Clearfork Academy | Girls Campus - Cleburne, TX

Faith-Based Treatment for Teen Girls

Clearfork Academy’s Girls Campus is one of the few faith-centered residential treatment programs for adolescent girls in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Designed for girls ages 13–18, the program combines licensed clinical care with a Christian foundation. Weekly Bible study, Sunday church services, and a values-driven structure support spiritual development alongside addiction recovery and emotional and behavioral healing.

Tailored to Teens with Complex Needs

Clearfork is dedicated to treating teens with both substance use and mental health challenges. Offerings feature comprehensive mental health assessments, integrated co-occurring disorder care, and trauma-focused programming. Detox services for substances like alcohol and opioids are coordinated through affiliated medical providers—a rare offering for adolescent programs in the area.

Deep Family Engagement

Family therapy is a core part of the experience. The program emphasizes parental involvement and offers structured family counseling sessions. This focus helps families rebuild trust, improve communication, and develop tools to support their child’s recovery long after they leave the facility.

Support for Academics and Essential Life Skills

Girls continue their education on campus with a tailored academic plan that reduces stress about falling behind in school. The program also includes daily life skills training, job-readiness preparation, and structured peer activities that foster growth, independence, and a sense of belonging.

Supportive Admissions and High Structure

Admissions are typically available without long wait times, which can be crucial for families in crisis. The 14-acre campus offers a safe, highly structured residential setting with long-term care options.
