Teen Treatment Programs
We Help Teens Get the Most Out of Life
Your teenage years are the core developmental years of your life. This is when you develop habits, form opinions, find your passions, and seek out role models. You have unique needs. Your brain works differently from your parents’ brains. You care about things that adults forgot about years ago.
We help teenagers to address these needs in a way that restores family relationships instead of further straining them. Our comprehensive and individualized methods can achieve the highest rate of success because we address issues while clients are still in their developmental years.
What Teen-Specific Care Looks Like
There are a lot misconceptions and stigmas around what treatment and recovery encompasses for teenagers. We have designed an evidence based curriculum that is specifically geared towards teens. We have dedicated our lives and our organization to helping teens get the most out of life.
Online Treatment Programs
Our Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers the same programming in-person, but all online. Ideal for those who live too from a center, have transportation issues, or health concerns that make in-person treatment challenging.
Our Approach to Teen Treatment
The very first thing we do when helping teens is find out what they care about most. We want to find common ground with them, so we’re both working towards something. For some, that may be academics, for others it’s relationships—whatever it is, we find it, then work towards it.
Getting the Family Involved Early & Often
We believe family counseling is a critical part to a teen’s successful recovery. We require parents to be involved in our program. Our family therapists help the entire family system connect in a safe way to resolve family conflict and build a stronger foundation.
Using Fun & Experiential Treatment
We believe teens are wired to learn through fun and exploration. Our programs include various experiential therapies such as art therapy, yoga, physical activities, and outdoor adventures to help teens become their happiest, healthiest selves.
Helping With Academics
We make academic success a priority. When you feel successful in school, you have a greater sense of control and experience less family conflict. Our academic and vocational advisor works with each teen to develop an individualized plan to get them back on track with school.
Dealing With Co-Occurring Mental Health & Behavioral Needs
Often teens struggling with drug and alcohol use also have underlying mental health or behavioral disorders such as depression, anxiety, or personality disorders. Our clinical team focuses on helping the teen and their family identify and improve these underlying concerns.
Establishing a Positive Friend Group
It is normal and healthy for teens to be focused on peer relationships. Sometimes this can get misdirected, and they can form community around unhealthy interests. We support teens in building positive relationships based on real connection and fun.
Our Commitment to You
We can’t change teens. We can’t change families. But we can give you the motivation, tools, steps, and community so you can begin changing yourself.
We want you to know we see you; you are not alone. We want to get to know you and begin building a genuine relationship with you―the real you.
We want to understand the details of your situation. In order to help, we listen to your story. We’ll ask questions to understand what you care about.
We believe deeply that you are important and have value. Because you have value, you’re worth our time and our attention to help you move forward.
We will tell the truth. We believe truth builds trust, so we always start with the truth—and there’s never shame in telling the truth. We won’t just tell you what you want to hear.
We will involve your family, and hold them accountable, at every stage of the treatment process. We won't focus exclusively on you.
We will always do what's in your best interest. Even if it means sending you to a different organization for help. We won't put our interests before yours.
Our Continuum of Care
We provide a full spectrum of treatment programs to meet your unique situation and needs.
Parenting is Not Easy
