Your clients turn to you for guidance when they need substance abuse and/or mental health treatment. They ask you where to go, and who can help them and their family. We know you only want to refer your clients to treatment facilities you can genuinely trust. You want a place that’s equipped and qualified to handle each specific issue and diagnosis that your client is facing.
If you’re looking for the best treatment facility to collaborate with, we are here to help! At Clearfork Academy, we offer gender-specific, faith-based, treatment for boys ages 13-17. We’ve successfully helped thousands of teen boys find a new path and create a new legacy.
Here are the top five reasons we are the #1 choice for many therapists:
1. Our Services
- Residential Treatment
Unlike others that only offer a 28-day treatment option, our program is a full 13 weeks long. We use that time to help our patients focus on their recovery, learn life skills, and learn how to lead a better life. - Medical Detox
As patients begin to clear their body of substances, our medical staff customizes and oversees their care. The health and safety of our boys is always a top priority. - Intensive Outpatient Treatment
If a patient is in the early stages of addiction, we can offer a customized plan to fit in the family’s daily schedule. We will provide practical guidance to help these teens overcome addiction.
2. Qualified Staff
- Master Level Clinicians
At Clearfork Academy, we are well-equipped to treat multiple mental health diagnoses. Our masters level licensed therapists meet individually with each patient. They work to help these boys understand the underlying causes of their addiction, and find lasting change. - On-Site Nurses
The health of our patients is of the utmost importance. For that reason, there is a nurse on-site 24-7. Our nurses oversee the detox process, and treat any other health concerns as needed.
3. Family Care
- Family Therapy
At Clearfork Academy, we have a full-time family therapist on staff. Substance abuse and mental health treatment is a family issue, so we care for the entire family. Additionally, the support of family plays a huge role in the success of many teens in treatment. - Family Support Groups
Our family support group meets every Tuesday. It is our goal to be engaged with the families of our patients, and to stay engaged with them. This support group is for the families of current patients, and for the families of our alumni. We are here for the families of these boys for as long as they need us!
4. Treatment Modalities
At Clearfork Academy, we utilize a variety treatment modalities based on the patient and their specific needs. Through these different therapy options, we are able to successfully treat multiple diagnoses, including trauma and depression.
- EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
- DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy)
- Experiential Therapy
- Adventure Therapy
- Art Therapy
- Music Therapy
- Play Therapy
- Psychodrama
5. Aftercare
- A Plan For Success
On the first day of treatment, our team begins working on an aftercare plan for each patient. When boys leave our facility, we want them to be well-equipped to continue their recovery journey. - Alumni Team
From the moment of admission, our patients become a part of the Clearfork family. We love inviting our alumni back to share their stories of hope with current patients. Our team is always available to assist with resources, guidance and recognition of important benchmarks no matter how long it’s been since graduation.
Over the years we have built relationships with many therapists. Our relationships are built on trust. When a therapist refers one of their clients to Clearfork Academy, they are able to rest assured with 100% confidence that their client and family are receiving the best treatment available.
“My experience referring young men to Clearfork Academy has been positive. From the admissions process to returning to me for aftercare, I felt informed and engaged. More importantly, their active, intentional, & therapeutic approach helps teens work toward healing and living a life in recovery.” – Cristal Clark, LPC-S
