The Benefits of Teen Treatment
A comprehensive mental health and substance use treatment program can help your teen heal from issues that are creating obstacles to his or her ability to live a life of balance, peace, and productivity by providing:
- Detox and medical stabilization that addresses withdrawal symptoms and health issues

- Treatment for mental health and substance use disorders to ensure steady progress on all fronts

How You Can Help Your Child Succeed in Treatment
Your participation is crucial to your teen’s progress in rehabilitation. There are a number of things you can do to make sure that you are the support you want to be in your child’s recovery, including:
- Learn all you can about your teen’s drug of choice, addiction information, and treatment options as well as any mental health issues he or she has been diagnosed with
- Take part in our family support groups
- Actively participate in family therapy with your teen
- Be available when your teen wants to talk, or initiate the conversation
- Be a positive role model
- Take care of yourself, your relationships, and encourage other members of your family to do the same
Family Therapy Is Essential
Your involvement in our family therapy program will not only help your teen as he or she works through issues but also aids you and other members of your family in moving forward and healing after living with chaos at home. Without your participation in family therapy, your teen will make far less progress during treatment and after returning home. Family therapy offers:
- A safe forum for all to vent frustrations
- An objective bystander to guide conversations
- Therapeutic advice and assistance
- Help improving communication skills
- Goals and therapeutic movement toward family goals
