“Elk Mountain has literally given me a “clear view” as to what life looks like when I apply myself; stay in my higher self. I’ve learned with the help of staff, in importance of organization and how it can be applied to all aspects of life. Gosh, I don’t know how a year has come […]

“Elk Mountain has helped me more than I can express! I came here with so many issues that I didn’t even know about, and some that I just didn’t want to admit were true. I was a liar, I stole, and I had a bad relationship with my family. I showed emotion through anger, self-harm […]
