Wilderness Treatment Center

Accepting a Life of Sobriety

Wilderness Treatment Center is the first and only addiction treatment program to incorporate a traditional 30-day inpatient treatment with a wilderness expedition for young men and male teens. Each wilderness expedition is staffed with a fully licensed addiction counselor and wilderness instructor . This combination of traditional inpatient treatment and wilderness therapy approach is extremely powerful and designed to impact these young men and teens while teaching the tools they will need to live a life of sobriety.

Admissions can happen quickly. We can admit a client the same day a family first calls.

We aim to have an easy and streamlined admissions process in your time of need. We accept admissions year round, 365 days a year, 24 hours per day.

We can recommend an adolescent transportation company or sober escort. We also provide free airport pickup.

Wilderness Treatment Center can help most addicts in need, however if we are not the right fit we have recommendations for the best and most appropriate care.

Tour the Wilderness Treatment Center Experience

Wilderness Treatment Center is located on a 4,000 acre, working cattle ranch, 25 miles west of Kalispell, MT. This ranch, the M-Lazy-V, was built in 1924 and functioned as a high end dude ranch from 1924 to 1970. The ranch was purchased in 1982 and in August of 1983, Wilderness Treatment Center admitted its first patient. Fifty percent of the original log buildings are still functioning today, giving Wilderness Treatment Center a true ranch atmosphere. The property also includes a fully functional challenge course, fishing creek, outdoor group therapy structures, frisbee golf course, miles of cross country skiing trails and access to Serenity Falls.

Many of my fondest memories of early sobriety were made during my time at WTC.

I was from Montana before I went to the WTC and I really never expected to get as much as I did out of it.

Wilderness Treatment Center was a great starting point for my sobriety. My plan was to go to treatment and

My time at WTC was nothing short of an entire life changing experience. I can’t even begin to describe how much

When I went into Wilderness Treatment Center I was just going to get the courts off of my back.

I went to WTC October 25th of 2012, ever since then my life has been completely different. They taught me a new way to live.

I came to Wilderness Treatment Center not knowing whether or not I wanted to stop using drugs and alcohol

We sent our son to the Wilderness Treatment Center at the recommendation of one of his former treatment counselors.
