Area of Focus

Oxbow Academy is a residential treatment center specializing in troubled teen boys ages 13-17 who, in addition to sexual issues, may also struggle with depression, ADHD, adoption, self-abuse, or other family concerns. Oxbow Academy uses a holistic therapeutic approach to help students address all of their behavioral struggles.

Philosophy/Belief Statement

At Oxbow, we provide a safe, supervised environment for adolescent boys to address behavioral issues that also include sexual dependencies. We use a holistic therapeutic approach that offers our students opportunities to grow and develop mentally, physically, emotionally, and academically. At Oxbow Academy there is new hope, new healing, no secrets.

Program Information

Oxbow Academy is a safe environment for adolescent boys to receive help for all of their behavioral issues without fear of being shunned, threatened, or ostracized. Our unique program addresses more traditional behavioral issues such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and mood disorders and the sexual issues that often accompany these behaviors.

Program Information (Contd.)

Our students do not carry the stigma of ugly labels. They live and learn in an environment that is safe and supervised. Intensive clinical therapy, coupled with experiential therapeutic activities, demands accountability and teaches responsibility and relapse prevention.

Oxbow has helped hundreds of boys return to healthy lives within their communities.
