It is crucial to fully understand the magnitude and underlying factors behind your son's compulsive sexual behavior in order to find effective solutions and provide the support he needs. Oxbow Academy provides the most comprehensive evaluation possible for teenage boys with sexually inappropriate behavior. This procedure takes approximately 90 days and involves:
- building a safe and secure therapeutic bond to support your son as he lets go of shame, embarrassment, and secrecy as he starts to rebuild trust with you.
- occurs in a separate residential and clinical community, due to ⅓ of our students who are deemed to not need sex-specific treatment.
- Teenage boys are given age-appropriate sexual health education that helps them understand the thinking errors, legal ramifications, and the root causes of their problematic behaviors.
- A complete sexual history and therapeutic disclosure, verified with a clinical polygraph. Please note that a clinical polygraph is used for therapeutic purposes only, and is different from a traditional polygraph.
- A Psychosexual Evaluation, conducted by an independent psychologist, who uses an accurate and comprehensive summary of our evaluation and treatment Plan to provide parents with:
- a student's Sexual Behavior Risk Assessment (SBRA)
- unbiased recommendations for treatment placement
- an individualized treatment plan for their son

- Weekly individual therapy sessions
- Weekly family therapy sessions
- Daily group therapy, equine therapy, experiential therapy, or community focus group sessions
Helping Your Child Successfully Re-enter the Real World After Treatment
During the last 1-3 months before graduation, Oxbow students may be given the option to transition to our Independence House. This allows the young men to encounter the realities of daily life while still receiving the support and guidance of our treatment program. As they enter this stage, they are granted privileges like heightened levels of personal responsibility and access to electronic devices.
For students to safely transition to life after treatment, it is crucial that they develop positive coping skills and attitudes to replace any negative behaviors. This is vital for their overall success. Using the Good Lives model, our therapists guide students in:
- identifying their strengths
- setting goals for the future
- and rekindling a sense of hope
Your son's future starts to brighten and he begins to feel hopeful and on track towards achieving his goals.
Every student’s transition process is individualized to their unique needs. Depending on their treatment plan, each student’s transition may include:
- A final Sexual Behavior Risk Assessment (SBRA) to demonstrate reduced risk & suitability to return home
- Practicing home visits
- Establishing rules, boundaries, and safety guidelines for the whole family
- Relapse Prevention Planning
- Empowering parents and family members with the necessary skills to navigate reunification, allowing them to thrive in the future.
- Greenwood testing to assess their job interests and talents, enabling them to gain a better sense of direction in their lives.
