SageWalk's licensed wilderness programs provide families with a safe and immediate intervention for youth between the ages of 13 to 17; through individualized treatment plans, open enrollment, ASAM drug and alcohol assessments, the opportunity to earn academic credit, flexible length of stay and therapeutic treatment recommendations.

Upon graduation from SageWalk, families have the option to not only transition into a therapeutic environment (such as adolescent boarding schools or residential treatment centers) but also the opportunity for students to successfully transition back into their home environment with the support of our Continued Care Program.

SageWalk Wilderness ProgramsTestimonial
As he turned 13, my son was extremely angry, on a direct path to a life of misery, completely out of control, and I wasn't too far behind. If we hadn't found SageWalk he'd be in jail, or worse by now. Is he a perfect angel now? Heck no, he's a 15 year old boy, but he came home taller, stronger, happier, confident, self-assured, and knowing he loves and needs his family more than anything - and, 2 years later, those lessons are undeniably part of his core, he handles his anger better at age 15 than his dad did at 25, I have no fears for his future, and we owe it to SageWalk. ~Portland, Oregon~
