Located on a scenic 800-acre campus, the program provides structured housing, education, and vocational support.

Care is trauma-informed, combining clinical treatment with routine to prepare teens for life.

Individualized Care in a Structured Setting

Treatment is built around progressive goals and may include individual counseling, group counseling, and regular family therapy. Clinical approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), DBT-informed treatment, trauma-focused care, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), moral reconation therapy (MRT), motivational interviewing (MI), and relapse prevention. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, the program helps teens address behavior patterns, emotional regulation, recovery skills, family relationships, and personal responsibility.

A Restorative Campus Environment

The Wabash campus provides a family-style residential environment designed to support stability and healthy routines. Daily life features an on-campus school, an indoor pool, a rock climbing wall, a greenhouse, and a café. Students can participate in Growing Teens for Life, a vocational program focused on job readiness, work experience, and financial skills. Comprehensive transition planning ensures continued support through aftercare coordination and family involvement.
