Dedicated Care for Adolescents

The center offers a gender-specific program where teens receive care for both mental health and substance use challenges. Programs include weekly individual therapy, daily mentoring to address goals and work on setbacks constructively, and biweekly family therapy for mutual healing. This helps teens learn to manage their mental health challenges by building trust, improving self-awareness, and repairing and strengthening family relationships. Therapy is tailored to the developmental needs of adolescents in a supportive setting.

Focused, Home-Like Setting

Housing consists of small, 6-bed residential homes designed to feel safe and welcoming rather than clinical. Teens share semi-private rooms, enjoy comfortable living spaces, and have access to outdoor areas for reflection and peer connection. Personal items, such as phones and musical instruments, are allowed under supervision, creating a sense of normalcy and independence during treatment.

Therapeutic Recreational Activities

In addition to traditional therapy, teens participate in weekly outings including activities like surfing, hiking, horseback riding, beach visits, and go-karting. These outings are designed to increase confidence, improve mood regulation, and create meaningful connections. An experiential therapy known as Rock to Recovery provides a fun form of music-based therapy. Personal training and boxing are offered to give teens a healthy outlet for stress, anger, and other complex emotions.

Academic Support During Treatment

Teens are provided with both focused mental health treatment and education to keep them on track with their studies and make sure they don’t miss out on learning during their residential treatment. The program includes structured academic time with study support to help teens maintain their academic progress. Study areas and educational resources are available. This continuity reduces school-related stress and helps preserve self-esteem, easing the transition back to school after treatment.

Targeted Program for Technology Dependence

The center offers specialized treatment for technology dependence, a growing issue among adolescents. The program addresses compulsive gaming, excessive screen use, and social media misuse through both therapy and lifestyle restructuring. By replacing screen time with outdoor activity, therapeutic engagement, and peer connection, the program helps teens build social skills away from screens, regain balance, and build healthier habits.
