Testimonial
We want to thank you all for the compassion Clearfork academy has shown our son and our family through the most challenging times as parents. The care our son received while in treatment at Clearfork academy far exceeded our expectations. The most comforting part of this experience was the staff’s compassion in finding the best treatment approach for our son. Clearfork Academy provided the therapy, values and structure our son needed to begin his recovery and jumpstart his spiritual journey. We consider all Clearfork academy’s staff as an extension of our family since they treated us like family throughout our son’s therapy. Even though our son has graduated from Clearfork Academy, we still feel supported through the alumni group. This is not a journey we expected for our teen, but we are forever thankful for Clearfork Academy!
