Rooted in the belief that nature holds profound healing powers, Triple Divide Lodge presents a 90-day program that seamlessly combines residential treatment with wilderness therapy, catering exclusively to adolescent males aged 14 to 19 grappling with substance use challenges. Founded by the visionary Patrick Hawkins, a Licensed Addictions Counselor, Triple Divide Lodge was born from his personal journey of overcoming similar struggles during his high school years. Now, having led over 50 expeditions with hundreds of teens, Patrick’s expertise in experiential therapy forms the foundation of this truly unique program for boys.

Hands-On Learning: Paving the Path to Freedom

At Triple Divide Lodge, we craft a comprehensive experience that merges residential and outdoor training to empower young men in their battle against substance misuse. Laying the groundwork for lasting change, we utilize a combination of individual, group, and family therapy, followed by multi-day group excursions immersed in the wonders of nature. Through hands-on learning and skill development, our outdoor adventure programs offer adolescents a sense of liberation in their journey towards recovery.

12-Step Training: Navigating Challenges Together

The wilderness aspect of our treatment equips young men with essential life skills, teaching them the power of cooperation, mutual support, and courage in facing life’s difficulties head-on. Guided by our adept on-site counselors, we help develop constructive coping mechanisms using a trauma-informed approach. Our clients harness the abilities honed through individual sessions, outdoor activities, and 12-Step training, empowering them to navigate their emotions and actions with newfound resilience, leaving behind old patterns of behavior.
