Mission Statement

Logan River Academy is committed to being a premier adolescent residential treatment center providing services of the highest quality and ethical standards. We dedicate ourselves to improving the lives of the young people we serve and their families.

Philosophy/Belief Statement

We associate with our students, their families, referral and funding sources, and each other, with the highest degree of ethical standards, integrity, and quality. We believe in the basic value and worth of each individual and demonstrate that belief through our day-to-day contact. We conduct our program within a framework of consistent boundaries and expectations for the purpose of enhancing performance and self-worth. Individual responsibility and accountability is key to shaping behavior and performance and teaching students to become increasingly self-directed.

Program Information

A thoughtful program will address the needs of its students. Experience has demonstrated that troubled youth need a balanced program that skillfully combines structured residential environment, therapy, and education. At Logan River Academy we are committed to providing all three: therapy by licensed professionals, a structured living environment founded on the concepts of personal responsibility and accountability, and a solid academic program designed to prepare the student for future success. Experience has also proven that this balance is critical in achieving lasting change. At Logan River , we incorporate all three crucial elements into each student's individualized treatment plan.
