​At the facility, young males (ages 13-18) receive many therapeutic services. Residents receive individual, group, and family counseling. They are active in anger and behavior management. Foothills Academy’s approach to treatment is a team concept. It is their belief that everyone – from counselors to line staff, and maintenance personnel – are responsible for helping these young men turn their lives around. Foothills also believes in instilling a sense of pride in their residents. This is achieved by teaching their residents independent living skills. Each resident is responsible for doing their own laundry, cleaning their house and rooms, taking part in physical training, and maintaining the beauty of the campus.

Foothills Academy engages in many community work projects. The residents have picked up trash on littered highways, cleaned up old cemeteries, and routinely completed many other community projects. In addition, there are numerous recreational opportunities that are provided to residents for enrichment and the development of social skills. Basketball and volleyball are regular activities in the full size gymnasium on campus. Softball, outdoor volleyball, camping, fishing and lake activities are provided during the summer months.
