Mount Pleasant Academy is a residential treatment center for males, ages 12-18, who are struggling with compulsive sexual behaviors or sensitive sexual issues and digital addictions. The average length of stay is 8-13 months or as needed.
Upon a student's enrollment a comprehensive Sexual Behavior Risk Assessment (SBRA) will be made based on student observation, history, bio-psycho-social evaluations and other assessments. From the information gathered, each student receives an individualized treatment plan that includes standard sex offense treatment and group, individual, family, and experiential therapy, which consists of equine therapy, animal responsibility and adventure based activities.
Through a positive peer culture, the young men at Mount Pleasant learn conflict resolution, allowing students to be creative in problem solving and using the power of choice, experiencing the positive and negative consequences that come with those choices. Peers help each other stay focused and hold each other accountable for behaviors. Other areas focused on include kindness, respect, dignity, anger management, positive communication skills, moral reasoning and accountability. Within this open and honest culture, students can talk about their issues without shame or guilt or secrecy and therefore there is less likelihood of negative acting out.
Recreational and experiential activities include basketball, boxing, flag football and other team sports. Once gaining the trust of staff and peers other off campus activities include bowling, camping, hiking and fishing, tennis and winter sports.
Mount Pleasant holds membership in NATSAP, IECA, US Dept. of Homeland Security and NAAS. Academics are accredited through the Northwest Accreditation Commission.
