Teen-Centered Continuum of Care
Both residential and outpatient care are offered to meet teens where they are. Residential treatment typically lasts 30–60 days, combining psychiatric care, medication management, and daily therapy sessions with academics and fun activities. Teens can then step down to outpatient programs as needed. Each client’s treatment plan begins with a detailed assessment that considers medical history, mental health, and social environment. Facilities are designed to allow adolescents to step away from daily stressors and focus on recovery.
Academic and Life Skills Support
Programs are built for education to continue uninterrupted. Licensed teachers and tutors provide accredited instruction adapted to each student’s needs. Lesson plans are informed by neuropsychological assessments, school transcripts, and parent input. Standardized test preparation and individualized academic plans help ensure progress toward graduation or college readiness. Teens also gain vocational training and life skills support such as managing technology use. For older adolescents, the program offers college application guidance and career exploration.
Focused Family Therapy
Family involvement is central to the center’s approach, with therapy sessions designed to repair and strengthen parent–child relationships. Clinicians use Attachment-based family therapy (ABFT) in order to address communication issues and build trust. Support groups and educational workshops are held to provide tools for conflict resolution, boundary setting, and emotional regulation.
Transition and Long-Term Recovery
Before discharge, care staff help clients and families build personalized aftercare plans. These may include extra help with school reintegration and referrals to community resources. Teens and families often continue therapy sessions after treatment, supported by ongoing contact with clinicians. The Alumni Program provides access to peer groups, online forums, in-person gatherings, and family workshops.

Quality and Trust
Trust Score
A simple A–E grade that offers a quick view of how much confidence you might place in a facility. It’s not a guarantee of quality or outcomes, but a data-informed tool to help guide your search. More on our methodology.

How we research treatment facilities
Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
