Age-Specific Care for Teens and Young Adults

This outpatient facility is designed specifically for adolescents (ages 13–17) and young adults (ages 18–30). With small group sizes, evidence-based therapies, and trauma-informed counseling, the program creates a safe space where clients can connect with peers their own age while receiving tailored clinical support. This focus on age-specific care helps young people feel understood and supported as they begin their recovery journey.

Empowering Young People for Life Beyond Treatment

Teens can stay on track with schoolwork through guidance from academic advisors, while young adults can explore career paths and receive coaching on job readiness. Life skills workshops and vocational training help clients build confidence and prepare for independence. By blending therapeutic care with practical support, the center ensures young people are equipped for long-term success outside of treatment.

Family Involvement That Develops Lasting Recovery

Parents and loved ones are invited into the process through biweekly individual family therapy and weekly multi-family groups. These sessions focus on building healthy communication, setting boundaries, and strengthening relationships. Families not only learn how to better support their loved one, but also how to heal together as a unit. This collaborative approach reinforces treatment progress and creates a supportive home environment for lasting recovery.

Building Structure and Commitment for Life After Treatment

Alumni are welcomed into a strong peer community that offers regular events, support groups, and access to recovery coaches. Relapse prevention planning and access to community resources help clients maintain stability and continue building on the skills developed in treatment. This commitment to ongoing support ensures that teens and young adults leave treatment with both a plan and a community to sustain their progress.

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.
