                                                                                            Nationally accredited with the Joint Commission of Accredited Hospitals and Organizations (JCAHO) since 1974, we are ideally situated to provide a therapeutic environment (milieu) for boys who are struggling with emotional, behavioral, academic and social issues.
                                                                                            The heart of our philosophy is to make residential treatment a gratifying life experience which enables a child to live successfully in the community with others.

                                                                                            • Close, personal relationships pull children back to healthy relationships. The child must develop trust in order to grow. 
                                                                                            • Life should be gratifying.
                                                                                            • A child must feel safe to risk both relationships and changing. 
                                                                                            • Treatment should be a re-education in living.
                                                                                            • Strengths and potential should be emphasized with each child.

                                                                                            "I think Ben's time at the lodge was life saving and life-transforming."

                                                                                            "Frank is a solid, caring, real person with great moral values which i attribute to the lodge experience."

                                                                                            "The lodge was wonderful-they saved Abraham's life and have been so supportive since he left."

                                                                                            "We have seen our boy emerge from his self-created cocoon and rigid world into a boy who is increasingly capable, confident and flexible."

                                                                                            "The lodge did a remarkable job of helping Alfonso and he has wonderful memories of his time there."

                                                                                            "Although academics are still tough for Roger, he does his work!  He went from being a social outcast to being very popular."

                                                                                            "David's transformation has been Immeasurable."
