They also incorporate group therapy,12-Step meetings, psychoeducation groups, and exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) Therapy. Another aspect of Spruce Mountain’s treatment involves a career support program, in which clients are placed in a local internship and life skills training groups. Through this track, clients form career objects, gain relevant skills, and accumulate relevant job experience. Additionally, in order to promote independent living, clients can receive educational support. Spruce Mountain Inn’s career and education coordinator works with clients to online coursework or classes at a local university to further their education goals during treatment. At Spruce Mountain, clients can enjoy a variety of experiential and expressive therapies with a focus on adventure, art, movement, and music outings. Some of their off-site activities involve local trips such as art and music events, museums, movies, thrift shopping, and beach days. Additionally, their adventure group will take hiking trips, go rock climbing, skiing, and canoeing. Their movement group provides organized sports and games such as volleyball, basketball, tennis, frisbee, and gym workouts.
