Despite increasing use of AT in professional practice and associated research, there remains a "black box" with regards to understanding how and why AT works and for whom it works. Substance use disorders are common {20.5 million Americans age 12 or older had a substance use disorder in 2015), and opioid addiction including abuse of prescription pain relievers and heroin accounts for approximately 10% of these substance use disorders. (2 million of the 20.5 million Americans with a substance use disorder in 2015 had a disorder involving prescription pain relievers and 591,000 had a disorder involving heroin) (5). The primary objective of this Capstone project was to further understanding of how and why AT works in the treatment of addiction, with the goal of shedding light on the AT "black box." A second objective of this project was to lay the groundwork for the developing an AT rock climbing program for use in the treatment of addiction. 000010146 650__ $$aAdolescent$$014285 000010146 650__ $$aChild$$016462 000010146 650__ $$aOpioid-Related Disorders$$022689 000010146 650__ $$aHumans$$020376 000010146 650__ $$aWilderness$$038479 000010146 650__ $$aAdult$$014319 000010146 6531_ $$atherapy 000010146 691__ $$aSchool of Medicine$$041369 000010146 692__ $$aDepartment of Family Medicine$$041416 000010146 7001_ $$aShaffer, Kelly$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000010146 8564_ $$94ca4b5ae-f7b8-4d6a-80a4-46c9efa3203d$$s12595304$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/10146/files/Shaffer.Kelly.2019.pdf 000010146 905__ $$a/rest/prod/v1/18/rf/34/v118rf34f 000010146 909CO $$ooai:digitalcollections.ohsu.edu:10146$$pstudent-work 000010146 980__ $$aStudent Work
