Sending my daughter to Life Quest was an incredibly difficult choice. She had lost her respect for her family and herself. She was skipping school and being deceitful and dishonest to everyone. She was not putting forth any effort in participating appropriately in any aspect of her life. Life Quest's model of starting from nothing and earning everything you get was instrumental in showing her just how much she had at home...not just material things, but the caring and loving family that many of the students there did not have. The program showed her how to think for herself and gave her a new found confidence to choose the right path as well as other critical life skills she needs to be successful in life. She would not listen to those lessons at home, but in the very structured and limited access environment at Life Quest, she could finally see how important those were all along. Rachel is amazing and communicated with me probably more than she expected to, but my daughter was in someone else's care, and this mother needed frequent and thorough communication to help ease the separation and worry. Rachel never once made me feel unimportant and truly had my daughter and my best interests at heart. The positive changes my daughter has made are very encouraging and we could not be happier to have our sweet and wonderful daughter back.

My daughter attended Life Quest because we were out of options and didn't want to revert to unnecessary medications or an umbrella diagnosis. Life Quest made such a positive impact on our family. My daughter received a much needed non-therapeutic reset coupled with coping skills and good schooling. I was impressed with the communication from the directors and appreciated how well the staff balanced daily care while also ensuring accountability for the actions of the girls. I am so thankful that we found Life Quest!

The staff tried everything in their power to help our daughter. We are extremely grateful for the help and support they provided our family during our daughter’s 3 month stay. Ultimately she proved she was just not going to let them help her. Only when it started to negatively affect the other students were we asked to remove her from the program. Nothing but respect for the staff and program. Highly recommend.

Well, my story is not a typical program success story. It was rough, hard, and totally my fault. It didn’t have a happy ending. I went to Quest to calm down and learn life skills before transitioning into every day life after leaving another residential. While there, I got involved with the wrong people which led to a suicide attempt. They handled the attempt appropriately and took me to the ER. There I was assessed and brought to a inpatient hospital in Salt Lake City. They gave me another chance, which I am grateful for. Then after two months, I self sabotaged and cut myself and went back to the ER. Then I went back to my old residential. Why I failed this program is not the fault of the program or the leadership because Boomer and Rachael are incredible people and amazing leaders who are finding their way in a brutal and often unforgiving industry. In treatment, the patient has a choice. I chose wrong at Quest, but chose right elsewhere taking the lessons that I leaned about life and death and becoming a better person. I’m alive today because of the quick thinking of Jannette. I’m afraid I don’t know her last name, but because of her I got to have the chance to graduate high school and go to college. Because of Boomer, I now face my fears. Because of Rachael, I now know the true consequences of my actions. Because of Tanner, I tell the truth. Because of Lizzy, I laugh my way through life. I did that anyway, but now I do it more appropriately. If you’re wondering why there are so many bad reviews, they’re people less mature than me posting reviews in emotional spots. I said earlier that treatment poses questions for the family as well as the patient or recipient. For the family, am I willing to grow along the way? Do I have the courage and compassion to hold boundaries? For the patient or recipient, do I want to change? Why? What am I willing to give up in order to change? Anyway. I give this 5 out of 5. Only after I gained the maturity and wisdom to handle it. Wow. This was longer than I expected. Sorry. Thank you. I hope you choose right. Stay in the arena!

DO NOT send your child to this facility. As a student coming from Life Quest, these people do not care about your children at all. Medical diagnosis (depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts) are not taken serious and if you try to bring the attention to a staff member, they will either 1.) tell you it’s a choice 2.) don’t do anything about it. You are not able to freely express your emotions at this facility nor are you able to creativity express yourself. As a teen, growing up in this generation, this facility is not what your kids need. It will only set them up for failure. I know this as a student who went to Life Quest for 10 months. They will manipulate, lie, and try to sweep incidents under the rug, that should be brought to the authorities attention. It is really sad that this place is still up and running, because no child should have to spend 10 months of their life in a facility that doesn’t care for their needs. This place needs some serious inspections.

