When extreme behavior is putting your teen’s future and health at risk, it may be time to look for a more intensive solution to give your daughter the intervention she needs. At Havenwood Academy, we have developed a specialized program created to help troubled girls learn how to identify their triggers and patterns of negative behavior and implement healthier coping methods and confidence. Issues like substance abuse, defiance, depression, sexual promiscuity and crime can have lasting impacts if they are not handled correctly and we offer a supportive and loving environment with some of the safest and most effective care available. Our facility is in an ideal location for healthy outdoor activities as well as the secure and structured environment your teen needs to focus on what is really important.
For questions about our facility and the specific ways we may be able to help your teen move forward, call us at 1-877-830-7012 for a consultation.
Why Should You Consider Us?
After spending many years making poor decisions, teens sometimes give up trying to improve, believing that they are just “bad girls.” We know how damaging this mindset can be and we focus on ensuring that our students understand that they are more than the choices they have made. We provide challenging activities as part of our therapeutic approach and have found that girls that are able to build confidence in themselves and their abilities thrive more. We have been able to help hundreds of girls turn their lives around and we believe that each teen can access their great potential with the right type of guidance and environment.
We feel that quality care for your girl shouldn’t come at the expense of your savings or her college fund. Most facilities require private payment, which can be hard on families that are already under great strain. We are pleased to accept some insurance plans because of our type of accreditation. This also means that we can offer more therapy than many programs. We are happy to help you figure out whether your plan qualifies.
Issues South Dakota Teens Face
There are many temptations associated with adolescence, some of which require expert help to overcome. For instance, among teens in South Dakota:
- 7.5 percent use illegal drugs
- 21 percent abuse alcohol
- 3rd for juvenile suicide
- Over 2300 youth were arrested in 2008
- 83 percent of teens graduate from high school
If you are feeling discouraged that your efforts to help your teen haven’t resulted in any changes, we want you to know that some teens are unable to receptive to help when they are distracted by the triggers and temptations of daily life. Our facility is safe and structured and our staff specializes in helping teens recover in a way that motivates and challenges them.

Chase was very fortunate to start in this industry as a struggling 17 year old kid looking for a mentor and something to be passionate about. Wilderness therapy was Chase’s first stop in this industry and was truly a transcendental experience for him. Chase has an enormous love for this line of work and the power that it has in creating change in everyone involved. Chase’s biggest belief is the power a mentor, strong, healthy relationships, and accountability can have on anyone, especially youth. Taking a very relational approach to his work, Chase has always been very relatable to the students he works with. Being able to understand and relate to a vast variety of the same struggles as a lot of the students he works with has been able to help him continue to grow, learn, and teach. Chase believes that with great rapport and trust, he can use his experience to continue to coach and train new staff, and has the ability to find those staff with the passion for this industry, and help them grow. His love and passion can be felt the moment you talk with Chase about this industry and he passes that on to others he works with. In his spare time you will find Chase cheering for the Eagles, Yankees, and Mavericks, hanging out with his brother, learning more about Eastern Psychology, and continuing to grow and learn.
