Sober Activities in Apache Junction for Outpatient Treatment

After you finish a robust and comprehensive treatment program, you’re going to have a lot more time on your hands. It can be tempting to turn back to a drug or alcohol addiction with the influx of time and the subsequent boredom that can ensue. Structure matters in the early days of recovery.

Here are some local sober activities that can support your addiction treatment upon discharge from a drug rehab program.

Lost Dutchman State Park

Did you know that getting out into nature and getting active can have a profound impact on your mental health? Explore scenic views in the Apache Junction area at Lost Dutchman State Park. They have miles of hiking trails that walk you through the flora and fauna of the area or more challenging hikes.

You can also explore the lakes and waterfront areas on a hot day. Another option could be the mountain bike trail that spans a four-mile loop. If you want to see the best that the Sonoran Desert has to offer, Lost Dutchman is worth a visit.

Tonto National Forest

Tonto National Forest is another top-rated choice for hiking trails through the wilderness. There is a quick and easy two-mile loop you can traverse known as the Treasure Loop Trail, but there are also options for more experienced hikers who want the challenge.

Broadway Cave offers a view that is second to none, but you’ll have quite a hike to get there!

Don’t forget the Tonto Natural Bridge State Park, which can be explored from the comfort of your air-conditioned vehicle. There are observation points along the path so that you can take in the view.

Historic Sites to Visit

When the weather is simply too hot in the midst of an Arizona summer, you might not want to hike miles and miles. Instead, you can enjoy the historic background of the Goldfield Ghost Town which used to be a thriving mining outpost. Now, you can tour the mines and pan for gold or take a short railroad trip.

Another historic site you may want to visit is the Tortilla Flat which is a similar Old West attraction with a saloon and mercantile as well as a restaurant. Explore some of the legends of the Apache Junction area with a Prickly Pear Gelato in hand!

Local Twelve-Step Meetings in Apache Junction, AZ

Once you transition from a residential treatment program to outpatient services, such as our IOPs or our partial hospitalization programs, you may need to put a few more supports in place to ensure you don’t return to substance abuse. A Twelve Step program may be a great chance for you to grow your community while committing to sobriety.

AA Meetings

Alcoholics Anonymous is perhaps the most well-known Twelve Step program that you can choose to attend after a stay in alcohol or drug rehab centers. There is an abundance of AA meetings in the Apache Junction area to ensure you always have the help you need.
