Boys Residential Treatment in Fresno
Muir Wood offers residential treatment designed for adolescents with complex mental health needs—combining clinical structure, family involvement, and academic continuity to support lasting recovery. We specialize in primary mental health and dual diagnosis care, supporting teens with or without co-occurring substance use. Each teen receives a comprehensive assessment, allowing care teams to determine what support is truly needed rather than applying a predetermined path.
Our Auberry program serves adolescent boys who require a higher level of care than outpatient services can provide, offering 24/7 clinical support in a calm, home-like setting. The Auberry campus is set apart from urban noise and daily distractions, allowing boys to focus on healing in an environment that feels steady and grounded. Outdoor movement, natural surroundings, and a predictable daily rhythm help support emotional regulation and reduce overstimulation. This quieter setting allows clinical work to unfold with greater focus and depth.
Care is trauma-informed, individualized, and designed to help teens stabilize, build skills, and return home with greater capacity for long-term progress.
Most teens stay at Muir Wood for 45–60 days, with some benefiting from up to 90 days of treatment. Care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team of highly credentialed clinicians. Programs are gender-separate to support safety and focus, while care remains individualized, inclusive, and affirming of each teen’s identity.
Throughout treatment, teens remain actively connected to their families through structured family therapy, while parents and caregivers receive coaching, support, and ongoing collaboration with the care team—supporting continuity beyond discharge.
That work is reinforced by a daily rhythm of care shaped by the Auberry campus’s quiet, nature-forward setting. Set in serene, nature-rich surroundings in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada mountains, teens spend their days engaged in therapy, academics, and structured outdoor activities that support regulation, resilience, and self-awareness.
Evenings take place in home-like residences that allow space to decompress, reflect, and connect—so daily life itself becomes part of the therapeutic process.
Muir Wood Treatment Center Reviews
Auberry Campus at a Glance
Located in Fresno County, our Auberry campus is intentionally designed to support the clinical work of healing and stabilization. Situated in a quiet mountain community near Clovis, the campus is surrounded by trees, open land, and expansive views that create a sense of calm and containment. The slower pace and natural setting help adolescent boys step away from constant stimulation and reconnect with their bodies, emotions, and sense of self.
The setting is an active part of our clinical philosophy. Natural surroundings, daily outdoor movement, and thoughtfully designed spaces support emotional regulation and focus—helping teens settle more quickly into treatment and engage more fully in therapeutic work. This balance of structure and openness helps teens settle into treatment, engage more deeply in therapeutic work, and build momentum toward lasting change.

A Day in the Life at the Auberry Campus
Each day at the Auberry campus follows a structured, supportive rhythm designed to help teen boys feel grounded, engaged, and safe while building skills for long-term well-being.
Mornings begin with predictable routines that support regulation and focus, followed by academic programming and therapeutic check-ins to help teens start the day feeling supported and prepared.
Throughout the day, teens participate in a blend of individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy, supported by experiential approaches such as art and music therapy. These sessions help boys build insight, strengthen communication, and practice coping skills in a peer-supported environment.
Movement and outdoor activities are integrated into the daily schedule, including yoga, swimming, hiking, and gym-based fitness. These structured activities support emotional regulation, confidence, and healthy routines.
Afternoons and evenings may include therapeutic outings—such as ropes courses and seasonal activities—where teens apply skills like teamwork, problem-solving, and resilience in real-world settings. Evenings are intentionally slower-paced, allowing time to decompress, reflect, and connect in a calm, home-like environment before rest.
This consistent daily structure helps teens practice new skills in real time while feeling supported every step of the way.
Benefits of Teen Residential Treatment
Residential treatment offers teens a level of care that extends beyond weekly therapy, providing consistent structure, clinical oversight, and emotional support during a critical period of healing. In a residential setting, teens are removed from daily stressors and patterns that may be reinforcing symptoms, allowing space for meaningful change.
At Muir Wood Teen, residential care helps adolescents stabilize emotionally, develop healthier coping skills, and rebuild trust in themselves and others. With 24/7 support, individualized therapy, academic continuity, and a therapeutic peer community, teens are able to practice new skills in real time while receiving guidance every step of the way.
For families, residential treatment offers clarity and relief. Knowing their teen is supported in a safe, structured environment while long-term wellness is thoughtfully addressed.
The Muir Wood Teen Difference
Our team partners closely with parents and caregivers from day one—clear updates, a personalized plan, and real-world tools you can use between sessions – so your loved one can move toward stability, well-being, and lasting wellness alongside peers facing similar challenges.
Some of our key differentiators include:
Specialists in Adolescent Care
Everything we do is built for teens ages 12–17, not adapted from adult models. Our team includes board-certified psychiatrists, highly trained therapists, nurses, educators, and recovery counselors who specialize exclusively in adolescent mental health and substance use treatment. Working as an integrated team, they deliver evidence-based, developmentally appropriate care tailored to each teen’s unique needs.
Environments That Foster Connection and Growth
In serene, nature-rich settings, our campuses are unlike any other. With 24/7 care, teens spend their days as part of a broader community—engaging in therapy, academics, and outdoor activities that strengthen resilience and self-awareness. At night, they return to home-like residences to process, decompress, and connect with others. This balance of community and intimacy creates a unique healing environment where every moment becomes a part of the recovery process.
Expertise in Primary Mental Health + Substance Use
With expertise in treating both primary mental health and co-occurring substance use challenges, our trauma-informed approach helps teens heal deeply and build lasting change. We focus on the whole person—addressing both emotional well-being and underlying behavioral patterns—to support lifelong healing.
Support for the Whole Family
Healing doesn’t happen in isolation—it happens together. At Muir Wood, families stay actively involved through therapy, education, and a 16-week aftercare coaching program that builds trust, communication, and stability long after treatment ends.
Accessible, High-Quality Care Covered by Insurance
Muir Wood is committed to removing financial barriers to care by partnering with most major insurance providers, ensuring families can access high-quality, evidence-based treatment when it matters most.
Educational Support that Restores Confidence
Through our WASC-accredited academic program, students continue their education with personalized support. Success in the classroom becomes a vital step in restoring confidence, structure, and a sense of possibility.
Continuum of Care
When residential treatment is complete, Muir Wood prioritizes a thoughtful, well-coordinated transition to the next level of care. For teens who live in the Clovis and greater Fresno area, this may include step-down support through our local IOP. For others, we collaborate closely with community providers, outpatient therapists, schools, and treatment partners to ensure continuity beyond residential care.
