Adolescent-only treatment
Youth participate in residential treatment exclusively for ages 12-17. The program has a small population of about 22 to support individualized attention and supervision. Housing is gender-separated with dedicated living spaces. Treatment addresses both substance use disorders and mental health challenges at the same time with structured daily programming.
Integrated academic support
Coordination takes place with each teen's home school to help maintain academic progression, with dedicated school hours in place from 9 a.m. to noon. Education is built into treatment, and there is a full-time educator on staff. This helps clients receive the intensive care they need while also working toward their academic goals.
Family involvement throughout treatment
Family involvement is built into treatment, with parents receiving weekly updates on the progress their teen is making. Dedicated family therapy focuses on communication, conflict resolution, boundary-setting, and rebuilding trust. This helps manage family dynamics that affect substance use. It also gives parents the tools they need to support recovery after treatment is over.
Creative therapies and recreation
Creative and experiential therapies, as well as recreation, are a part of daily life. Art and music therapy provide the chance to express emotions through painting, drawing, sculpting, and other creative activities. These opportunities are used to build confidence, teamwork, discipline, and social skills.
Home-like Hudson Valley setting
The facility is located in a home-like, wooded campus with separate residential buildings. Rooms are shared with one same-sex roommate. Clients have access to chef-prepared meals and access to outdoor recreation and nature-based activities.
