At Clearfork Academy, we provide a comprehensive treatment to help teens with SUD recover and start living a healthy, sober life. Our treatment concentrates on the individualized needs and concerns of teenagers. We understand SUD often goes in hand with trauma or mental health issues.
Let us help you help your son gain a new purpose for living that goes beyond the pain of SUD and toward a fulfilling life.
Searching for the Best Rehabilitation Center
When it comes to finding a good drug rehab for your teen, there are a few things you should keep in mind. You will want to seek treatment that includes:
- Licensed and certified facilities
- Special services or programming such as 12-step programs, cognitive behavioral therapy, or adventure therapy
- Qualified and experienced staff that can treat teens
- Therapy that incorporates the family members into the treatment plan
The Core Values Behind Clearfork Academy
At Clearfork Academy, we view addiction as a treatable condition, not a moral failing. As such, Austin Davis LPC-S, the facility’s founder, spent 15 years fine-tuning and practicing the program’s philosophy and methodology before opening Clearfork Academy. Today, we offer an innovative treatment plan that restores teenagers’ well-being from the grapples of SUD and the pain of trauma. Your teen has 24/7 access to our medical detox program, residential treatment program, and intensive outpatient care.
Clearfork Academy employs narrative therapy to help teens discover the “real” story hidden inside themselves to achieve their goals. Instead of allowing past trauma or pain to hinder recovery, we use the family systems perspective to help teens face the trauma and reframe their narrative as a victorious one. Drawing power from their “inner survivor,” teens leave here empowered with the leadership skills to take charge of their God-given life.
How It Works
Our clinicians identify and target the symptoms of SUD and mental health issues. Effectively, we employ the sequential scope of our interconnected treatment to permeate the deeply-rooted problems in each teen. For example, each week, we present a Clearfork core value to help teens take action in their recovery. As an acronym, our seven core values stand for “hustle&fun”:
- Honor
- Unity
- Sacrifice
- Transparency
- Legacy
- Excellence
- Fun
Ultimately, Clearfork’s core values uphold and unify: “honoring God, self, and one’s neighbor.”
