Admissions

Alldredge Wilderness Journey accepts students, ages 13 through 18, on a rolling admissions basis. We operate year-round and are licensed by the State of West Virginia. All applications submitted are reviewed by our Admissions Director and clinical staff to determine if candidate is appropriate for our program. Acceptance into the program is based on a comprehensive review of the student’s application, including a behavioral history (current and past), medical history, psychological testing (if applicable), and parent/guardian consultation. We will admit students equally of race, color, or national origin.
