Residential Treatment Center for Teens

If your teen is still struggling to manage their mental health despite outpatient therapy or medication, or if their ability to function day-to-day is significantly impacted, residential treatment may be the next step toward healing.

Some signs that residential care may be appropriate include difficulty maintaining relationships, falling behind at school, persistent feelings of hopelessness, thoughts of self-harm, or suicidal ideation.

At our Residential Treatment facility in Colorado, we provide comprehensive support for both addiction and mental health care in a structured, teen-focused setting. With 24/7 care from licensed clinicians and a peaceful environment designed for healing, your teen will receive the personalized attention they need to begin meaningful recovery.

The best way to determine whether residential care is right for your teen is to consult with a mental health professional. You can also speak directly with our admissions team — we’ll listen to your concerns, answer your questions, and help you take the next step with clarity and support.

Before starting treatment, your family will receive a detailed packing list explaining what your teen can bring and which items are restricted for safety. Some personal belongings, including certain jewelry, blankets, stuffed animals, and other items, may not be allowed.

Reviewing the packing list ahead of time can help make admission a less stressful process for your teen, and helps build trust between your teen and the treatment team.

If there are any items that are sentimental, or that you worry may not be allowed, our admissions team will help walk you through exactly what is allowed at the center. Call (888) 850-1890 to connect with one of our admissions representatives.

Each teen’s care team is made up of licensed professionals who specialize in teen mental health and addiction treatment. This includes a Program Director, Registered Nurses, Therapists, Doctors, a Discharge Coordinator, Medication Provider, and Family Therapist — all working together to support your teen’s progress.

You are already play an irreplaceable role in your teen’s healing process by looking for care that can get them the help that they need, but that role does not stop at the doors of our center.

Family involvement is built into treatment at Castle Rock. Parent, guardians, and loved ones participate in weekly virtual family therapy and Multifamily Group, where you will learn all about the skills your teen is working on week by week, connect with other families who are also navigating what you are going through, and better understand how to support progress at home.

You’ll also stay in close communication with the treatment team throughout your teen’s care so everyone can work toward a successful transition home together.

Yes, we offer medication management services as part of our Castle Rock Residential Treatment Program. These services help ensure that your teen stays on track with any prescribed medications. Please note that we do not offer medication-assisted treatment (MAT), which is typically reserved for detox settings.

You can begin by calling our Admissions Team at (888) 850-1890. We’ll walk you through every step of getting started with our Teen Residential Treatment Program, answer your questions, and help determine if it’s the right fit for your teen.

No. Personal cell phones are not allowed during treatment to help make sure the treatment environment is safe, private, and focused on healing.

Teens begin with a seven-day period without phone calls home, giving them time to settle into the program. After that, communication with family happens virtually through consistent scheduled channels.

Our team will walk you through the communication policy before admission so you know exactly what to expect and how to stay connected.

Teens receive individual therapy at least twice each week, along with daily check-ins and ongoing support from the treatment team.

Group therapy is also a central part of treatment. When your teen works with healthcare professionals in a setting with their peers, they get a unique opportunity to practice what they are learning, work through challenges, and connect with others.

Castle Rock is an open campus, not a locked facility. Our approach focuses on supervision, structure, and keeping teens engaged in their care.

If your teen tries to leave the program, our team follows established safety procedures and will communicate with you immediately about what is happening and what comes next.

Our admissions team can answer any questions you have about what those specific safety procedures look like in practice, and any concerns you may have about your teen staying in treatment.
