Our Mission
As some teenagers grow, they acquire various beliefs, behaviors and self-statements that are faulty and distort the truth.
These beliefs and behaviors contribute to the feelings of fear, sadness, and anger which produce a behavioral response of addiction, self-abuse and mood disturbance.
Our mission is to help teens examine and replace faulty beliefs and behaviors with positive and healthy alternatives.

Client Testimonials
Dr. Joy & Mr. Lewis,
I want to thank both of you for everything. I truly do believe this program works. It has helped me in many different ways. When I first got here I was reluctant to think this program was going to help me, but after a few days I learned how helpful and affective it is. I am leaving here with a whole new view on life. Thank you guys so much for making this program possible.

Dear Adolescent Growth,
When I got here I thought it was going to be hell, but when I settled in it wasn't that bad. This was a good experience for me and it was really beneficial. The groups are informative and you learn a lot from them. I like my therapist a lot and I think she helped me a lot through this whole program. Adolescent Growth is a great program and I hope the people that come here learn as much as I did. Thanks Adolescent Growth. I feel like a better person.

Dear Adolescent Growth Team,
If it wasn’t for Adolescent Growth and this amazing second chance at sobriety and a successful life, I do not doubt I would have ended up in jail or dead. Thank you.

Dr. Joy and Mr. Lewis,
Thank you so much for the help you have given us. We have both made a complete 180 since we have been here. We came into this program filled with resentment, but as the days came and went, we realized how much fun we were having! What a surprise! Who knew you could have fun in rehab? We may regret our bad decisions but we do not regret coming here. We cannot say thank you enough for the hard work you two put in. We cannot say thank you enough for the hard work you two put in. We can honestly say you, and this program saved our lives.
Sincerely,
A parent and a client
Dear Adolescent Growth,
Thank you for allowing me to be in this program. Although I felt that I did not need to be here 30 days, I learned a few things. Being here put me in a better mind set than where I was before. I exercised and became more fit, I made some new friends, and most importantly, I learned that life is precious and we shouldn’t take it for granted. I always knew this but it never really stuck with me. Now, I will always remember it. I learned to cope with my depression and I resolved things with my parents. At first, I thought I wouldn’t get anything out of this facility, but I did and I’m thankful.
Parent Testimonials
I wanted to thank you all for the help, strength and support you have provided in this very difficult time in our lives. Our daughter is doing well, however, I do know that the road is long... we will make it! Thanks again.

I have very good feelings about the changes I see in my granddaughter. It means more to me and my son than you can imagine, that you went out of your way to work with us. I will always be grateful to Adolescent Growth for giving my granddaughter the jump start she needed to begin to re-align her life. Thank you again for everything, and you John Lewis for working so hard.
~ Tom
Our daughter has learned to communicate more effectively. She also has learned to take responsibility for her actions. My husband and I learned to have much higher standards for our daughter's behavior and to hold her accountable. The staff at Adolescent Growth was very caring, loving, and helpful.
~ Debra
Thank you for all that you do. We do appreciate you & your wonderful program Adolescent Growth. I have highly recommended your program to my insurance company and would to anyone else needing the support that your team offers.
Love, peace and health.
~ Joyce
When staff spoke with my son and confirmed his words to us, ("No more flim flam", I believe was what they said) they gave us hope. We were exhausted and feeling like we had completed our work for the day. Funny, but we were not looking ahead at that moment. Hard to believe, I guess but we were whipped! Hope came when we were doing the intake work and progress was already being made with Max! He wasn’t even admitted yet! Please thank Mr. Lewis for us. He did indeed, bring hope (and we didn’t even know we needed it!) That from my husband... a man of few words and not noted for complimentary commentary!

Dear Adolescent Growth,
I think it’s important to hear that I appreciate all you did to help my daughter during her time at your facility. I hope this will be a sign of hope to many of the other parents who’s teens are currently at Adolescent Growth. Things aren’t perfect… no family is but things are so much better and she now has hope for a brighter future without drugs.
~ A happy parent
