Woodward Academy provides residential treatment for male youths who are adjudicated delinquent or CINA. It offers programs that redirect delinquent or negative behaviors toward positive, socially acceptable patterns by introducing students to a normative culture and delivering behavioral and cognitive change through structured treatment services. The facility operates in a safe, controlled environment and is accredited by The Joint Commission. Its goal is to help students learn, develop, and apply skills that guide them toward positive futures. How it differs from competitors: it combines a normative culture model with comprehensive residential treatment and accreditation to ensure consistent, structured support focused on long-term behavioral and cognitive change rather than short-term interventions.
