WHO DO WE SERVE?


SCA staff specializes in helping young adults with anxiety, depression, ADHD, high-functioning autism, and behavioral and chemical dependencies. SCA caters to young people transitioning out of wilderness programs or boarding schools and individuals who need hands-on support educationally, vocationally, and therapeutically. Our model is based on sober living, around-the-clock supervision, daily self-care activities, and emotional growth processing groups led by a clinical therapist.

ATTENTION TO DETAIL


SCA only accepts a maximum of five students at a time because we believe that attention to detail separates good from great. Our staff-to-student ratio allows us to foster deeper and more trusting relationships with our person - and meet them where they are mentally, emotionally, and musically. SCA staff provide around-the-clock supervision and personalized attention in order to maximize creativity and ensure safety.
