Medicine Wheel at RedCliff is a therapeutic wilderness program for adults aged 18 and older who suffer from substance abuse, mood disorders, ADHD or other conditions. Medicine Wheel is headquartered in the rugged high desert terrain of Southern Utah, approximately 300 miles south of Salt Lake City.
Founded in 2001, Medicine Wheel uses a therapeutic model similar to our sister company, RedCliff Ascent. In almost two decades of working with out of control adolescents, RedCliff Ascent has helped thousands of students end their Developmental Vacation ™ and progress to happier, more productive lives. RedCliff Ascent is recognized as one of the most trusted and effective wilderness therapy programs in North America.
Medicine Wheel employs the same standards of therapeutic excellence in a program designed specifically for young adults. We offer safety, proven curriculum, a strong clinical model, and organizational stability and maturity.
