Residential Treatment Center for Teens

Some teens might require immediate intervention for a crisis event. Our psychiatric team provides the acute stabilization support and care necessary for teens experiencing a mental health or drug-related crisis.

One-on-one talk therapy sessions three times per week allow clients to work with a psychologist within a safe, supportive environment. Some of our offered therapies used include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
• Dialectical Behavior Therapy
• Solutions Focused Therapy
• Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy
• Integrated Body Psychotherapy

To help parents and teens strengthen their connection, family therapy is a central focus of the residential program. Teens and parents learn how to better communicate with each other, and to also acquire a better understanding of healthy relating within the family system.

Teen group therapy features small group discussions among peers in recovery, led by a member of our staff. These group sessions allow peers to safely share their feelings and experiences, as our therapists help them understand their emotions and learn beneficial coping strategies in the process.

During treatment the student may require additional assistance with their schoolwork. To aid with this, on-site tutors and computer stations are provided for the teens. Academic support assures the teen will not fall significantly behind their peers at school.

If the teen has developed a substance use issue, they may require a medical detox at the start of treatment. Once the detox is completed, they will also be introduced to the helpful models of recovery support wehile learning to examine through evidence-based therapies the root causes of their initial substance use.

Teens are receptive to activities that engage all aspects of their being, which is why holistic and experiential elements are intrinsic to the program. Hiking, water sports, yoga, surf therapy, mindfulness, art and music therapy, and equine therapy keep teenagers fully engaged in their treatment.
