ranging from 1-2 therapy sessions per week, to 9+ hours per week divided into several sessions, to daily participation for multiple hours per day. This flexible approach allows clients to receive therapy while continuing with work, school, or family responsibilities. They have treated 2,000+ clients, have 100+ years of combined experience, and maintain a 1:1 client-to-staff ratio.
Moving Mountains Recovery is committed to clinical excellence, which is why every client receives a custom treatment program designed by their clinical and medical team to meet his or her needs. The program revolves around emotionally focused therapy (EFT), which aims to bring awareness to difficult emotions, develop healthy coping strategies to manage those emotions, and improve social, familial, and intimate relationships. Clients also engage in adventure therapies, therapeutic recreation, and other hands-on activities. The goal of this type of dynamic, immersive treatment is to help clients find a new life that is so full of passion so there is no room left for drugs and alcohol. Moving Mountains also incorporates a variety of holistic treatments like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness, intended to address the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of recovery.
Moving Mountains Recovery believes in the power of adventure therapy to promote self-discipline and self-confidence through physically and mentally challenging, yet rewarding, experiences in wilderness settings. As a therapeutic approach that combines nature, community, and exercise, this therapy can help improve a client’s social, spiritual, physical, and psychological well-being. Activities often include rock climbing, hiking, kayaking, whitewater rafting, camping, skiing, fishing, snowboarding, and ropes courses. This hands-on and experiential approach to recovery can help destroy the negative mindset that many people enter treatment with. Their adventure-based challenges make anxiety and self-doubt become things of the past as clients grow, learn, and thrive in sobriety.
The recovery process doesn’t end when treatment is completed. As an alumnus of Moving Mountains Recovery, clients who complete their program are welcome to be part of the various alumni programming options they offer. This includes joining alumni events, and coming back to share their stories with individuals who are currently in the treatment programs.

Moving Mountains Recovery uses adventure therapy to help clients overcome the myriad challenges they face in early recovery. These wilderness activities promote self-discipline and self-confidence through physically and mentally challenging, yet rewarding, experiences. Group adventure therapies can help spark behavior change by making clients work as a team, communicate with team members, and place their trust in the hands of others.
The approach at Moving Mountains Recovery revolves around emotionally-focused therapy (EFT). It can help anyone who suppresses their emotions so much that it begins negatively affecting their health. All EFT sessions are led by trained mental health professionals. Their clinicians are compassionate and nonjudgmental with all clients, making everyone feel safe, comfortable, and supported. Throughout treatment, clients come to terms with suppressed emotions, address trauma and other underlying issues like unhealthy attachment or abandonment issues, and develop practical coping skills that can be incorporated into their daily lives.
Moving Mountains Recovery incorporates family behavioral therapy (FBT) to improve communication and resolve conflicts within a client’s family unit. By including the family members who are directly impacted by addiction, the client and their loved ones can understand the impact of substance use on the family dynamic and ultimately, improve their relationships. This goal-oriented approach uses specific and practical objectives in a wide range of areas, such as home safety, home beautification, employment, and more, promoting a supportive family environment.
Moving Mountains Recovery provides flexible programming hours to help accommodate busy schedules. Clients in their intensive outpatient program (IOP) will generally live at home or in a local halfway house/sober living. In the IOP, clients will receive clinical services such as group counseling, relapse prevention skills, life skills, various holistic therapies, and a weekly Adventure/Recreation therapy group. The morning IOP runs from 9 a.m. to noon. The evening IOP runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and is great for clients with work, school, or other obligations during the day.
