A – Yes — Lakeside Academy offers a broad range of evidence based individual and group mental health counseling services, based upon individual need.
Q – WHAT PROGRAMS DO YOU OFFER?
A – Lakeside Academy is a Christian Behavior and Recovery Center for teen boys 14 to 18, who are heading down the wrong path due to substance use, anger management, and other behavioral issues.
Our core program is a 4-level behavior rehabilitation program, with additional licensed chemical dependency treatment and mental health services provided to each student based on assessed need and his individual treatment plan. The program typically takes 12 months to complete, although some complete it in as few as 9 months.
The treatment approach we provide each student is based on an individual clinical assessment, a collaborative working relationship, and an empirical cognitive-behavioral treatment model that addresses the whole person (physical, emotional and spiritual needs). Our Admissions counselors can provide more detail based upon your son’s specific situation.
While at Lakeside Academy, all students are enrolled into the local public school district, Southwest Metro, and attend public school classes right at our campus.
Q – HOW QUICKLY CAN MY SON COME IN?
A – If beds are available, the Admission process typically takes 2-14 days. An intake may take place as soon as your application and supplemental paperwork has been submitted, reviewed and accepted, and initial tuition and deposit fees are paid.
Our Intake process includes an assessment of:
– Type and level of care required
– Mental health status/mental health medications
– Medical conditions/prescribed medications
– Legal status, past and present
– Funding eligibility
Q – CAN STUDENTS EARN HIGH SCHOOL CREDITS WHILE THEY ARE AT LAKESIDE ACADEMY?
A – Yes, while at Lakeside Academy your son will be enrolled in the local Southwest Metro school district. Students have the ability to earn high school credits, which can allow them to graduate, or earned credits may be transferred to either private or public schools following the student’s completion of their program.
Q – DOES MY CHILD HAVE TO BE WILLING IN ORDER TO BE ADMITTED TO LAKESIDE ACADEMY?
A – We understand that a troubled teen boy may be reluctant to come to any program.
For a behaviorally-challenged boy with minor or no substance abuse issues, we require only that he is aware that he is coming to Lakeside Academy and that he walks in under his own power (i.e. he is not forcibly dragged into a building). We are not a lock-down facility or a crisis-care facility.
For a boy in need of licensed treatment for substance use disorder, we require that he is open to receiving treatment, as this will impact his outcome and ability to break any addiction.
