Residential treatment at Kolob Canyon Residential Treatment Center is unique. Our clinically acclaimed residential treatment program is designed exclusively for girls ages 12-17 suffering from depression or low self-esteem. While behaviors vary, common issues treated at Kolob Canyon include oppositional defiance, self-mutilation, drug or alcohol abuse, eating disorders, parent/child conflict, suicide ideation, learning disabilities, adoption issues, or school failure. Our residential treatment program successfully helps many troubled teenage girls change behavior patterns and make better choices. This is done through a clinically intense blend of traditional and non-traditional therapy delivered in a safe and nurturing environment.

We believe there are numerous keys to our success. These include:

	Individual Attention. Kolob Canyon is intentionally kept small (12 beds) to maximize one-on-one interaction. Our student-to-staff ratios are excellent and our therapists have small caseloads.
	Single Gender. Kolob Canyon accepts only girls. This gives our program better focus and allows our girls to progress more rapidly.
	Clinical Intensity. Kolob Canyon is clinically intensive. Each week, girls receive 2-3 hours of individual therapy, family therapy (via the phone), equine or recreational therapy, outdoor therapy, and regular group therapy. This clinical intensity reduces the average length of stay - and the accompanying costs—to about eight months, or about half of the industry average.
	Clinical Diversity. Every girl is different. Kolob Canyon’s blend of therapies allows us to reach girls in different ways, greatly increasing the chances of a successful outcome.
	Qualified, Experienced Staff. All Kolob Canyon therapists have at least a Master’s Degree and many years of experience in working with female adolescent issues.
	Academics Designed to Boost Self Esteem. Every part of the program at Kolob Canyon is designed to change self-image. In school, for example, Drama is a required academic course because of our belief that girls need both applause and other people to rely on them. A foreign language and a course on Personal Leadership are similarly taught for therapeutic and not academic reasons.
	Natural Playground. Kolob Canyon’s program uses outdoor and recreation therapy to take advantage of our location on a horse ranch in Southern Utah’s canyon country.

With all of us working together, we are confident we will make a lasting and positive change on your daughter, on your family, and on your future.

Because information can give you piece of mind and help you to make better decisions, our professionals have created the Kolob Canyon InformationCenter. The InformationCenter provides information on numerous behavioral health issues like depression, self mutilation, eating disorders, ADD, drug or alcohol abuse, conduct disorder and more. Each page answers important questions on these conditions like:

• What is it?
• How do you know they have it?
• What causes it?
• What happens when you have it?
• How do you treat it?

Each page also has a section devoted to other websites that we felt would be helpful in helping you to learn more about your daughter's condition. To access the InformationCenter, click here or on the image below. click here or on the image below.
