About Abraxas Academy – Morgantown
Abraxas Academy is a secure residential treatment program for delinquent boys. It’s located in Morgantown, Pennsylvania, which is off the Turnpike exit 298. They take a trauma informed care approach that keeps in mind your past and how you got from point A to point B.
Their programs begin at grade nine. Youth who have been admitted have a history of sexual offending behavior or offending behaviors.
They use a Sanctuary Model of Care, which is used with the trauma informed care approach to provide a safe environment for your healing. This model is also commonly used to care for most delinquent youths who need help. Another modality they use is cognitive behavioral therapy. This is pretty commonly used because it helps you find the negative thought patterns and tries to change them to more positive ones.
Those who have gone to this facility have mentioned that the programs are not the most helpful but the staff is incredibly kind and cares about the kids.
