Silver State Adolescent Treatment Center

Residential Mental Health and Substance Use Treatment for Adolescents

Silver State Adolescent Treatment Center offers structured residential care for adolescents ages 11 to 17 navigating mental health concerns, behavioral issues, and co-occurring substance use. Situated on a secure property, the program provides 24/7 supervision from licensed clinical staff and psychiatrists. With a gender-specific and trauma-informed approach, care is tailored to each teen’s emotional, academic, and behavioral needs.

Integrated Clinical and Holistic Therapy

Teens receive personalized treatment grounded in evidence-based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). The program also incorporates holistic elements like mindfulness, yoga, music, and art into daily schedules. Specialized therapies, including relational trauma repair and attachment-based family therapy, help teens process trauma and build healthy relational skills.

On-Site Schooling Through Silver State Youth Academy

Education remains a priority throughout treatment. Licensed teachers provide individualized instruction aligned with each student’s grade level and academic goals. The on-site Silver State Youth Academy ensures that teens can continue their education while in care, with support for tutoring, testing, and school reintegration after discharge. This academic continuity is especially critical for teens struggling with school avoidance or academic decline due to mental health symptoms.

Family Therapy and Involvement

Family involvement is a central focus. Weekly or biweekly family therapy sessions aim to repair trust, improve communication, and prepare for life after discharge. Families also participate in multi-family groups and psychoeducation workshops that offer guidance on parenting teens with complex behavioral health needs. For families who request it, optional spiritual support is available to help teens maintain religious practices during treatment.
