Your Financial Resources
Adoption Assistance Program (AAP) Funding
The State of California provides treatment funding for children who have been adopted through the California foster care system.
As a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization, Zion Hills Academy is eligible to receive this funding.
Medicaid Insurance
In many cases, Medicaid will cover your child's treatment costs. Most states have coverage available if your child meets their necessity guidelines.
Eligibility requirements vary by state, but will likely include a psychiatric evaluation and testing.
Adoption Assistance Program Funding (AAP)
Zion Hills Academy works with many adopted children and their families. If your daughter was adopted through the state of California's adoption system, AAP may be a financial resource available to you, even if you live outside of California currently.
What does AAP Cover?
In most cases, AAP funding covers the monthly rate for the child's entire stay for up to 18 months. When behavioral and clinical needs require additional treatment, there are usually renewal terms available.
What Are My Costs?
- Routine Medical Care
- Routine Dental Care
- Routine Orthodontic Care

How Do I Access This Program?
Out of state placement funding is managed and approved at the county level through the child's caseworker. Contact your caseworker to start the approval process.
Medicaid Insurance

Chase was very fortunate to start in this industry as a struggling 17 year old kid looking for a mentor and something to be passionate about. Wilderness therapy was Chase’s first stop in this industry and was truly a transcendental experience for him. Chase has an enormous love for this line of work and the power that it has in creating change in everyone involved. Chase’s biggest belief is the power a mentor, strong, healthy relationships, and accountability can have on anyone, especially youth. Taking a very relational approach to his work, Chase has always been very relatable to the students he works with. Being able to understand and relate to a vast variety of the same struggles as a lot of the students he works with has been able to help him continue to grow, learn, and teach. Chase believes that with great rapport and trust, he can use his experience to continue to coach and train new staff, and has the ability to find those staff with the passion for this industry, and help them grow. His love and passion can be felt the moment you talk with Chase about this industry and he passes that on to others he works with. In his spare time you will find Chase cheering for the Eagles, Yankees, and Mavericks, hanging out with his brother, learning more about Eastern Psychology, and continuing to grow and learn.
