About Clearfork Academy For Boys
Situated on a sprawling ranch in Fort Worth, Clearfork Academy is an outdoor adventure program that serves adolescent boys who are 13-17 years old. Their faith-based, therapeutic program and master’s-level licensed therapists provide substance use treatment and help for anxiety, depression, and other primary or co-occurring mental health concerns. They provide a full continuum of care—including medical stabilization for withdrawal, residential treatment, intensive outpatient programs (IOP) available in-person and virtually, and a partial hospitalization program (PHP)—tailored to the teenage recovery journey.
Clearfork Academy addresses the physical, mental, social, and spiritual struggles of teenage chemical dependency and mental health, placing Christ at the center of recovery. Each module presents both a Clearfork core value—honor, unity, sacrifice, transparency, legacy, and fun—and a therapeutic modality that has stood the test of time. Individual, group, family, art, and music therapy help teens uncover the root causes of addiction, develop coping strategies, and build strong support systems.
Clearfork Academy’s 80-acre campus provides a safe, structured environment where teenage boys can focus on recovery. Overlooking Eagle Mountain Lake, its picturesque landscape rivals any ranch in Texas. Teens stay in shared rooms with shared bathrooms and have access to an on-site gym, pool, hot tub, ropes course, and boating on the lake. The young men also enjoy getting off-site for activities like paintball and CrossFit.
Clearfork Academy’s alumni program keeps teens and their families connected long after treatment. Weekly calls, quarterly events, and 24/7 access to support help foster community, celebrate milestones, and provide ongoing guidance. With their commitment to being available, Clearfork ensures alumni stay engaged, supported, and empowered in their lifelong recovery journey.
