The Journey Track at Elements is a program designed specifically for clients who are struggling to engage in the treatment process at their current treatment program. The Journey Track seeks to give clients a chance to step out of “treatment as usual” and reset their engagement in treatment.
Elements is an outdoor experiential therapy program set in the beautiful red rock desert in the winter and the high alpine wilderness in the summer with built-in adventure activities that serve to enhance and deepen a client’s experience. Journey Track clients join our Traditional Track clients to engage in the powerful individual and group therapy of living outdoors with a supportive group of peers and staff.
Elements offers a reset for clients who are seeking a path forward, aiding in two primary ways:
1) Developing adaptive coping skills that they can carry into the future which will help them live the life they desire
2) Supporting their return to the original treatment setting (Home Program) and graduating successfully
Elements will work closely with all stakeholders to support a continuation of treatment goals while providing an assessment of what the client needs to engage in treatment successfully. The therapist will be guiding the treatment plan within the Journey Track, while communicating frequently with the Home Program and all other stakeholders who can assist in the process of helping the client get the treatment that they need.
Because the Journey Track has been developed for clients who are coming from a space of support with the intention of returning to that same structure and support at the Home Program, the Journey Track has a 30-day minimum length of stay and the treatment plan will be tailored to meet the client’s needs, with the input of the client, consultant, case manager and that of the Home Program.
Many Journey clients consider their experience at Elements to have provided a true reset, empowering them to take treatment into their own hands and return to their treatment program with newfound purpose and a vision for their future.
This was what our son needed. It helped us to understand what his struggles were and to position him well to be successful in his goals going forward. Our son also genuinely felt that the program had a lot of value and thanked us several times unprompted for finding it for him. It gave him the tools to learn about himself and how to manage his struggles.

Ascend Recovery has a long history of utilizing Elements with our clients needing to experience a wilderness intervention as a means of “reset” before moving on in our program. We have seen these experiences be impactful and highly effective in helping individuals find and maintain momentum in treatment. In numerous cases it has been a key element in a client’s successful path to discovering recovery.
