Adolescent residential care that integrates education into treatment
Walter D. Kelly Residential Treatment Center provides 24-hour residential treatment for adolescents with substance use and behavioral health concerns. Most teens stay 3–6 months. The facility has an agreement with the School District of Palm Beach County; clients attend on-site school and continue working toward high school graduation while in treatment. Academic progress is considered alongside changes in substance use and behavior to measure success.
A wide range of treatments
Programming addresses both mental health concerns and substance use using various approaches, including individual, group, and family counseling. Treatment may include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), trauma-informed counseling, and A-CRA, a brief and intensive treatment that includes parental or caregiver involvement.
A structured program with a goal-based behavioral system
The behavioral modification aspect of the program progresses from orientation through Level 5. Teens set and achieve goals to move from one level to the next, reducing maladaptive or socially unacceptable behaviors and reinforcing positive changes. On- and off-site recreation provides opportunities for teens to improve social skills, focus on teamwork, and build self-esteem.
A broad treatment team and a focus on family involvement
Families are expected to participate in family counseling and parent and family groups as well as visits and other activities. Each client works with a primary counselor who manages the case from admission to discharge, working with members of a broader treatment team. These may include the medical director, program supervisor, a school representative, and other professionals.

View all facilities in ArizonaHow we research treatment facilities
Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
