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 NSR of Asheville, 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 men who are seeking long-term recovery find joy along that journey.,
Finding the Fun in Sobriety with Outdoor Adventure Therapy
Addiction recovery doesn’t happen on accident.
NSR of Asheville bridges the gap between inpatient treatment and sustainable sobriety.
Adventure therapy helps make the aftermath of addiction feel less brutal. This fills those striving for recovery 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 NSR of Asheville today!

Intensive Outpatient Program
Next Step Recovery provides our intensive outpatient program helping those striving for recovery 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 Recovery offers IOP for both our residents and The Greater Asheville Area.
The main goal of our program is to help young men transcend their addictions and create fulfilling lives.
Compassionate, Clinical Care
NSR of Asheville 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
NSR of Asheville adventure therapy helps men recovering from addiction 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.
