Embodying Compassionate Care in Residential Treatment
At SunArch Academy, we concentrate not just on the medical aspects of mental health care, but equally on the compassionate care that truly facilitates healing. Our comprehensive approach to evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment is delivered by a diverse team of experts who genuinely care about each resident recovery.
Our multidisciplinary team of professionals is united in their commitment to providing personalized, empathetic care. Every individual in our care is at the heart of what we do, and their recovery is our utmost priority.

High Standard of Care
Our services are the best you will find and we’re continually reaching for the next level. We have board certified physicians, licensed therapists and RNs to care for our residents.
Consistent Communication
Involving a resident’s family in their therapy and treatment is key for a successful outcome and recovery back into the home and community.
Integrated Learning
At SunArch Academy, we integrate an accredited education program, based on the respected Apex curriculum, into our residential treatment. Our teens commit five to six hours daily / five days a week to academic activities, creating a balanced routine that supports their recovery while ensuring continuous intellectual growth. This tailored educational approach seamlessly pairs mental health care with academic progression.

Comprehensive Approach
