Wilderness Therapy is Clinically Proven to be Effective in Treating Serious Mental Health Issues

Among the most imminent threats to our nation’s youth has to do with mental health-related issues. Teenage girls from Veneta, OR and beyond are more depressed, drug-addicted, and in need of therapeutic intervention more than ever. 

For instance, recent poll research shows that 20% of teenage girls (including those from Veneta, OR live with depression or anxiety - in many cases, a combination of the two. What compounds these issues even further is the high risk of suicide, which is currently the third-leading cause of death among teenage girls. 

All that said, parents from Veneta, OR and all other parts of the nation are increasingly looking for cutting-edge, and most importantly, effective therapeutic intervention treatments for their daughter. Among the most promising and scientifically proven are wilderness therapy programs. What’s more, wilderness therapy programs are known to treat “treatment-resistant” mental and behavioral issues, which makes them even more effective, even more so than traditional, indoor facilities. 

Why Outdoor-based Treatment Programs are More Successful Than Indoor Programs

Outdoor programs have been scientifically proven to better suit and treat mental health-related issues than indoor programs. Research on the topic shows that it is wilderness-based programs’ ability to include experiential-based therapies in a natural healing environment. For one small example, hiking (which is obviously an outdoor activity) is clinically substantiated to reduce negative thinking patterns and other harmful mind-based activities known as rumination. 

Studies have also shown that when immersed in nature, a teenage girl's brains improve her neuroplasticity, causing them to become increasingly open to receiving therapy.

What Kinds of Issues do Wilderness Therapy Programs Treat?

  • self-harm
  • depression
  • anxiety
  • anorexia
  • bulimia
  • PTSD
  • defiance towards authority
  • antisocial behaviors
  • adoption-related such problems as Reactive Attachment Disorder

Wilderness Therapy is Clinically Proven to be Effective in Treating Serious Mental Health Issues

There is no more significant threat to our nation's youth (including teenage girls from Veneta, OR) than mental health-related issues in today's America. Recent polls show that one out of five teens lives with depression, anxiety, or a mixture of the two.

These epidemic-like numbers are even more concerning because suicide is currently the third-leading cause of death among teenagers.

Luckily for parents of depressed teenage girls from the Veneta, OR area, wilderness therapy is a research-supported treatment provenly effective in treating depression, anxiety, and stress - more so than more traditional, indoor-based facilities.

As for why outdoor-based treatment programs are better suited to treat mental health-related issues than indoor programs, research says it combines several factors. For example, hiking (an obviously significant part of outdoor-based therapy) is clinically proven to reduce negative thinking patterns and harmful brain activity, known as rumination.

Studies have also shown that when immersed in nature, a teenage girl's brain improve her neuroplasticity, causing them to become increasingly open to receiving therapy.

Navigating the challenging environment of the wilderness also helps form bonds between teens and clinical staff. This organic relational development builds long-lasting trust between teen and their therapist. Developing and building upon the trust between camper and caregiver is crucial in a mentally ill teenage girl's willingness, ability, and overall likelihood of effectively treating their underlying mental health-related issues.

11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. - Ephesians 4:11–16

“But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion, and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him. On the next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper and said, ‘Take care of him; and whatever more you spend, when I return I will repay you.' Which of these three do you think proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell into the robbers' hands?” And he said, “The one who showed mercy toward him.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go and do the same.” Luke 10: 33-37
