Clearfork Academy LLC

Clearfork Academy offers two outpatient levels of care tailored to where a teenager is in their recovery: an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for those who need structured, frequent therapeutic contact, and a standard Outpatient Program for adolescents stepping down or maintaining progress. Both tracks are built around the reality that most teenagers benefit from staying embedded in their home environment while receiving treatment — not isolated from it.

Serving Fort Worth, Carrollton, and Cleburne, the center gives families across the DFW metroplex access to a dedicated adolescent substance abuse treatment program. The 24-hour operating schedule means the center remains accessible for families managing the unpredictability that often accompanies a teenager's early recovery.

Recovery for a teenager rarely succeeds without the active involvement of their family. Clearfork Academy's Family Counseling services and signature Family Intensive Week reflect a treatment model that treats the family as a partner, not a bystander. Parents and siblings gain tools and understanding that carry beyond the structured program, reinforcing the recovery environment at home.

After completing their program, alumni stay connected through the center's Alumni Program — a community element that extends the peer support network into long-term sobriety. For families researching aftercare options and ongoing recovery community resources in the Fort Worth area, this built-in alumni connection is a meaningful part of what distinguishes Clearfork Academy from general outpatient providers.

Substance use among teenagers rarely exists in isolation. Clearfork Academy is equipped to treat co-occurring disorders and dual diagnosis presentations, including trauma and PTSD, anxiety, and depression alongside substance use. The clinical team employs both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR Therapy — two distinct modalities that together address the behavioral patterns and underlying trauma that often drive adolescent substance use.

Individual Therapy and Group Therapy round out the clinical structure, giving teens both one-on-one therapeutic relationships and peer-based processing in a setting where everyone in the room is an adolescent facing similar challenges. This dual format supports the kind of connection and accountability that sustains recovery beyond the program itself.

One of the practical barriers families face when seeking outpatient addiction treatment for a teenager is the disruption to schooling. Clearfork Academy addresses this directly with a licensed education program on-site, allowing students to keep pace academically while engaged in their recovery program. This feature reflects the center's understanding that a teenager's life has to continue — not pause — during treatment.

Clearfork Academy accepts private insurance, TRICARE, and self-pay or cash payment. Families who are active-duty military or veterans covered under TRICARE will find the center is equipped to work with that benefit.
