RedCliff Ascent is the leading provider of wilderness therapy, providing effective treatment for struggling teens between the ages of 13 and 17. RedCliff Ascent offers a secure, nurturing, and supportive environment that equips teenagers with the necessary skills to deal with their challenges in a healthy and age-appropriate manner.

When adolescents are facing challenges at home, school, or in their social circles, wilderness therapy presents a novel and stimulating environment that disrupts unhealthy patterns that cause dysfunction. By using wilderness therapy, families gain a deeper understanding of the issues at hand and help teenagers re-engage in healthy development.

RedCliff Ascent's approach is integrated, with individual assessment and treatment plans that focus on the entire person. They offer evidence-based clinical interventions that are culturally sensitive and progress monitoring to achieve treatment goals for the whole family.

Their well-trained staff builds strong healing relationships, modeling compassionate behavior while teaching teenagers how to thrive in nature and in their relationships with others. As pioneers in wilderness therapy, RedCliff Ascent was one of the first programs to pursue research and receive accreditation from the Joint Commission for the highest quality of clinical and medical practices.

RedCliff Ascent's commitment to scientific research has resulted in a treatment program that is scientifically backed and effective, accomplishing its mission for over 30 years.

Take the first step towards healing. Contact RedCliff Ascent today to learn more about how their pioneering wilderness therapy program can help your teenager grow and thrive.
