LEGACY OUTDOOR ADVENTURES

What LEGACY OUTDOOR ADVENTURES does

Legacy Outdoor Adventures, legally operating as Legacy Treatment Center, is a private for-profit residential treatment provider founded in 2011 and headquartered in Loa, Utah. The company delivers a 90-day hybrid wilderness and clinical therapy program for adults aged 18-40 with mental health and addiction challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and co-occurring disorders. It operates two gender-specific programs: the men's Legacy Treatment Center and Juniper Canyon Recovery Center for Women (founded 2017), with Dr. Madolyn Liebing serving as Clinical Director across both.

The core product is a hybrid residential program that alternates weekly between a clinical base camp — equipped with modern cabins, lodges, a medical clinic, on-site nursing, equine therapy facilities, and adventure therapy spaces — and wilderness expeditions including backpacking, kayaking, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, camping, and ropes courses. Clinical delivery spans individual therapy (minimum twice weekly), daily group therapy, psychiatry services, trauma-informed care, evidence-based modalities (CBT, DBT, EMDR), equine therapy, and a Family Program delivered via telehealth, in-person workshops, and a secure Family Portal. The company maintains a longitudinal outcomes database using OQ45 health change scores spanning 10+ years across 236+ surveyed clients (177 male, 59 female, plus 6 gender-diverse participants), earning the Joint Commission Research Designated Gold Seal.

Revenue is generated through direct insurance billing and private-pay arrangements. Legacy is licensed by the State of Utah as a Residential Treatment Center and holds the regulatory standing to pre-authorize and bill insurance directly, with named payer relationships including BlueCross BlueShield, Select Health, and University of Utah Health. The go-to-market motion is sales-led via a dedicated admissions team, with top-of-funnel referrals sourced from insurance networks, Utah-area healthcare providers (Salt Lake City, Orem, Murray, Provo, University of Utah), and direct family outreach. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-based on a per-episode basis tied to the 90-day program length, with a Sky's the Limit Fund partnership providing financial assistance to eligible families.
