There are few things more challenging, more painful than not knowing how to help your child. We are…read moreso grateful that our journey led us to the team at Kolob Canyon RTC. Our daughter spent 18 months there and she will unabashedly share that it was the worst experience and best experience of her life. (Hashtag dialects! ) Let me be clear; this is a FAMILY experience. What we learned as parents during her time at Kolob is arguably more important than what she learned. Do not expect your child to heal if you are not prepared to acknowledge your part in your child's suffering and to relearn how to respond to your child's needs. Even the most well meaning parents are unwittingly reinforcing patterns, overfunctioning, validating and accidentally exacerbating a thousand other unhealthy habits. I considered myself a well-read, engaged, GOOD parent. But I wasn't parenting in a way that actually helped my child. Kolob's milieu is focused on safety, growth, reflection, and accountability. Our daughter entered the program at the end of her rope and graduated a healthy, resilient young adult ready to begin her life. We entered the program as terrified, exhausted parents and graduated as an empowered, prepared, better-informed team. To be clear, one does not drop their child off in Utah then pick them up 'fixed' a year later. Our daughter came home ready and prepared to continue her therapeutic journey that may very well be lifelong. We welcomed her home ready to continue our family journey with a continued commitment to family- and individual therapy, to regular, honest communication, to holding each other accountable and a perpetual openness to feedback and growth. No RTC is a panacea but rather an opportunity to hit the reset button, to safely begin the course toward a meaningful, fulfilling life. It's an expensive button to be sure. But worth every penny. There's a lot of talk about 'trauma' experienced in treatment centers. THIS IS UNAVOIDABLE. But there is a serious difference between trauma *experienced* in treatment vs. trauma *inflicted* in treatment. Our daughter definitely experienced trauma while at Kolob. She spent her 16th birthday in another state. We moved to a different state while she was at Kolob, bought a new house without her input. Most kiddos spend a holiday there without their families. Our daughter witnessed the breakdowns/breakthroughs of other residents. In group therapy she heard first account experiences of unthinkable pain. She faced her darkest emotions head on, dredged up her own intensely painful memories while there. This is all traumatic. All these traumas were experienced in a safe, structured environment surrounded by competent, committed, capable staff. This is VERY different than *inflicted* trauma. M worked hard at Kolob. She rose in the dark of bitterly cold winter mornings, lugged buckets of water for horses, shoveled hay, mucked stalls. She did dishes, cleaned bathrooms, helped prepare meals, washed her clothes. She also kayaked, skied, painted, camped, hiked, volunteered, traveled, laughed, and played a thousand games of wii Dance, Dance Revolution. Seriously. A thousand. Kolob functions under the simple premise that effective behaviors get us what we want, ineffective behaviors don't. We are responsible for identifying which is which and we are entirely in control of which we choose. Every single check, balance, reflection, activity, consequence, reward drew a clear, concise, consistent line back to this principal. And it is a principal our family applies to our life every single day. I said at the beginning, there are few things harder than considering residential treatment for one's child. The *hardest* thing, however, would be burying a child, which is exactly what our family, all the families we met and love from Kolob, would have endured without it.

I was there for almost 1 year and it helped me so much, before I was in another facility but I…read morewouldn't accept the help so they ended up sending me to RHR. At first I was kinda anxious but the staff helped me warm up to this place. There were a couple incidents where I would get into a lot of trouble but the staff always found a way to calm me down even if it was just to take me to the animals. They made sure we were fed three times a day and we had two different snack times a day, and they logged how much we ate every meal to make sure we were getting enough nutrients in our body. They helped me with my anxiety, anger issues, ODD, ADHD, and all of my trauma issues I had. At first I wasn't sure I was going home ever again because I just got sent from one facility to another but RHR changed my mind and helped me improve my mental health. I may not have graduated but I got to go home instead of going to another facility because of how well I was doing. The equine therapy is great, they assign you a horse as a project and you do equine with them, learning more about yourself everyday. I had a horse named Woody, he is a pony, he was a pain to deal with and I never thought I was going to get to get a higher horse because I wasn't able to control him but then I acted like he was me and he started to work really great with me. In equine they ask us questions at the end about how we can do better in equine and in our groups, how can we improve ourselves. They also have us imagine our home lifestyles and what we did wrong, and how we can do better. They assign horses based off of our personality, so I got Woody because he was stubborn and so was I. I started to learn how my own parents felt dealing with me, they didn't send me to the ranch because they didn't want me they did it because they loved me enough to send me somewhere to get better because they wanted me to be happy and safe. I know that sometimes it is hard to find the right place for your child but to me this was the best experience I have ever had, so I would really encourage you to check this place out because I wouldn't be where I am without RHR and there faculty. If anyone has any questions you can email me at gdawnb09@gmail.com and I will answer any questions you have. Best Regards, Geraldine

