Lakeside Academy - Michigan (CLOSED)

Lakeside Academy offers a variety of treatment options for adolescent males ranging from 30 days to 18 months in duration. Located on a 50-acre wooded campus in Kalamazoo, MI, Lakeside serves youth from multiple states across the country. Lakeside Academy focuses on the confrontation and redirection of negative behavior, while recognizing desired, positive behavior. The Lakeside program places an emphasis on the responsibilities and choices each individual student makes and helps them to recognize that all choices have results of some sort, whether they are positive or negative. Through this process, the Lakeside program helps the student focus, first, on their present behaviors, then on the underlying motivation or precursors to such behaviors.
