I had been searching for over a year for a place for my son. After much thought and prayer I decided on Triumph. When it was time to bring our son we talked with the staff for several hours and I knew we had made the right decision. They were so thoughtful and caring, they listened to our concerns and took time to talk to my son as well. We all had a lot of concerns and questions and they were more then willing to answer them all. I love the approach they take with the boys. They have phase work and things they accomplish and pass off in the time that they are there. One of the things the boys can choose to do is raise and train therapy dogs. They can also play rugby. I like that they go hiking and do a lot of outdoor activities. We get weekly calls from a staff member to update us on his progress we also have been able to talk to our son twice a week as well as do therapy with him online twice a month. We can send him packages as well. Soon he will be able to do home visits since we live relatively close. My son had been to 2 other short term places before this and they were very clinical and felt like more of a lock down with no program to really help him not only with his addictions but also with coping skills and other types of therapy. The other 2 places he would beg and cry ever day to leave and escaped out of one barefoot in winter. With Triumph he has not only gotten clean but he is learning and growing tremendously. Although he misses home he has never begged to come home and he cares about the staff and many of the boys there. He knows he is learning a lot and grateful he is there. He has expressed that he knows he is in the right place. None of these facilities are cheap but this one is far more affordable than many of the places I looked at. One thing I really appreciate is that most people find this place through word of mouth. I did not like that in my search of a facility I felt like I was being sold to. Many places you can tell spend a lot of money on their marketing to make a place look better than it really is and in the mean time they can charge 15k+ a month. I felt like I couldn’t really know what kind of place my son was going to and that it was just another money making operation which a lot of these places are. Triumph is not a posh place nor does it feel like a prison. It’s a humble place with staff that genuinely care for the boys. It’s a smaller group than a lot of the places which I really like. I wanted my son to get the attention that I felt like he needed. I hope this review can help another parent like me who is desperate for help and looking for a place they can trust will take care of their children but also help them through their struggles and help prepare them to be able to come back home and lead happy productive lives.

My son just graduated from the program after 10 months. He returns to us restored to the boy we used to know—kind, respectful, happy and loving. He was angry and willful when he arrived there and has learned to control his emotions through day to day interactions with counselors and peers. The owners are individuals who are hands on and involved. It’s not run by the state or some faceless corporation. My son said he never felt physically, mentally or emotionally abused. They get the kids out in the community, involving them in service and fun activities they probably never had opportunity to do at home. They’re not shut up in some day room locked down, like another program our son was admitted to before Triumph. This program has given us hope. We’re just starting out again after a long absence from home, but we feel Triumph has given our son a chance again at life.

As a youth there the deception and lies to parents were unbelievable not to mention many occasions they gave us moldy or expired food but I did learn and grow a lot but that doesn’t excuse the fact.

Heath Bohrer here, got sent here by my parents who had good intentions and thought it was as advertised. Unsurprisingly due to the fact that all the information comes from an outdated website that isn't regulated and cannot be fact checked, most of it is wrong. They said health codes were up to standards despite the fact that I swept a dead mouse out from under the fridge, which was solid from how long it had been there. They believe in punishing the group for one person's actions, there is no freedom of speech or religion, you're guilty until proven innocent (not to mention guilty by association), and the higher ups such as Daniel Gladden will lie to your parents to try and minipulate them. I had a psychiatric evaluation done which found that I had high functioning autism, and recommended that I attend a college prep school that specializes with such people. Fun fact, on my way to visit one of the campuses right now. My parents, hearing this, decided that I should come home and start looking at schools, however dan and the "treatment team" pushed against this for quite some time. When my parents finally said that they had no say and they were pulling me, they gave in. My parents informed me that I was coming home. Not shockingly, Dan told me that this was all his idea, and he had looked at several schools for me to go to and he's really happy for me. Fat cap. Once I was home I talked to my parents about this stuff, and they found a bitter humor in it. Once they told me their side, my only response was "ah, classic dan." Another fun dan story, he put one of my friends on run risk, because he refused to do his phase work that dealt with drug problems because he believe he didn't have any, as well as identifying his higher power, that he didn't believe in. They claimed they weren't sure what kind of headspace he was in. Right. Back to some of the program flaws, all of the staff and admin press on you to live your habits, however they themselves can't even follow them. The only thing that can make this place work are the staff who do care about you, which is few, and the support of your friends. People such as John, Sean, AJ, and James are the reason I was able to live day to day in this emotional hell and keep a somewhat positive attitude. The sweet irony of their emotional treatment is how they say they don't want you to bottle up your feelings, but saying anything negative about the program - which could be as simple as saying "this food sucks," - you have to serve 4 hours, sitting in a desk, facing a wall, and not talking to anyone. Realistically it's much longer than 4 because you can only serve hours after 3 P.M. and hours don't count during dinner or any other time you're out of your desk. I could go on forever, but I'm sure no one made it this far, and all of the parents about to send their kids here will only look at the positive comments, hoping to affirm their decision and boost your confidence. If by some chance a parent is reading this, keep this in mind; this is your kids life, and if they don't want change you cannot force it on them, and secondly, talk to your kid. Approach them about this idea and look to find solutions together. I promise we're often times more willing and rational than you give us the chance to be.
