About

White River Academy is a residential treatment center and therapeutic school for adolescent boys in Delta, Utah. Its current website lists the school at 275 W 100 S Road and describes programs for teen drug treatment, residential treatment, behavioral rehabilitation, and "troubled teen" services (White River Academy).

The school describes its population as young men and, on current program and careers pages, refers to residential male students ages 12-18. Public treatment directories describe White River as a residential program for adolescent males with substance-use, mental-health, and behavioral concerns, with schooling integrated into treatment (White River troubled teen program, White River careers).

White River's own contact page provides complaint information for The Joint Commission and the Utah Office of Licensing, including a Joint Commission HCO identifier. SAMHSA's 2025 National Directory of Mental Health Treatment Facilities lists White River Academy in Delta, Utah, as a mental health treatment facility (White River contact, SAMHSA 2025 directory).

Advocacy sources identify White River Academy as having opened in 2005 and include survivor and parent complaints about the program. Those complaints are attributed to public review and survivor sources rather than to adjudicated findings (r/troubledteens wiki).
