Dedicated Mental Health Care for Teens
Mission Prep offers gender-specific programs where teens receive weekly individual therapy for focused attention, daily clinical mentoring to constructively address goals and work on setbacks, and biweekly family therapy for mutual healing among loved ones. This layered support helps teens learn to manage their mental health challenges by building trust, improving self-awareness, and repairing and strengthening relationships. Therapy is adapted to each teen’s developmental needs in a safe, supportive setting.
Frequent Therapeutic and Recreational Activities
Recovery at Mission Prep goes well beyond traditional therapy. Teens participate in weekly outings and enjoy activities like surfing, hiking, horseback riding, beach visits, and go-karting. These trips are designed to increase confidence, improve mood regulation, and encourage meaningful connection among peers. An experiential program 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.
Specialized Academic Support
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 crucial learning during their residential treatment. The program includes structured academic time with study support to help adolescents maintain their academic progress. Dedicated study areas and educational resources are available. This continuity helps reduce school-related stress and preserve self-esteem, easing the transition back to school after treatment.
Targeted Program for Technology Dependence
Mission Prep 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 evidence-based 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 start to build healthier habits.
