I can't say enough great things about Stillwater Academy. We were terrified because of all the horror stories about programs that are out there, but after doing a lot of research, talking to other parents who had sent their kids here, and feeling like we had no other choice based on the escalating situation at home, we made one of the toughest decisions any parent can make to send our kid out of state to get him the help he desperately needed. I can honestly and proudly say that one year late...

I spent time here as a teenager. I’m still dealing with PTSD issues to this day. I watched kids get beaten into submission or entirely neglected. I witnessed a teenage girl get put into a “big T”, her head smashed into the ground until she was spitting blood, all because she wouldn’t sit on the floor in the proper position. I was yelled at in big group on my first day, being called obscene names 2 inches from my face, and told I was going to end up a drug addict that would be passed around by...

If I could give it 0 stars I would.. Any program like this is designed to hide deep family secrets, there are things I learned there that help me get through life, but it's not worth the weight of the knowledge at the age. Kids are ment to be kids... And if we're being honest, if your kid needs to go here.. that's your fault, your kid didnt fail you, you failed your kid, as a parent, mentor and life guide.

2023 - This school saved our teen! Like every parent, you read the unnerving stories of wilderness programs and therapeutic schools. I did what research I could, closed my eyes, prayed, and took a chance. My wife and I flew out to every family event and every time we could tell that this staff was dedicated to our child. The kids love the staff! Tears of affection from kids, staff, and parents are always shed at these events. The school *WILL* challenge your young adult and they *WILL NOT* l...

I attended Stillwater academy for 1 year and two months. It was amazing! I learned what I need to do to stay sober, and have not had a relapse in the more than two years since I've graduated. I made many great friends who u still have today. I love the group therapy, where we are surrounded by people who can relate with us, and help us through our struggles as they also work on their own. Every week we got to go and learn how to work with and ride horses, which was awesome! Also, we had group...

My daughter recently graduated from this academy. I have nothing but extremely positive things to say about Stillwater. Every staff member and teacher were very focused on providing excellent care and education to my daughter. This school is very far from our home and we had to learn trust and to believe in the system. We were always treated with respect and encouragement. These people are truly professional and they have perfected their craft. Understand this is a very dynamic environm...

My son was lost. He was failing school, he was angry with the world and with everyone around him, he was getting into drugs and alcohol, he was hanging out with the wrong crowd, and nothing we did seemed to help him. Our family was at war and I was losing my son a little more every day. He had no chance of a future and that's when we found Stillwater. They saved his life and our family. The staff are amazing people. They are truly there for the kids and the families. You can tell they do this...

I was a student at Stillwater Academy and I am so grateful for everything that I learned while I was there. As a teenager, I struggled with a lot of different things but through the help of the therapists and counselors at Stillwater, I was able to learn coping strategies and tools on how to turn my life around. The staff truly cared about me and my family, and are still friends with us today! They taught us about boundaries and healthy relationships and how to live a healthy life. It's becau...
