Aspen Achievement Academy
Aspen Achievement Academy is a licensed treatment program that integrates an accredited academic component, a sophisticated therapeutic model, and an experiential education curriculum in a healing wilderness environment. Aspen Academy recently participated in a landmark study of wilderness therapy that showed a dramatic improvement in teen behavior after participation in this type of program.
The Academy creates a modern “rite of passage” designed to assist adolescents in making the transition to responsible young adulthood. It guides each participant through a series of powerful metaphors that symbolize stages of growth, provide deeper insight towards developing self-reliance, and generate a sense responsibility for self and community. Aspen’s clinical focus is on insight-oriented therapy, rather than behavior modification. The model helps our students gain awareness of their emotional and behavior habits. This unique, nurturing approach allows our students to address individual issues, become engaged in their personal success, and begin the process of bringing their families back together.

Aspen Ranch
Aspen Ranch is a licensed adolescent residential treatment center for troubled teens located in rural Loa, Utah, about three hours south of Salt Lake City. Aspen Ranch is surrounded by towering green mountains and incredible red rock desert which offers a great alternative to school for your troubled teen. There are miles of BLM and Forest Service land in all directions, and Capitol Reef National Park is just twenty miles away. The Ranch’s co-educational residential treatment program is set in an ideal environment for troubled teens between the ages of 13 and 17.6 years, who need an opportunity to make positive life changes.
Low self esteem, academic underachievement, substance abuse, mood disorders, anger, and family conflict are some of the issues students at Aspen Ranch may be struggling with when they first arrive. Living in a therapeutic environment, attending an individually paced school designed for success, participating in individual and group therapy, and involvement in a life-changing Equine Program, allows Aspen Ranch students to experience success and rediscover a sense of mastery and self worth.
