ThreePeaks Ascent is a Joint Commission-accredited short-term residential treatment program situated in the RCA field. This unique program enables us to leverage the advantages of wilderness therapy while incorporating elements of traditional residential treatment. This new program will increase the accessibility of wilderness therapy to students and families who could not afford wilderness therapy in the past. ThreePeaks will collaborate closely with RedCliff Ascent’s wilderness therapy program, to provide a blended experience by assessing and screening students before they enter RedCliff Ascent.
ThreePeaks Ascent's students struggle with a variety of mental, behavioral, and substance abuse disorders and may have failed to thrive in previous treatment settings. We are often the last hope to the families who turn to us to help their son or daughter. Working with families in crisis can be very difficult, but nothing is more rewarding than seeing pain and suffering slowly replaced by genuine change and healing through the shared experiences provided.
Become a part of the ThreePeaks family.
