About New Vision Wilderness Medford Wisconsin
Located in Wisconsin's picturesque Northwoods, New Vision Wilderness offers an innovative 80-day outdoor behavioral health program for adolescents and teens affected by trauma, ADHD, anxiety, and depression. This trauma-responsive therapy program uniquely combines wilderness experiences with clinical treatment and canine therapy to foster healing and growth. Students live in private tents and follow a nomadic lifestyle, changing camp locations weekly while participating in activities such as backpacking, mountaineering, white water rafting, and seasonal options like winter dog sledding. Treatment groups are gender-specific with a maximum of eight participants, ensuring personalized attention within a supportive community. A distinguishing feature of New Vision is its integration of canine therapy, where therapy dogs live alongside teens throughout their recovery journey. The program's clinical approach focuses on addressing attachment and adoption challenges, developmental trauma, and emotional regulation through specialized modalities including brainspotting therapy. Licensed therapists conduct multiple individual and group sessions twice weekly, with significant family involvement integrated into the treatment process. Academic continuity is maintained through Cognia-accredited coursework that blends seamlessly with therapeutic activities, allowing students to earn credits while healing. Rather than interrupting group experiences for traditional classroom time, New Vision weaves educational components into daily experiences, with opportunities for independent reflection that complement the therapeutic process.
