Eagle Ranch Academy’s residential treatment program is different from other residential teen help programs because we focus on permanent behavioral change—well after your child has left us. Our techniques are consistent with the latest developments in clinical psychology, and we implement them in an organic way during your child’s stay with us at Eagle Ranch Academy. Our program is one of the most comprehensive in the country, because we combine all the aspects related to your child’s health in their normal daily regimen, which will include therapy sessions, chores, entertainment, and fitness activities.
First of all, many residential programs for troubled youths sound like a prison camp to parents; but that isn’t the case here at Eagle Ranch Academy at all—far from it. Our certified staff cares about your child, and we infused our campus with love, understanding, and an open communication that encourages self reflection in our students. Our staff is extremely professional and knowledgeable, but more than that, they bond with the students on a daily basis, which is evidenced by the continued friendships and communication between many of our graduates and the people on our team who helped them to turn their lives around.

Not only do we employ clinically based behavior modification techniques that we have refined over the years to suit the specific needs of troubled youth, but there is another characteristic that sets our program apart and guarantees that a troubled youth will achieve long lasting behavioral change:
our program is open ended. Students don’t graduated after a specified length of time that is dependent on some external factor (like the school schedule in their home state), they graduate only after they have come to a mental and emotional place of self-discovery and self reflection. Positive behavior modification techniques results in troubled youths who can now see themselves more honestly and choose the path they want to go down for the rest of their lives. Only when they are ready to ask for solutions and receive answers that they will put into action, do our youths graduate from ERA.
You can trust our staff. The daily operations of our program are run by experts in their field, from clinical psychologists, behavioral psychologists, educational psychologists, psychiatrists, medical doctors, nurses, case managers, case workers and many others. Our academic instructors are certified by the state, our fitness instructor is a certified trainer. All meals served to your child will be prepared fresh daily from a menu developed by a certified nutritionist.
In addition to employing proven strategies in the field of mental health (such as individual and group therapy, the 12 step program Alcoholics Anonymous, and many others), we employ some of our own unique programs that focus on self discovery, such as Life Coaching Skills and Emotional Growth Seminars. These programs help students to effect true, internal change because they help them to feel adequately prepared to handle the different challenges they’ll face after they leave us.
In other words, we show troubled youth we care, we get them to talk about the root causes of their negative issues, we teach them self introspection so they can decide for themselves what they want, and then we teach them behavior modification through real life skills and strategies, so they can stay on the path they have chosen.
