You’re ready to get to work, and you’ve likely already explored some possible treatment options and theoretical models for developing essential skills and strategies. Our PIVOTPoint Program helps you put what you’ve learned into practice in the real world. This 6-week program for young adults is an immersive experience that includes 110 direct contact hours and plenty of adventure-based learning, including hiking, paddleboarding, mountain biking, rock climbing, and whitewater rafting. Throughout the program, we’ll help you explore your core values and understand how to live in alignment with them, so you can build a strong foundation for whatever comes next.
