This place made me lose my identity due to their abuse and demands. You had to put on a fake mask just in order to leave. Control control control. If you ever think about sending your kid here, keep in mind they could have a lifetime of trauma. I have reported this place to all my therapists I had to see after leaving. I was sent here for bad grades, but left with trauma and eating disorder and substance abuse addiction.

I would have given this place zero stars, actually there is no 5-star rating system that can describe the damage this facility has on the youth who were either taken in the middle of the night and forcibly taken there (with the parents permission; however I do not entirely fault the parents as they were sold a fake bill of goods as well). What gives me the authority to write about some "behavioral modification" facility in Utah? Well, I am in my late thirties now, but was once one of those kids taken in the middle of the night and delivered to Utah. The only thing that saved me from doing something terrible at that time was knowing that these abusive facilities could only legally hold someone until they were eighteen years old. That meant I had to just take the abuse for nine months and then I would be out. It took years of different therapeutic modalities later in life to come to terms with what happened to me there, and I was definitely one of the most average kids there. An example for those wanting to know what I mean by abuse would be when I was locked in a "room" which had just enough space in it to fit a small mattress. I was not allowed to wear socks or shoes (this was part of their "flight risk" protocol), and I stayed in this locked closet for three months. This is one of many, many ways I describe as abusive, and I think anyone who has any humanity would objectively agree with this label. It was horrible to watch kids that were 15-16 years old get abused physically in front of me and being powerless to stop or interfere with anything. The cadre were all the size of Utah State football players, and treated the kids they were tasked to help in the most sadistic ways. It is difficult to explain the magnitude of what this does to the adolescent brain at such a formative age, but journal articles will demonstrate it leads to an extremely low sense of self, and a dramatic rise in suicidal ideations and suicides. If I were a patient/youth/abused child/etc. there and was 14 years old, I can easily understand why that may seem like the only option out of the constant abuse. Parents, please, look at the reviews and read them in their entirety. I would not have written this much if I didn't hope that seeing through all of the lies and deception of LRA meant saving even one child from going there. On my eighteenth birthday, I remember walking the exit hallway (which I hadn't seen since I entered nine months ago) and seeing the staff acting like the ones who should be attending, as they demonstrated the sadistic personalities and traits that LRA claimed to "treat". If anything, when I joined the Army later on it made the 4-month boot camp seem like nothing. I had been so accustomed to being screamed how worthless I was by the LRA cadre that when the drill sergeants did it, it wasn't something that elevated my heartbeat. Logan River Academy messed me up for some time (obviously during, but also after I left) and I am lucky to be alive writing this. I had closed and sealed away all of this trauma in a deep locked box inside my head, and it only came out accidentally when I was receiving treatment for PTSD for incidents that happened in the Iraq war. I left LRA in 2004, and after two decades to find out this disgustingly abusive facility that lies to children's parents, abuses autistic kids, and is a primer for being in prison, is still in business. There was a restructuring here, a restructuring there, but when there are so many websites for the victims/survivors of LRA and similar institutions, it is abhorrent to know this facility still exists with the same name. I don't know what "positive" changes occurred during these multiple restructures, but the fact that the name remains the same means nothing has changed. Please, do not send your kids here if you want them to live a healthy productive life.
