NSI Academy is a private, non-profit program offering residential treatment and educational services to adolescents with behavioral and emotional problems. They serve male and female students ranging from ages thirteen to eighteen. Typically the students they enroll have problems with one or more of the following issues: substance abuse, mood disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, ADHD and may be adjudicated delinquent.
NSI Academy was founded in 1991 in Sheridan, Wyoming. It is currently owned by Sequel. Carolyn Willandt, Executive Director has over 20 years of experience working with adolescents in acute and residential programs. Michelle Knight is the Director of Admissions and has been with NSI in various roles since 2003. NSI Academy is licensed by the Wyoming Department of Family Services as a residential treatment center, accredited by the Joint Commission on Behavioral Health and certified as an Adolescent Substance Abuse Treatment Facility by the Wyoming Department of Health, Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services Division. The school is fully accredited by the Wyoming Department of Education, NCA (North Central Association) and the California department of education.
The program is located in the foothills of the Big Horn Mountains in Sheridan, Wyoming on a campus of over 300 acres. There are six main residential sites on the large, rural campus. Four are for males, two are for females. All students participate in individual, group and family therapies, providing students and their families with therapeutic and academic goals and interventions according to their individual treatment plan. NSI Academy's work-preparation program introduces students to hands-on training for later employment opportunities by offering accredited vocational classes. NSI Academy's programs offer a full range of athletic opportunities, including intramural and interscholastic competition. Boys' sports include football, basketball, track, baseball, softball, ice hockey, and cross-country running, while girls have the opportunity to participate in basketball, track, volleyball, baseball, and softball.