I am a former student from Life Quest academy. And while I had been in treatment for almost 3 years, I am here to tell you that this facility is the one that helped me to change and to learn the most. I was full of animosity and sadness when I first got to Quest. In fact, I tried anything and everything to get out of it. But then I realized I had no where else to go. I struggled with the acceptance piece in my life. And this facility helped me tremendously to work on that.
I didn't like it at first. I'll admit, it's a lot of hard work. But I know that at least for me, I got to the point where I was writing my own story. I mean, when you think about it, do you want to be a simple character in someone else's story? Or do you want to take charge and write your own? I finally realized that, for the longest time, I had been letting other people take control of my life. I only have recently come to terms with myself, coming to accept my past, present and future for what it is. But in order to keep it going, I have to turn to the next page.
I ended up graduating the program after being there for 13 months. I also graduated HS there, which was something I could never have completed without the staffs help and support. Instead of looking at Quest as a burden or a punishment, I took it as a blessing in disguise. And I will forever be grateful to the support that I am still able to carry with me to this day. I know that I have a support system in my life, which is something I have always yearned for. And if you were to look at me from a year ago to today, I know for a fact you will see a completely different person.

I went to this program from June - October 2020. I was not satisfied with the conditions or treatment of my stay at all. The first issue I had with lifequest was the absolute false advertising. Before my stay me and my parents checked out the website and asked many questions. We were lead to believe that I would be going to a place equipped with licenced professionals in mental health, weekly meetings with a therapist, and therapy groups where I could really focus on turning my life around. Aswell as numerous fun opportunities that are rarely if ever truly presented to the students such as " lots of outdoors and hiking, riding horses," etc etc. The website will tell you it is a " safe, loving, caring, and home- like environment" but this is far from the truth. My experience in this environment was more comparable to being confined in a jail, or treated as an animal, where the goal is to make obediant and easy to control individuals. I was appalled at the ways students were treated. Instead of being treated as PAYING patients in this program, we were treated as animals. Sit where you are supposed to, don't talk, do your work, obey staff, etc. The main aspect of the program was the punishments. Demerits were like a slap on the wrist punishment, given for any number of small errors such as " leaving your water bottle in the wrong place ". While consequences are a punishment where you write a 1000 word essay, are penalized from any of the " fun " activities, and adding 2+ more weeks into your stay at this program, preventing you from moving up a level. Consequences were given out with no reprocussions, if staff felt like you needed one, you got one. The giving out of these consequences could be considered cruel and unusual, over the smallest of things. It truly felt like walking on eggshells. One staff in particular began, and most carried on to threaten us with these constantly, telling us "if you don't get in your rooms in the next 10 seconds it's a consequence" " if one person talks ( out of a group of 25 ) it's a consequence for all of you " " if you talk in the classroom its an automatic consequence" etc. These punishments were given over very minor things, it felt like all I would hear is the threatening of punishment against the students daily. Mental health issues of any kind were also addressed with punishment. If a girl hurt herself, or tried to end her life, instead of HELPING her, she would be handed several of these consequence essays, and put on " disciplinary" level. This meant that you restarted the program, were put in bright orange clothes, and forced to sit in a box, where speaking to anybody is prohibited. This went on for anywhere from days/weeks until staff felt you were ready to get off. This was extremely cruel, and I was appalled at the treatment of these individuals. At lifequest there was constant drama, and suffering because of the conditions of this program. I watched things happen that truly will leave an imprint on me for life. They would admit high risk individuals into this program, and when they began to struggle, they punished them extremely harshly. Not only were these individuals denied the mental health treatment they needed, but at times they put us other students in danger. I witnessed girls drinking chemicals, swallowing batteries, etc, who were denied any mental or physical treatment. All of the staff in this place we're mostly related, or close friends to each other, and non of them were qualified in any way to be running a " therapeutic boarding school " . Many staff members were college students just working to get by, by babysitting us. I experienced and witnessed the inappropriate and unprofessional treatment of students from staff. Free speech was very limited, phone calls were monitored and taken away from students for trying to tell their parents the truth. I wrote this long review to tell people what it truly is like, I hope that the owners read this and consider that they are taking peoples money, and damaging individuals that are ASKING FOR HELP. UNACCEPTABLE. PERIOD.

My experience working with the director and owner has been amazing. Rachel is truly a caring person who puts her all into helping the kids.
