FORT WORTH, Texas — July 21, 2026 — Clearfork Academy is marking 10 years of providing behavioral health treatment and support to adolescents and their families, reaching an important milestone in its work with teens experiencing substance use, mental health, and co-occurring challenges.
Since its founding, Clearfork Academy has focused on helping adolescents navigate difficult periods in their lives while providing families with access to structured treatment and professional support. The organization provides residential and outpatient programs for teens, with services that address substance use and behavioral health needs.
The milestone comes as families continue to face complex challenges related to adolescent mental health and substance use. For some teenagers, these concerns can occur alongside anxiety, depression, trauma, family difficulties, or other emotional and behavioral challenges, making access to appropriate care an important part of the recovery process.
Clearfork Academy’s treatment approach is designed to address the individual needs of each adolescent. Its programs include residential treatment, outpatient care, therapy, and family involvement. The organization also provides medical detox services when clinically appropriate and offers virtual intensive outpatient programming.
Supporting Adolescents and Their Families
Clearfork Academy’s work is centered on the understanding that adolescent recovery involves more than addressing substance use alone. Teens may need support in developing healthier coping strategies, improving communication, managing emotions, and rebuilding relationships with family members.
Individual and group therapy are part of the treatment process, while family participation can help parents and caregivers better understand what their teen is experiencing and how they can support recovery at home.
The organization also provides a structured residential setting where adolescents can step away from some of the pressures and triggers of daily life while receiving ongoing professional care.
Located in North Fort Worth, the Clearfork Academy campus sits on 80 acres overlooking Eagle Mountain Lake. The setting provides a structured environment where adolescents can participate in treatment while receiving support from trained professionals.
A Focus on the Road Ahead
For parents, recognizing that a teenager may need professional support can be difficult. Changes in behavior, substance use, emotional health, school performance, and family relationships can sometimes indicate that additional help may be needed.
Clearfork Academy encourages families to seek information and professional guidance when they have concerns about their teen’s well-being. The admissions team can help families understand available programs, complete an assessment, verify insurance benefits, and discuss the next steps in the treatment process.
As Clearfork Academy reaches its 10-year milestone, its work continues to focus on helping adolescents address behavioral health challenges and giving families access to resources that can support recovery.
The organization remains committed to providing treatment that considers the needs of the individual teen as well as the family environment surrounding them.
