Mission Prep Teen Treatment

Age-Specific Care Designed Just for Teens

Mission Prep Teen Treatment is built exclusively for teens ages 12–17, offering a mental health program tailored to their specific needs in a setting designed to feel more like home than a hospital. With six-bed residences in a quiet neighborhood, teens stay in double-occupancy rooms and are encouraged to bring personal items,including musical instruments and phones, to foster comfort and self-expression. This age-specific model ensures that care, peer connection, and activities reflect the needs and realities of teenagers.

Full Continuum of Care with Family at the Center

Mission Prep offers residential, outpatient, and telehealth treatment, creating a flexible continuum of care that adjusts with a teen’s progress. Family involvement is central, and therapy includes regular communication with families and support for relationships. The program also offers intake and discharge transportation, including pickup from local airports, helping reduce logistical barriers for families seeking timely care.

Academics, Emotional Growth, and Digital Balance

Education support is integrated into the daily schedule, ensuring teens don’t fall behind while in treatment. Staff provide academic advocacy and help teens re-enter school with stronger skills and confidence. Structured “Tech Time” groups help teens engage with their devices in healthier ways, especially important for those struggling with screen overuse. Social-emotional learning, peer interaction, and expressive therapies like art, gardening, and music reinforce skills that translate to real-world resilience.

Daily Life in a Therapeutic, Home-Like Setting

Each day at Mission Prep blends evidence-based therapies, individual and family therapy, psychiatric care, and skills training, with recreational and experiential programming. Chef-prepared meals, physical activity, and community outings like surf therapy and horseback riding support a whole-person approach. This holistic structure supports both emotional healing and everyday wellness.

Clinically Staffed and Connected to Hospital Networks

Clients are supported by a multidisciplinary team that includes licensed clinicians, case managers, experiential mentors, and on-call psychiatrists. The facility maintains partnerships with regional hospitals, providing additional safety and care continuity if hospitalization is ever needed.
