Focused Treatment in a Small, Supportive Setting
The center limits enrollment to just 29 teens at a time, creating a close-knit and attentive environment. With a one-on-one staff-to-client ratio, the program is designed for personalized care and daily connection. Each teen follows a structured routine that includes therapy, schoolwork, meals, and recreation—balancing therapeutic work with downtime in a manageable rhythm. Designated therapy spaces help maintain a safe and focused atmosphere. This setting allows staff to build meaningful relationships with each teen and provide consistent support throughout their stay.
Comfortable, Teen-Centered Amenities
The thoughtfully designed environment is tailored to adolescents and their needs. The facility features separate floors for male and female residents, ensuring privacy and comfort. Clients have access to private or semi-private bedrooms, communal lounges with televisions, and spaces for individual and group therapy sessions. The center includes a fitness area, art therapy rooms, and outdoor spaces for fun activities and reflection. Nutritious meals are prepared on-site, accommodating various dietary needs. Educational sessions are held in well-equipped modern classrooms.
Academic Support That Preserves School Progress
A structured academic program is designed to keep teens on track with their education. Students attend school for two hours Monday through Friday, with classes led by certified teachers who coordinate with each teen’s home school or district. This ensures coursework aligns with their grade level and credit requirements. The curriculum focuses on core subjects like math, English, and science, with added support for executive functioning and time management. The goal is to reduce academic disruption and ease the transition back to school after discharge.
Care for the Entire Family
The family program is a central part of treatment, built on the belief that recovery is most successful when families heal together. The program includes weekly family therapy sessions, parent support groups, and frequent updates to keep caregivers informed and involved. Therapists use evidence-based models like structural family therapy and attachment-based approaches to address conflict, rebuild trust, and improve communication. Families are given tools to better understand adolescent development, co-occurring mental health issues, and how to support recovery at home.
Structured Aftercare for Long-Term Success
Discharge planning begins early. Staff build a personalized aftercare plan that supports each teen’s transition home. Plans often include referrals to outpatient individual and group therapy, academic support, psychiatric care, and step-down treatment as needed. The care team coordinates closely with families and local providers to ensure services are in place before discharge. Teens leave with relapse prevention strategies, ongoing therapeutic goals, and a support network to keep them on track. The center also offers follow-up calls and check-ins, helping teens and families stay connected and supported during the critical months after residential care.
What Patients and Families Are Saying
Reviews reflect life-changing experiences for many families. Teens report learning how to manage emotions, communicate better, and make healthier choices. Parents praise the team’s communication and the visible progress in their children’s confidence and well-being. Some concerns were noted around disorganization or medical oversight in complex mental health cases, but most reviews reflect a high level of trust and gratitude for the program’s impact.
