Residential Treatment Center for Troubled Boys

Liahona Academy has been helping troubled boys and their families since 2001 and is among the top residential treatment centers in the nation. Liahona Academy's therapeutic program is based on the effective philosophy of a keen balance between "love and discipline". At Liahona, we believe that boys thrive in an environment of "love" and "discipline". Moreover, we believe that boys respond to the help offered when they feel loved, respected and responsible.
At Liahona Academy, the balance between unconditional love (respect) and accountability (discipline) has been demonstrated to be the perfect combination. Boys respect those who expect "greatness" from them and these boys tend to live up to expectations, both good and bad.
Boys appreciate those who will hold them accountable; sending the message, "you have what it takes to be great". Over the years we have restored thousands of troubled boys and their families through "love and discipline". Our proven results speak for themselves.
Liahona Academy is a fully licensed treatment facility that offers multiple levels of care, including Residential Treatment Care, Day Treatment Care and Outpatient Treatment to effectively treat mental health illness and issues. Our mental health treatment team consists of a licensed medical doctor, a licensed psychiatrist, licensed therapists, as well as five registered nurses. All staff members of the treatment team work in conjunction with one another to provide a consistent continuum of care that can address all aspects of implementing a proper individualized treatment plan for each patient. Individual, family, and group therapy sessions are combined with support groups to provide positive mental health treatment and rehabilitation. Our medical team address all physical or mental issues or illness that may be affecting the patient’s mental health. Each aspect of the treatment team work in harmony to insure the psychological, medical, and psychiatric team members work towards effectively treating the issues of each patient in restoring them to physical, mental, and emotional health which can be sustained outside of the treatment facility.

Our Message to
Parents of Troubled Boys

You are not alone and we can help! If your son is self-destructing: lying, skipping classes, defying authority, depressed, angry, abusing drugs and alcohol, hanging out with the wrong kids, he is most likely struggling at home and at school, resulting in troubling behavior. Contact us because we can help you.

If your troubled teen is acting out, emotionally immature, making one poor choice after another, we have the solution. Its as simple as this: speak with some of our former or current families and find out exactly how effective we are. We will help you to contact our former or current students and/or families and we encourage you to listen to their stories of success and restoration.

If you are a parent needing help with your troubled teen, please take action now and give us a call at 1-800-675-8101. Our goal is to provide parents of troubled teens with therapeutic support and academic services to help their struggling boy.

At Liahona Academy, we believe that some troubled boys need to be removed from their current environment (removed from negative friends and poor influences). Sometimes a clean break and a fresh start is needed to receive help. We have found that some troubled boys cannot progress or improve without a total break and fresh start.
