Adventure Therapy: Fighting Addiction with Fun
Joy can be hard to find at the beginning of the recovery journey.
This is one of the reasons relapse is so easy. Still, “hard to find” does not mean “nonexistent.” Not only is true happiness possible post-addiction, it’s more likely.
At Next Step Recovery, we specialize in helping young men in recovery find joy in sobriety. For us, this is a crucial part of the addiction recovery process. We show our residents how to live out a healthy lifestyle by creating positive experiences without drugs or alcohol.
As we say:
“Recovery is the Real Adventure.”
Our program is designed to help addictions find joy along that journey.
Finding the Fun in Sobriety with Outdoor Adventure Therapy
Addiction recovery doesn’t happen on accident.
Next Step bridges the gap between inpatient rehab and sustainable sobriety.
Adventure therapy helps make the aftermath of addiction feel less brutal. This fills recovering addicts with hope and optimism about the future. Our residents have a chance to enjoy watersports, paintball, high ropes courses, hikes through the majestic Asheville area, and more.
We use activities like these to remind the men in our program that life is worth living—even without drugs.
Begin rediscovering life’s adventure with Next Step Recovery today!

What They Say About Us
IOP & Transitional Sober Living
Next Step Recovery focuses on life after rehab.
Our program features two major pillars:
Sober Living Program
True recovery takes time. Our long-term addiction treatment programs facilitate true healing through structure and community. We help you replace unhealthy thoughts and behaviors with new ones. Day by day, you develop habits that lead to a better, happier life.
Intensive Outpatient Program
Our intensive outpatient program helps recovering addicts continue substance abuse therapy outside of an “inpatient” environment. It is an ideal way to continue treatment while still living a normal lifestyle. Next Step offers IOP for both our residents and greater Asheville.
The main goal of our program is to help young men transcend their addictions and create fulfilling lives.
Compassionate, Clinical Care
Next Step Recovery is big on evidence and empathy.
We implement addiction therapies with evidence behind them. We facilitate change with profound empathy for our clients and residents.
Taking Full Advantage of Asheville
Rewiring the Brain for Sober Fun
Next Step adventure therapy helps recovering addicts feel the joy of life again.
Addiction wreaks havoc on the brain. One effect is that it becomes hard to find joy in the first few months of recovery. Our program combats that by putting young men in the thralls of adventure—where they can’t help but feel alive.
Some of our favorites:
- Mountain Hikes
- Rafting Adventures
- High Ropes Courses
- Paintball
Young men love and thrive in our program.
It’s more than just an “outdoor rehab.” It’s an opportunity for our young men to bond and grow. It sets the stages for healthy relationships, dealing with uncertainty, facing fears, and other important life lessons. Meanwhile, they rediscover the “natural highs” of life.
