Six Outstanding Programs on One Exceptional Campus

We have six treatment programs located on one 55-acre campus. This structure allows us to provide specific, customized care for our students in their individual program while still offering the best facilities to the whole campus. Students have access to significantly more resources than any other school.

In most therapeutic boarding schools, students must give up much of the high school experience in order to receive treatment. But not at Diamond Ranch Academy. Our program offers it all! A world-class facility, competitive team sports, events, clubs, social groups, arts, drama, and more, along with the best therapeutics.
