Expanse Wilderness

About Expanse Wilderness – Kanab, Utah

Expanse Wilderness is an addiction and mental health treatment program in Kanab, Utah. It’s designed specifically for adolescents who are struggling to transition into adulthood. It offers a unique therapeutic model to help with issues like depression, substance abuse, identity issues, self-harming behaviors, and personal motivation issues.

The Expanse Wilderness Program starts when the young adult undergoes an evaluation with one of the team’s staff. The information learned during this evaluation will help the staff at WinGate create an individualized treatment plan. This plan will include individual therapy sessions with a licensed therapist and a weekly session with a life coach.

From there, the student might be recommended to attend group sessions, undergo trauma treatment in the form of brain spotting or attend daily staff coaching. Each student also has access to unique and interesting mindfulness activities like yoga, tai chi and meditation. These activities not only help with mental health but also physical wellness, too. Hiking is the main activity at the Expanse because the program believes it helps young adults build confidence and self-reliance. On top of all this, the program also offers an Actual Wilderness Experience.

One great thing about this program is that it eliminates all the distractions in the young adult’s life. They won’t be influenced by social media, their regular peer groups, or their families as they focus on working through their personal issues. Young adults get the opportunity to learn and practice new skills before needing to incorporate them into their daily lives.
