The foundations of Behavior Modification therapy are based on the work carried out by BF Skinner. He believed human behaviors could be changed through operant conditioning which was carried out through positive and negative reinforcement. At Turning Winds, we strive to help struggling adolescents come to the realization they alone must be responsible for their defiance and the course their life takes.
We have found no reward system can help the true change that wilderness therapy and residential treatment can. In the beauty of the great outdoors, our students learn more about themselves and the world around them. Through each moment of the day, they are grasping the skills they will need to live a sober life once they graduate from Turning Winds.
For true changes to occur, a system of positive and negative reinforcement must be put in place. Teens who have a dual diagnosis do not always respond to these methods of treatment. Unfortunately, some teenagers simply make changes during the conditioning aspect of therapy and are unable to learn the skills they need to experience true change.
At Turning Winds, our dedication centers around empowering adolescents to bring about enduring changes in their lives. This transformation is nurtured through a range of enriching educational experiences offered every day. From the tranquility of hiking amidst natural beauty, engaging in dynamic classroom activities, to the profound introspection of therapy sessions, our students are constantly encouraged to discover innovative ways to address long-standing behavioral patterns.
Maintaining an intimate student-staff ratio of 5:1, we ensure that every student receives the undivided attention needed to confront their unique mental health challenges. Our talented team of professionals spearheads the development of individualized treatment plans for each student. This personalized approach ensures they gain essential life skills and build resilience to navigate life’s complexities with confidence and grace.
Furthermore, we put a strong emphasis on character development, a pivotal aspect of our therapeutic approach. We believe that fortifying a young person’s character is key to empowering them to face and overcome the pressures they encounter daily. Our comprehensive program is designed to equip our students with the tools necessary to transform their lives, fostering not just survival, but thriving in their personal and academic journeys. Through our stellar academic program, troubled teens from Ohio are not forced to decide between continuing their education and pursuing therapy because they can receive both in our all-inclusive program.

Turning Winds is the optimal choice for parents in Ohio who are wanting a leading Academic Institute to give guidance for their struggling child undergoing drug abuse/addiction (including marijuana), depression, or anxiety. Since it can be difficult to work with highly resistant teenagers, most programs rely heavily upon level systems, punishments, and other disciplinary tactics in order to manage a teenager’s behavior. Here at Turning Winds, we recognize that the situation of one struggling child may not apply to all of our young students. As a result, Turning Winds is dedicated to meeting the particular needs of each adolescent with the utmost professionalism and compassion. Turning Winds’s counselors and field staff discourage the use of judgments and labels, and never condone one’s diagnosis to interfere with a at-risk adolescent’s sense of self or ability to form friendships with one another.
With decades of collective experience in the residential treatment center industry, our counselors can quickly identify and help substance use (including marijuana) issues, challenges related to anxiety, and the causes for rebelliousness. In short, Turning Winds knows how to support struggling teenagers with lasting transformation; and how to forge a new path for proper guidance and purpose in life. We are considered a leading Academic Institute, where we teach a variety of therapeutic intervention strategies (CBT, DBT, behavioral therapy) and outdoor recreation and adventure therapy that leads to a healthy, balanced life.
