Any of the top outdoor therapy programs for adults from South Dakota should provide troubled adult wilderness clients with an individualized treatment plan, as well as group therapy sessions each day. One of the most notable aspects of wilderness therapeutic programs is the fact that many distractions that are recurrent in traditional therapeutic programs (e.g., mobile devices, internet) are not permitted. This means that the young adult students within the program will have far fewer distractions and, thus, will remain focused on their restoration goals and therapeutic treatments.

Additionally, outdoor activities within nature are proven to have scores of psychological and physical health benefits. Emotionally challenged emerging adults have a much greater capacity to build interpersonal relationships while being in the wilderness. This allows the young adult men and women to gain personal insight into their behavior and, therefore, being able to make changes more quickly. This is achieved by overcoming the natural obstacles that the wilderness delivers which, in turn, builds self-efficacy and improves self-esteem.

The practitioners and therapists at Expanse Wilderness reach out to struggling young adults using a proven no-resistance approach. Expanse is unique in the way it takes a humanistic approach to wilderness therapy. They challenge each adult wilderness client in subtle ways that result in them not being aware that they are being challenged.

Since emerging adults often build up resistance toward authority and authority figures, the non-traditional curriculum implemented by Expanse enables them to get around the resistance of the young adult students in the program. This enables the therapists to gain clinical information, while simultaneously promoting personal growth and rehabilitation.
