Description:After a decade of operation and many years of research and progress, RedCliff's Wilderness Therapy Program has developed into one of the most recognized programs in the country. RedCliff is located in the beautiful red rock and high desert terrain of Southern Utah and covers an area of 650 square miles.

When RedCliff was founded in 1993, wilderness therapy programs were considered a relatively new treatment model. However, over the past eleven years, wilderness therapy has progressed to the status of a very popular treatment model for troubled teenagers. RedCliff has been a leader in the development of the industry. Participating not only in the development of operational standards for the state of Utah, but also with a national co-op of programs all sharing ideas for the betterment of the industry.

RedCliff employs some of the most qualified and truly genuine people in the industry. Over their ten-year history, RedCliff has enjoyed the continuity and stability of a dedicated leadership and management team with one common goal; "To help troubled teenagers and their families find a new beginning."

Student Profile:Battle alcohol and drug addictions, developmental and emotional disabilities, recovery from emotional and physical abuse, and those suffering from depression, ADHD, anger management, and family conflict
Academics:Although academics are not the primary focus of the program, each student will have the opportunity to earn some credit while here. An English/social science course, developed and accredited by a local University, has been integrated into RCA's curriculum. Completion of the phase books with a passing grade will guarantee a half credit towards English or social science. The curriculum also covers many hours towards the study of plant and animal life, geography and map reading, astronomy and physical education. In addition to the half credit of English/social science, RedCliff has been successful in transferring an additional one to two credits to schools across the country. Of course this all depends on the students academic effort and length of stay in the program
