Wilderness Quest treatment programs for adolescents and young adults achieve changes in self-concept, self-responsibility, maturity and behavior through combined intensive wilderness living and strong facilitated self-discovery. Self-Responsibility and maturity are gained by successful experiences of self-responsibility and “real life” opportunities to give of one’s self for the good of the group - experiences that arise naturally in a facilitated wilderness living experience.
