Important question - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

Emily_a_b · 11-02-2006, 09:43 PM

Hello,
Has anyone heard of a drug addiction program where the participants are put
in a ship that goes out to the sea for several months ? There was a tv program about that but I am unable to find any information about it.
Greetings to everyone. Thanks for your answers.

It is called Outward Bound. Being a sailor of the East Coast I have seen them in action. From an outsiders viewpoint it is a rugged outdoor challenge for younger folks in turmoil. I dont know if there are any prerequisits to get into the program. May have to be sober for sme amount of time and or under a certain age. I tried but it used to be under 26 ?
Hope this helps, I wish I could have gotten in over 10 years ago.
