Logan River Academy is a
residential treatment center and therapeutic school for teens ages 12-18 who are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, autism spectrum disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), mild substance use, and unhealthy digital habits. Students receive full-time care while attending a fully accredited school on campus. Small class sizes and 24/7 support help each student find emotional balance and academic success.
The program blends evidence-based therapy and holistic care to meet each student’s needs. Therapies include
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), neurofeedback, and
family therapy. The ESSENCE model guides care in areas like self-care, empathy, and communication. Students also build life skills through mindfulness, nutrition, fitness, service, and adventure activities that boost confidence and self-worth.
Students live in well-supervised, comfortable dorms with a predictable routine and personal guidance from trained mentors. Dorms are spacious and organized to give each student structure and support. On-campus meals are provided daily, and students enjoy outdoor adventures, sports, art, service projects, and local outings. Travel help is available, and families are involved through regular therapy sessions and scheduled visits.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Logan River Academy provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
