Turnabout / Stillwater Academy is a year round program, and can accept new students at any time.
Acceptance is based on a combination of a review of the student's current and past history of behavior, and consultation with parents and/or professionals.

Turnabout gives teens the chance to step out of their destructive patterns, make a choice to change for the better, make good decisions, experience real success, develop healthy relationships, and then move back into a new & better life that many of them may have not dreamed possible.
