Tour the Wilderness Treatment Center Experience

Wilderness Treatment Center is located on a 4,000 acre, working cattle ranch, 25 miles west of Kalispell, MT. This ranch, the M-Lazy-V, was built in 1924 and functioned as a high end dude ranch from 1924 to 1970. The ranch was purchased in 1982 and in August of 1983, Wilderness Treatment Center admitted its first patient. Fifty percent of the original log buildings are still functioning today, giving Wilderness Treatment Center a true ranch atmosphere. The property also includes a fully functional challenge course, fishing creek, outdoor group therapy structures, frisbee golf course, miles of cross country skiing trails and access to Serenity Falls.