I wrote a review a bit ago but it seems to be gone. This place saved my life. At first, it is scary…read morebecause you don't know anyone but after a bit, they become your second family. The staff are great. I love the staff and horses. The main photo I actually me and Titan. I graduated almost 2 years ago and my lock screen is this very photo. When you get there it can be overwhelming. If you were there when I was there, you would probably know me due to my lack of ability to get up in the morning. But the staff and peers motivated me. If a certain staff is still there, she wakes everyone saying, "good morning ladies! It's ____! Up and att em." sometimes they would add a little motivation and reward saying breakfast is first come first serve. I have never seen so many kids get in a line faster in my life! You are never judged. You can take self-time I it gets too overwhelming. You also do school there. While i was there, I was faced with challenges. But, they never gave me one I could not handle. Equine is one of the best moments of the day. After first, if could be hard with not knowing the horses, rules, or routines. But someone always catches you up to speed. I had Titan as my first project horse. He is a big softy. (Literally) he makes everything a bit easier and teaches you to get comfortable in the uncomfortable. Next i had mamma Dixie. I call her mamma Dixie for 2 reasons: 1. She literally is the mother of 2 horses jet and scout. 2. Because she pushes your buttons but in a good way. She taught me how to keep my boundaries healthy and how to assert them. Next i had Sundance. He unfortunately passed due to cancer. He was a stubborn old boy. He taught me how to stay on top of things and stay focused. Lastly, I had Piper. I hated Piper with a passion and was not affraid to show it. But, as much as i hate to admit, she taught me how to let go of grudges. Yes, it's still there, but because I only worked with her for about a month. I have a few staff members in mind but I don't know if they want me to share names. My RA was my main girl. She gave me everything I need: clothes, hygiene products, pep talks, and sometimes a "your thinking about it too much Audra. Let it go."And my mamma goose. She was the one who was literally your other mother. She always knew how to keep you on your toes, and keep you safe, happy, and calm. Ask her for Mambos. Best candy in th world. And my therapist. She did her job but kept our conversations interesting. We would go on a walk in the back and pick up cow bones from our neighbor, look at the plants, and even just walk in silence because that's what we wanted to do. I'm scared of silence. And she would often tell me to sit in silence for a minute. She knew things about me nobody else knew and she could somehow always know what I'm talking about even though I talk 30 miles an hour. She taught me how to speak at a normal pace and bite my tongue when needed. Next is a staff i know is not there anymore because he left when i was there. Somedays were so full of chaos that he would pick up a guitar, sit in the courtyard or kitchen (wherever we could all hear him) and play it and sing. I have felt a room go so relaxed so fast. He would often use it as motivation saying if we finsished on time or calmed down he would play. It always worked. The peers also taught me things. Patience, boundaries, trust, respect for myself and others, how to get along with my siblings, and how to function with other people living with me. They taught me when I actually wanted space or when I just wanted someone to sit with me. We learned coping skills from eacother and reminded me that we all have different situations with the same overall goal: be healthy,happy, safe, confidet, and more. This place was my home away from home and I'm planning on VISITING soon. I recommend this place for anyone struggling.

