Treatment model at Liahona treatment center is systemic in nature. Treatment provides a comprehensive understanding of individual and family systems, as well as the treatment of the identified patient. Liahona treatment may include but is not limited to cognitive behavioral techniques (CBT), biofeedback/relaxation training, experiential, insight oriented, solution-oriented, cognitive development, 12 steps, reality therapy, and motivational interviewing to achieve our overall treatment goals. Liahona’s mental health treatment program is designed to assess causality (or root cause issues) of the identified symptoms, and treat both cause and symptoms in a comprehensive approach. The goal is not to have the adolescent or family be miserably compliant, but rather to learn why they do the things they do and then learn and be successful at meeting their mental health needs in a healthy responsible way that satisfies them. When people learn how to get what they want and are effective at it, they are much more likely to stay sober and be successful going forward in life. The above methods are utilized, and are in adherence to the American Psychological Association as well as other common accepted standard levels of care, and follow evidence based treatment/interventions. Liahona treatment structured programing is formulated to utilize the accepted best practices and approaches to treat mental health issues and behaviors.

Residential Treatment Center for Troubled Boys

• Liahona Treatment Center has been helping troubled boys and their families since 2001 and is among the top residential treatment centers in the nation.  Liahona'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 Treatment Center, 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.
