Gender-Specific Residential Setting for Teens

The center focuses exclusively on adolescents ages 12–17, offering treatment on separate campuses for boys and girls. This structure helps foster safety and comfort while allowing staff to tailor care to the developmental and emotional needs of each group. Set in a home-like environment, the facility is designed to reduce the institutional feel common in residential programs, helping young clients engage more fully in their recovery.

Integrated Education with Therapeutic Support

At Muir Wood, treatment doesn’t interrupt education. Each campus WASC-accredited school program, staffed by professionals trained to support students navigating both academic and clinical challenges. Teens stay on track with their studies through customized academic plans and transition support, helping reduce educational setbacks and stress related to school reintegration after discharge.

Clinically Grounded, Developmentally Informed Care

The program uses a wide range of evidence-based therapies and trauma-focused therapy to address substance use, mental health concerns, and co-occurring disorders. Psychiatric care, medication management, and psychological assessments are integrated into treatment plans. Physical activities like soccer, basketball, hiking, and other recreational therapy are incorporated to support emotional regulation, teamwork, and social engagement.

Inclusive and Trauma-Responsive Services

Muir Wood is designed to meet the needs of adolescents with complex mental health and substance use challenges, including those with a history of trauma or sexual abuse. The program is LGBTQ+ inclusive and trauma-informed, and accepts clients using medications for addiction treatment (MAT) when prescribed elsewhere. This inclusive approach helps ensure that all clients receive respectful, individualized support.

How we research treatment facilities

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.

Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:

- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.

- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.

- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.

- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.

Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.

How we evaluate treatment facilities

These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.

Important disclaimer

We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
