Wilderness Therapy Programs for Troubled Teens from Georgia
Georgia students who attend BlueFire Wilderness receive a custom-made treatment plan for their individual needs. BlueFire Wilderness therapy programs don’t focus on the surface problems. What makes our program unique is our effort to find the root cause of each individual child’s challenges. 
BlueFire Wilderness is located in Idaho, not Georgia. Although some parents may be hesitant to send their child away from home, distance allows for the removal of your teen from the environment which may have influenced their destructive behavioral or emotional patterns in the past.
Every child is different, from their struggles to the environment they come from. The therapeutic approach one troubled teen will need can be completely different from what another needs. Due to this, BlueFire applies a strong emphasis on working with families to identify the best treatment plan for their child.
BlueFire’s wilderness therapy programs offer teens a small group approach, allowing them to develop stronger relationships with staff and peers. These relationships offer a more positive journey towards success than those they had at home. During their time surrounded by nature, adolescents will experience a fun, yet challenging environment that teaches them how to face challenges on their own. Through these experiences, teens learn how to be responsible for themselves, their behaviors, and learn respect.

Finding Help with Wilderness Therapy Programs for Troubled Georgia Teens
Wilderness Therapy programs for troubled teens from Georgia combine the use of nature with traditional therapeutic approaches. Therapies such as Equine therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy are just a few of the techniques BlueFire Wilderness uses to help Georgia teens ages 11 to 17. Through these methods, teens and families rebuild their relationships, gain self-confidence, and develop coping skills to help them handle personal issues after transitioning out of the program. 
BlueFire Wilderness Therapy is not located in Georgia, however, we help teens from all over the country achieve success.
It is not uncommon for teens to have difficulty initially adjusting to a lifestyle away from home and the removal of their current peers and habits. Teens learn to adjust and develop healthier lifestyles through supportive peer groups and staff, adventure experiences, and inspiring natural surroundings.
Many teens from Georgia build lifelong friendships from the bond they develop with their peer groups. By sharing their struggles with emotional and behavioral problems, students learn to reconnect with themselves, others, and their surroundings.
BlueFire Wilderness offers a variety of different adventure activities to students. Some of the adventure therapy activities Georgia students can expect are:
- Biking
- Horseback Riding
- Rock Climbing
- Hiking
- Camping
- Kayaking
