SunHawk Academy
Hurrican, UT

SunHawk Academy, a licensed residential treatment program for teens struggling with substance abuse and behavioral issues, has announced the completion of a new student computer lab and enhancements to its activities field.

The student computer lab is equipped with 15 new state-of-the-art computers. Students will have daily access to the lab, and be able to utilize the computers for school work and research. The new field additions include a basketball court, sand volleyball pit and a 1/5 mile oval running track. The field is three acres and also has a ropes course.

"Our students get outside every day as part of their recovery," says Jeff Johnson, Admissions Director for SunHawk. "This recreation field gives us a tremendous amount of versatility, and the new computer lab will be of great academic value to our students."

SunHawk Academy is one of the few long-term primary intervention treatment centers for youth struggling with substance abuse issues. The program combines an intense clinical intervention with individual and group therapy, accredited academics, and family development workshops to help teens ages 13-17 achieve and sustain sobriety and overcome behavioral issues. Grounded in a Twelve Step philosophy and a structured level system, SunHawk provides an environment that encourages teens to improve communication skills, academic performance and family relationships while living a healthy, sober lifestyle.
