Yes. You will have a roommate. Philosophically we believe in the power of community. With that being said some rooms only have 3 to a room while others have 6. Don’t be surprised if you develop great friendships with the other guys in the program.
Our program is designed to be 13 weeks in length. We know that short term fixes are just that… All residents will be assessed weekly basis to ensure we’re providing the right level of treatment. Sometimes those assessments will require a shorter length of stay and sometimes longer. We’ll treat each teen specially and uniquely.
It’s not uncommon for the teens at Clearfork Academy to have a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder. Substance abuse has been known to trigger or exacerbate existing mental health issues and vice versa. That being said, you can’t really generalize our boys. They’re all fearfully and wonderfully made creations of a loving God.
No. We don’t allow any of our residents to bring electronics. Click here to see the lists of What To Bring and What Not To Bring.

We are not a lock down facility, so, yes. However, we suggest communication early and often when something seems out of place or if you sense Clearfork Academy is not a good fit. We want what is best for you!
Clearfork Academy has done its absolute best to provide a premier program at an affordable cost. In addition to this, we have several referral options. We have selected a partner to assist with treatment costs. Please do not let finances be the deciding factor for your loved one. We are dedicated to helping families first.
The University of Texas-University Charter School (UT-UCS) is a charter school within a division of K-12 education. Clients are provided enrollment in an individualized education system that fulfills their specialized learning needs at Clearfork Academy’s on-site learning center. Our highly skilled faculty, staff, and administrators are required to hold specific education certifications that are recognized by the Texas Education Association in addition to subject-area certifications. While maintaining small classroom sizes and aligning with our core values we strive to achieve academic, social and emotional excellence to fully prepare your teen for reintegration into a public school setting. We aim to ensure your teen reaches their maximum academic potential as part of their New Legacy.
It is our experience that relocation can be very beneficial to the teen and family. With today’s technology, reconnection to the family can be instant and seamless.
Each teen will be treated by a licensed MD, a masters level therapist, and a licensed chemical dependency counselor. The team members of Clearfork Academy have been hand picked by the Founder and CEO to ensure the best quality of services for your child.
Yes! Family therapy is an integral part of treatment at Clearfork. Weekend events and conferences serve families as they help their loved one break the grips of addiction from a family systems approach.
Some would say that treatment and recovery are totally different concepts. Treatment begins the process of recovery and the aftercare planning process begins on the first day of treatment. It is our goal to have each teen graduate with a specific blueprint for his success in life.
Absolutely. All clinical services are protected under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996.
