About Align Adolescent Recovery
Align Adolescent Recovery is a residential program and therapeutic boarding school that offers an immersive experience for boys in 9th-12th grade who are facing mental health challenges, substance use, and trauma. The program offers a combination of clinical expertise, fun, and structure that draws out the strengths of each adolescent and helps them grow into their full potential. This 5-7 month program embraces a holistic approach to treatment, using wellness strategies, proven therapies, and adventure outings.
Align uses the 12-Steps and a trauma-informed approach to treating substance use and other mental health challenges. They emphasize whole-body wellness and have a registered dietitian and offer wellness activities like cold plunge and sauna therapy. They offer horsemanship, therapeutic riding, and equine-facilitated psychotherapy, which help young men with emotional regulation and accountability. Align takes students on regular local excursions and students even have the opportunity to go on an international expedition focused on service, humility, and seeing the world with new eyes.
The campus, located on a 100-acre ranch right outside of Tucson, Arizona, has a fully accredited, on-site high school (San Pedro Valley Academy), shared housing, a fitness center, cold plunges, sauna, and meditation area. Young men have many opportunities for physical fitness and recreation at their skate park, basketball courts, soccer field, volleyball court, batting cages, riding trails, and game room. For a creative outlet, they offer a music room with instruments and recording studio along with an art room.
Align helps support healing after discharge and offers transition planning services with alumni support. They give referrals to aftercare and transitional living and continue to support families through community partners and virtual groups. Their parent support program supports parents while their son is in treatment through weekly family therapy, multi-day family weekends, weekly support groups, and a dedicated parent liaison who guides parents throughout the process.