The…read morepictures they post on social media only consists of the highest level of girls who get special privlages, there is no other kinds of pictures of the girls who were struggling just to live another day. On their website they claim to have "A no level system" which is a lie, there IS levels and when you first come in you aren't even allowed to have your own clothes, they degrade you by putting you in sweatshirts and sweatpants with big letters so everyone knows your on a lower level then them and they gave you zero enrichment or anything entertaining to do and seperated you from others, If you were on that level. They also claimed to not have a point deduction system which is also a lie, maybe by some miracle they decided to change it but when I spent my time there they would deduct points for every little thing. A smaller thing to mention is they claim to not be a rehabilitation place but made us do Twelve-Step books as if we were in a rehab. These lies are only the tip of the iceberg. During my time, they housed a very sweet severley mentally handicapped girl who hadn't showered and didn't know how to manage her hygine, the staff ignored her and left it to us to help her, we lost sleep trying to help her shower and trying to untagle her matted her which resulted in us getting punished. They tried to cover up many suicide attempts and girls who did try were punsihed harshly instead of getting they help they deserved. They don't help you, they take troubled girls and give them more problems and punish them for trying to manage their stress as teenagers. There was some nice staff that I can remember and I made close bonds with girls that I still keep in touch with and majority of the girls that went here can all agree this place is a facade and a nightmare. When I came back home, I couldn't sleep for three months and woke myself up screaming from the nightmares. The leveling system was degrading and ripped any dignity I had of myself. I went to the Academy looking for a way to get out of my troubled home, learn from bad choices. I wanted and needed the guidance and honestly looked foward to a helping hand. But of course that wasn't at the "academy" at all, I came home stripped of my sense of self and felt dissociated from reality for months on end. In my time there, they also had "private" journals you could write in as they said they would never look through them, this is also a lie. They invade any basic rights to privacy and punished me for writing about feeling depressed and lonley at the academy. Many of the girls that were once sweet when they came, turned scared and timid as I witnessed it in myself as well. They also don't tell you all of your personal items will be confinscated once you come, no pictures, stuffed animals, personal blankets, makeup, nothing. Being in that place had made me feel dread I had never even thought could be felt before, I felt less than human. I had to see a therapist regularly to help me be able to socialize and get over my constant night terrors. Girls here have had to clean up blood from those who tried to slit their wrists with broken glass. If you were "really bad", they would put you in a cold dark room, make you wear an orange jumpsuit like a prisoner and keep you in that room for roughly 2 weeks, you also had to drink water from the sink and someone would watch over you 24/7 with the door open so you had no privacy. If a girl was in here, she couldn't talk to anyone, not even the other low levels or look at them, they were the most seperated and treated the most cruely. A lot of the staff like to remove points or hand out "consequence essays" for the smallest accidents or mistakes, sometimes, it wouldn't even be a mitake, this might be a stretch but I'm sure some of the staff got some kind of sick pleasure from making all of these girls feel on edge and paranoid about every move they make. I have always been apprehnsive about using the word "hate" towards someone because I believe that's a really strong word, but I cannot describe how much hate I have for Boomer (the owner), who runs the whole scam, he's sick man for making vulnerable torubled girls into hollow shells of themselves. As much as I've been healing from this experince, the feeling of dread and dehumanization and the fact that this place still runs,lingers... So many young girls have been psychologicaly destroyed because of this place. Parents, please don't leave your daughter here, they will take your money and bring your back your girl hollowed and depressed. There is plently of places like this in Utah so do your research. It's been years since and I still feel dread thinking about the abuse of these girls and how it's still continuing. . If you were a girl who went here and your reading this, my heart goes out to you, you are not alone. Sincerely, Eden.

The instructors were so kind, atmosphere of the school was beautiful. Here are some things I didn't notice about it that I wish I would have noticed at the time I was attending. The prices for service were just as much as a normal hair salon. There weren't a lot of walk-ins so we didn't get that much hands on experience with clients on the floor. BIG We were lucky if we got one client a week so majority of the time we worked on mannequin heads. They also didn't let us experience color ratios/mixing and being in the back bar or the receptionist areas. When I did have a client in my chair (most of the time it was my family members to come support me) and I would do a haircut on them it was like pulling teeth to have an instructor come check my work. They seemed annoyed when I asked for help. They didn't teach me to make sections when it comes to doing haircuts they always showed me to start in the middle with a big section and to slowing follow the guide towards the crown of the head. They barely focused on the things we needed to know to pass the state boards. It felt like we needed to teach ourselves how to do haircuts, color, perms, shampoo sets, facials, waxing, pedicures, manicures, etc. Looking back I wish I would have attended Evan's Hair School because they get way more experience with walk ins and their prices are much cheaper. It's been a rude awakening with working in the hair industry fresh out of school and after being a sahm for 10+ years and feeling absolutely clueless as to what I'm doing. This hair school is also very very expensive so that also is so frustrating to feel like this after spending all the money and time here.

Overall, I'm so happy I chose this certification program.
