Our message to parent’s of troubled boys…
You are not alone and we can help! If your son is self-destructing: lying, skipping classes, defying authority, depressed, angry, abusing drugs and alcohol, and hanging out with the wrong kids, he is most likely struggling at home and at school, resulting in troubling behavior. Contact us because we can help you. If your troubled teen is acting out, emotionally immature, and making one poor choice after another, we have the solution. It’s as simple as this: speak with some of our former or current families and find out exactly how effective we are.
We all need a little help sometimes.

Assess your struggling teen’s behavior
How do I know if my child needs a Residential Treatment Center for troubled boys? Are you unsure or unaware of the signs and symptoms of troubled teens? Let us help you assess and verify your child’s specific situation. Allow our professional Admissions Counselors to help you determine the best course for your family.
What’s parents are saying
It is not an easy decision for a parent to place a child in someone else’s care and custody. After conducting two weeks of personal research, I chose Liahona as the best facility for my son’s needs.
I recommend Liahona Academy and Clay AhQuin to any parent struggling with a troubled teen. They are honest and sincerely concerned about the boys in their program. The staff are the most compassionate and caring people. Thank you for everything you did!”
I quickly chose Liahona Academy, for the following reasons: 1) it was an all boy school, 2) the program runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 3) the location was distant from the bad influences, and 4) with my son being cared for properly.
Frequently Asked Question
Will insurance pay for treatment at Liahona Treatment Center?
While Liahona is not an “in-network” provider for any health insurance companies, some insurance companies do provide for out of network benefits. We do our best to maximize your benefits through your insurance carrier by billing for the residential treatment care along with the clinical and therapeutic care provided to the patients who have been admitted into Liahona’s residential treatment center. Liahona Treatment Center submits all medical bills along with explanation of services to your provider so that you may maximize your reimbursement for the services provided. Ask our Admissions Director for additional information and for a benefit check to see if you may have out-of-network coverage.
**Please keep in mind that no matter what your insurance quotes for coverage prior to entrance, IT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THEY WILL COVER THE SERVICES PROVIDED. We are simply relaying your benefit information. No promises or guarantees are being made. The insurance companies will only pay for the treatment if they believe that it is medically necessary.
Will my child be working towards a High school diploma, or a G.E.D.?
As your son progresses in Liahona Treatment Center’s clinical and therapeutic program, he will be able to work towards a high school diploma, not a G.E.D. Liahona Treatment Center’s education program is nationally accredited through AdvancEd (formally Northwest Accreditation Commission). We have 8 State Licensed Teachers and 4 certified tutors who are ready and willing to help your child succeed academically. We do have the ability to work with existing 504 plans and IEP’s (Individualized Education Plans.) To view our accreditation, please click on the following link:

Is the Clinical/Therapeutic Program at Liahona Treatment Center done by licensed professionals?
Yes. Out clinical team consists of a Utah licensed Medical Doctor, a Utah licensed Psychiatric Care Provider, 5 Utah licensed Registered Nurses and our Therapists are LCSW certified or above. Therapy Modalities are as follows: Family, Group, Individual and Experiential.
Depending on the patient’s needs and required level of care, our medical doctor, along with our primary psychiatric care provider and registered nurses will see and examine your son on a regular basis to review his medical and mental health needs.
Family therapy is done via a HIPAA compliant Video Telemedicine program once your son has achieved the applicable level to participate.
Group Therapy is done daily. Specialty Groups are also assigned and are specifically designed to address individual needs in the group. Group therapy will be broken down into the following categories but additional categories may be added as needed:
- Substance Abuse
- Attachment
- Grief and Loss
- Self Esteem
- Anger management
- Music
- Life Skills
- Pornography Addiction
Individual therapy is done on a weekly basis but possibly more depending upon the student. This is assessed on an individual basis.
Will my son ever leave campus?
Is Liahona Treatment Center a Substance Abuse Treatment Facility?
What if my son has not tried drugs and I don’t want him to be around kids who have?
While some of our Patients may have been introduced to harmful substances, a lot of them have not. We separate the issues by dealing with the substance abuse counseling in a separate group so that no “War” stories are being shared. We do our best to isolate the issues to the Patients dealing with them. The culture of Liahona is not typical in the sense that the Patients commonly talk with one another about their past issues with substances. It is not a topic that is allowed to be discussed outside of therapy for this exact purpose. To date, we have not had drug free Patients enter the program, only to leave with curiosity and willingness to experiment. Quite the opposite occurs. They become much more inclined to deny the peer pressure when the moment arises in the future.
