One great feature that caught my eye was their prime location. Close enough to town but far enough from distractions you’ll benefit from a balance of accessibility and tranquility. Their serene campus boasts 15 acres of native plants and tall trees to reflect and meditate in nature. Still, you can attend daily commitments like work, school and community service nearby in downtown Port Townsend.
What stands out most to me is their signature wilderness treks. These five to ten-day outdoor adventure groups provide an incredible way to practice life and coping skills in a new environment. You’ll benefit from working together and fostering strong connections with peers. During your stay you’ll participate in at least two.
Another feature that caught my eye was their emphasis on 12 step principles. Spirituality is often a beneficial element in recovery for many. They encourage 12-Step participation in every aspect of daily life. I think is great because you’ll benefit from connecting with a higher power that can be a driving force in your recovery journey.
