Sundance insists on a selective admission policy to maintain the positive environment we believe is necessary for personal growth and change. Often teens with negative behavior are unable to correct that behavior when entering residential programs that have high enrollments. Our enrollment of 16 residents at any given time allows for individualized and focused treatment of a variety of problems for boys 13-17 years old.
Expenses
We are a professional organization, and licensed as a Residential Treatment Center. We are a caring, family oriented facility, priced fairly. Our length of stay tends to be shorter than many other residential treatment centers. Sundance Canyon accepts payment in a variety of ways. Parents and professionals are welcome to consult with a representative from Sundance about private pay or insurance reimbursement.
