BlueFire Wilderness Therapy
Opens September 8th

We are extremely excited to announce the grand opening of Blue Fire Wilderness Therapy in south-central Idaho!

BlueFire offers teens ages 13-17 a once-in-a-lifetime experience of self-discovery and recovery. We are fully licensed by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, with a staff comprised of industry veterans with decades of successful experience working with families.

And while we have incorporated everything we've learned in our work over the past 30-plus years, we've also created something very unique. We provide teens with more therapy than many other programs, as our therapists are "on the ground" with clients four days per week. We offer individual therapy two times per week, and group therapy four times per week. We utilize the latest technology to offer video journaling and video conferencing of family sessions. We employ evidence-based measurement tools during the enrollment process to assist the therapist and the client in the creation of treatment plans and track progress at program completion.

"We are so pleased to finally announce our opening and excited to welcome teens and families to this very special program," says Reid Treadaway, Admissions Director. "We are, at our core, an adventure therapy program with a family-centered approach, and we are confident that this combination will help reconnect families."

Adventure therapy is an integral part of BlueFire, allowing exploration of personal growth through a variety of new experiences such as rock climbing, kayaking, cross country skiing and today's highly popular paddle boarding. In addition, weekly equine therapy helps students develop healthy relationships and communication skills. It's all about taking chances, trying something new, facing fears and exploring life, opportunities that serve to amplify the tried and true methods of traditional wilderness therapy.

"These activities help relieve anxiety, help students process success and failure, and develop skills that translate into their everyday lives, building self-worth, self-esteem and a meaningful sense of accomplishment," said Reid.

BlueFire's family systems model of treatment includes the whole family to ensure that when the child transitions and ultimately returns home, the systems are going to be in place for the child to be successful.
BlueFire has coined the fire-building strategy phrase of "gather, build, ignite" to represent what we do, that is, helping teens gather resources to begin their journey of self-discovery, build skills throughout the experience, and ignite confidence and success for real, lasting results.

Ignite the spark in your child or client by calling us at 844-413-1999. Or email Reid at reid@bluefirewilderness.com.

BlueFire offers teens ages 13-17 the experience of self-discovery and recovery with adventure therapy and whole family therapy.
