ADOLESCENT RESIDENTIAL SERVICES

The Adolescent Residential Program offers intensive treatment to provide adolescents with the knowledge and skills necessary to live drug-free lifestyles. The treatment structure includes individual counseling, group and family therapy, educa­tional groups, and recreational, social, and outdoor therapeutic activities. In addition, we pro­vide life skills, problem solving, and gender specific groups as well as activities that foster leadership and mentoring. Building on our history of developing innovative services, the Adolescent Program now augments traditional treatment approaches with equestrian therapy.  The facility is located on a 40+ acre rural site that gives multiple opportunities for experiential therapeutic activities that are age appropriate and enhance recovery.
