Success Stories

Provo Canyon in the News

Treating patients in crisis

Teen boy and girl smilingRegulated residential inpatient treatment is a last resort for most patients in crisis. Teen programs vary in structure, demographics, restrictiveness and standards of care. Some residential schools also serve suicidal teens and psychotic and violent youth under constant supervision.

Services for teens can specialize in substance abuse, eating disorders and developmental delays. Residential treatment involves a range of public and private programs that address youth mental health and behavioral challenges.

Years of bad press and harmful narratives around inpatient boarding may still shape public opinion and impact federal funding. In a recent article in the NY Post, author Christina Buttons recounted her positive experiences at Provo Canyon. She also wrote an article for the Manhattan Institute on the radical movement to divest from youth residential treatment.

“Most residential teen programs are licensed and regulated,” said Buttons. “The answer to imperfect care cannot be no care at all.”

A Special Patient Testimonial

Celebrating your success

Teen girl standing in the sunshine“Before attending Provo Canyon, I was running away from home for days at a time and hanging out with people who were contributing to my self-destructive behaviors. I’d gotten into drugs. I was stealing cars.

“During my time at Provo Canyon, I learned so much about myself and came to terms with my sexuality. I gained the structure and discipline I needed to go forward and be successful. I never witnessed nor heard of any abuse in my time there. I only saw love and care.

“The staff at Provo Canyon School were some of the nicest and most genuine people I’ve ever known and, by far, some of the most patient. They endure verbal abuse and threats. And yet they coach, mentor and improve the lives of us all.”
