Clear Water Heights Youth home was established in the early 1970's by Doctor C.J Davis and his wife Bethany Davis. The home was basically established due to rather personal reasons, see when C.J was growing up he had an older brother named Carver who suffered from a disorder now known as Bipolar disorder. His parents did not know what was wrong with him and kept him locked away in his room due to the fact that they came from a rich family and did not want their friends to him at all. Carver's life was shortly lived; when he was seventeen years old he took his life by hanging himself from the ceiling fan in his room. He was found by CJ who at the time was at the tender age ten years old. It was something that CJ could never forget at all. From that moment on he knew that he wanted to become a Doctor so he would be able to help people like his brother out when others would not.
In the fall of 1972 the doors to the youth home opened in Maine, for the first few years things were rather slow for them. Not many people knew about them so they had to rely on word of mouth and newspaper and special TV reports on the news. By the late 70's early 80's things began to pick up. Doctor Davis and his wife Bethany found themselves with a growing practice with kids coming from all over the country. Some of them were arriving due to the fact that their parents could no longer take any more of their uncontrollable behavior or by the authorities because they are either a danger to themselves or a danger to the people around them.
Over the past thirty six years Clear Water Heights Youth home has housed over a thousand kids from the ages of thirteen years of age to eighteen years of age. Here there is no turning them away, they are given the best treatment that you can possible find. Here they learn how to treat and control their condition, depending on what their condition maybe they may be allowed to attend the public school. If they are deemed unfit to be let out of the house they will be taught by our staff; graduates of college and have been through months of training for this type of work. Parents are reassured that their children will be treated with the out most respect and will not be discriminated at all unlike the outside world they aren't seen as insane here...here they are seen as being just different.
