Once an adolescent has been admitted to the residential program, our treatment team specializes in working with each individual adolescent to develop an individualized treatment plan to meet his/her specific needs. Our exceptional treatment team is comprised of the following committed professionals: a medical director, licensed therapists, master’s leveled therapists, mental health specialists, educational counselors, the clinical manager, operations manager and consulting clinicians. The treatment team delivers a full range of clinical and educational services. Our program is designed to offer each adolescent a blend of traditional therapeutic services and new innovate clinically proven methods. The holistic plan includes psychiatric care, medication management, group therapy, academic instruction, milieu intervention, individual and family therapy.

Family therapy is one of the most important aspects of our residential treatment. We work closely with the family from the beginning of treatment, integrating the whole support system in the therapy process. Family therapy helps prepare the family to support the positive changes the adolescent has made in treatment and helps all of the family members examine the areas they struggle with. Without adequate intervention, families tend to repeat negative patterns of interaction that sabotage the gains the adolescent has made while in treatment.

The adolescent will benefit from a highly structured therapeutic milieu, which operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Each adolescent is responsible for maintaining the living environment and earning privileges through a graduated tier system. The environment is warm, comfortable, and structured. Structure in the program includes daily routines, community meetings, school, therapeutic groups and activities. All of the individual therapy, group therapy, milieu intervention, and family therapy provide our adolescents with the opportunity to have successful experiences, improve their self-esteem, and enrich social understanding.
