Question by Tom T: Is there an addiction treatment that uses the outdoors as a form of therapy?
I am interested in experiential education, and I am currently finishing up my BA in Social Work here in Toronto and I was wondering if there was a model that uses the outdoors as a form of treatment for addicts, whether it’s for alcoholism or drug use. When I graduate I want to combine the outdoors with traditional practice. IE. canoe trips that focus on team building, practical skills, and allow time for reflection. Anyways, I want to do some research and write my final paper on this holistic approach, but I was wondering if anyone knew the name of a specific model that uses these kinds of methods. Thanks!

Answer by Kathleen I am Native American, and there is programs, treatment, that uses the outdoors through out the summer. I don’t know when you are planning to do your treatment. If your native, and in Toronto, there is a place on Queen /street called Aboriginal Health, check it out. They are lyable to help answer some of questions and point in the right direction. good luck on your paper and research.
I am Native American and there is a treatment centre that does use the outdoors for treatment. In Toronto, there is a place called Aboriginal Health on Queen st. East. I don’t know if your native or not, but that would be a great place to check out for some information that you may need. Good luck.

Question by Ernie: Amino Acid Therapy for alcoholism or substance abuse issues?
Does anyone have any experience with this newer treatment. It is based on replenishing lacking brain chemicals which are causing a “reward deficiency” . The Amino acids are given either through IV or orally. Is this medically accepted? More importantly does it work to prevent relapses? Thanks!

Answer by metcalfmaintenance1 I’ve never heard of it but I’ve been in recovery for six years and ironically chose to go the fitness route. I’ve used amino acids for protein synthesis. If a by product is relapse prevention I would be amazed. The best way to stay sober/clean is not to take that first drink/drug. Find a support group , a sponsor , and a good 12 step program.
