Drug or alcohol addiction is a difficult spiral to get out of. It’s even harder for impressionable teenagers who already have plenty on their plate. You’re not failing as a parent if your child is struggling with substance abuse, and you’re not doing anything wrong if it seems like things aren’t getting better. There’s a reason there are medical professionals who study and help with addiction recovery: it’s hard. It’s a disease and not a choice. But there is a cure. At Clearfork Academy, we offer a Christian approach to addiction recovery, based in Forth Worth, Texas. Most treatment programs don’t cater to teens, and even fewer are developed specifically for them. We understand the unique challenge that recovery for teens poses, with an approach we took many years to develop and which has seen results in countless people we’ve helped. If you need a teen rehab in Garland, we’re here to help.
“Because we loved you so much, we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well.”
1 Thessalonians 2:8
Our residential treatment center is at the core of our program which aids in our residents’ recoveries. With 80 acres of land surrounding our scenic Texas ranch, everyone who comes to us can start to recover from their addiction in a safe, nonjudgmental and comfortable space. Within this space, they will partake in Christ-centered guidance that will give them the skills they need to dedicate themselves to long-term treatment and to help them get through any challenges they may face in the future. When staying with us for their residential treatment, they will be given the chance to heal through treatment, therapy and other activities all led by our professional team. There is the opportunity to engage with individual therapy, group therapy and family therapy, which will help the teens to feel supported and will have a lasting effect for the future.
We understand that everyone is different, that is why our qualified team will create an individualized treatment plan for each teen. For those taking part in our residential program, the typical stay is 13 weeks. Although this may seem like a long time, short stints often don’t turn into long term solutions. Each week all the teens are assessed, and from this, we can shorten or lengthen their length of stay depending on what they need. When each teen leaves the program, they will leave with an aftercare plan that will help them stay on track for success in life.
The first step to rehabilitation and recovery is reaching out for help. Whether your teen can do that themselves, or you notice concerning changes in them that need addressing, Clearfork Academy is here to help. Our faith-based rehab for teens combines the need for behavior modification with a change of heart. This change of heart is necessary for long term recovery and with help from Christ and his teachings they can begin to overcome the challenges that they face and gain the knowledge and skills they need to overcome others in the future.
