Eagle Ranch Academy Educates Kids in Anger Management Therapy

Kids who act out in response to dealing with traumatic events in their lives can often be difficult to deal with. Parents may feel they cannot reach their child or handle their outbursts when they happen. Common issues that lead to this uncontrollable behavior are fears of being abandoned if there has been a divorce in the family, a sense of injustice in the home at school (such as in response to bullying), bipolar disorder, or the inability to self-reflect.

Eagle Ranch Academy is a residential treatment center for teens 11-17 who have exhausted traditional therapies in learning to deal with their anger. If you have a teen who has become uncontrollable, we have methods designed to help them control their emotions. ERA is a working ranch located in St George, Utah. We have clinical and licensed staff with not only the expertise to help your child, but with the experience and loving care you can trust your child to.

A regular day in the program gives your child reason to pause, think and manage their emotional responses.  The program consists of classes of 12 students who are monitored and instructed by professionals, including an embedded therapist. They will have to set goals, complete chores, complete their studies, and engage in individual and group therapy sessions. They will still be able to carry on with their academic studies in their home state, because we use an accredited academic curriculum. The program also includes individual life skills instruction intended to give your child the tools they will need to continue to manage their lives in a positive way after they leave us.

Our therapists will employ proven clinical methods to help your child not only control their anger, but express their emotions in a more positive way. We combine these with our 8 Core Values of Character, our Life Coaching Skills program, our positive reinforcement Value Based Behavior Modification Program, and Emotional Growth Seminars. Together these strategies show kids that there are healthy, positive ways to express themselves, and encourage introspection and self-evaluation. We also address your child’s underlying issue that is causing them to act out.

Throughout the program, you will be in constant contact with us and your child. At Eagle Ranch Academy, we not only help your child with their anger management issues, we are dedicated to helping you help your child. We even have emotional Growth Seminars that the whole family can attend, so everyone in the home can learn to deal with the complexities of anger management and crisis control.

First, Eagle ranch Academy will evaluate your teen based on past and present behavior, and with psychological and educational testing, if applicable. Then we’ll help you navigate through what can become a tedious process dealing with your health insurance for the coverage of tuition costs. We also have scholarships available.  We’ll always be available to answer any questions you have. If you only want a limited enrollment for your child on a crisis basis, we also have that option available to you. ERA has scholarships available to parents who want to attend any of our seminars and workshops.

If your child is out of control and needs anger management therapy, Eagle Ranch Academy can help.

Eagle Ranch Academy Provides Drug Addiction Treatment

Eagle Ranch Academy is a huge campus that was built-to-order by one of the largest corporations in Utah, the Woodbury Corporation. It was specifically built to be a Residential Drug and Alcohol Treatment Center for the State of Utah. As such, we have classes designed for 11-17 year olds who are gifted, but may be experiencing personal addictions problems related to drugs and alcohol.

Each class has 12 to 16 students in it, as well as an ‘embedded’ therapist and a professional instructor. In addition, we have 3 to 4 professional staff providing constant supervision. Our therapists are in the class 40 hours per week. They provide individual, group and student/parent family therapy. The embedded therapists also provide the teens with counseling at crucial moments throughout the day, along with regular 1 hour sessions per week. The benefit of an embedded therapist is that in a moment of crisis, a student can have a 1 on 1 counseling session without even knowing that they are being helped by a professional. There is no pre-conception clouding how the teen reacts to this “help session”, so there is more opportunity to actually reach the child.

At Eagle Ranch Academy, we go even further to help teens with drug addictions by enhancing our staff with a psychiatrist, a medical doctor, a behavioral psychologist, clinical psychologist, nurses, and a separate weekend therapist, all under the expert guidance of our clinical director. In other words, we have a serious drug addiction treatment program with the right staff to implement the latest medical treatments with regard to addiction therapies.

There are many other professionals for the related parts of the residential program as well, such as case managers/ after care specialists, case workers, educational psychologists, family relations directors (who manage seminars for parents/ families to attend to help them cope), a cook, and 10-12 professional staff on site at all times. All our academic programs are individualized so that they can have the most impact on your teen’s life, and are augmented by Online 3D Learn staff members.

In other words, Eagle Ranch Academy is a state of the art facility, with an abundantly and professionally staffed program to provide meaningful Drug Addiction treatment to any teen lost to addiction. We are not a boarding school, and we do have a focus on the kinds of teens who enter our program. Basically we want to reach a teen who is gifted academically, athletically or in the performing arts, but is who is performing below their potential due to emotional, psychological or social reasons. This includes drug addiction, which is particularly devastating on a teen’s life and their future.

Unlike a boarding school, a residential program such as ours can provide much more focused treatment, including psychological and medical treatment, not just broad academic services. Thus Eagle Ranch Academy provides drug addiction treatment and helps students to maximize their natural abilities, so they can get their lives back on track. We also provide seminars and workshops for parents who have entrusted us with their children by enrolling them in the program. These can be a tool to help you cope and give you strategies for helping your teen and your family heal.

At Eagle Ranch Academy, our intensive drug addiction treatment program is based on behavior modification techniques employed by clinical professionals. We provide after care programs for long term support once your teen has graduated from us, giving them a trusted place to come back to for support as they face the challenges ahead.
