About Ridge RTC for Teens - Maine
The Ridge RTC - Maine offers a comprehensive residential treatment program for teens ages 12-18, focusing on addressing the core emotional and mental health issues that drive negative behaviors. The program includes individual therapy sessions three times a week, various group therapy modalities, family therapy, psychiatric assessments, medication management, recreational therapy, nutrition, and academic support. With a typical length of stay ranging from 30 to 90 days based on individual needs and clinical recommendations, the goal is to empower clients and their families to achieve sustainable recovery and lead healthy lives.
Navigate Challenges with Evidence-Based and Recreational Therapies
Intensive therapy is at the heart of the program at Ridge, offering adolescents a level of clinical attention far beyond what’s available at home, school, or through traditional outpatient therapy. Each teen receives a minimum of three individual sessions per week, three group therapy sessions per day, and consistent family therapy. Their approach is deeply rooted in a care model that blends clinical expertise with evidence-based, experiential, and expressive therapies, creating a healing experience that’s cognitive, emotional, and physical. In addition to proven therapies, the program emphasizes the restorative power of nature—offering outdoor-based activities that promote communication, trust-building, and emotional regulation.
Experience Nature-Inspired Healing
The Ridge RTC offers two distinct residential programs: the Farmhouse and Lakehouse, each providing unique environments and therapeutic experiences. While both locations offer settings that emphasize a close-knit, community-oriented approach to treatment, the dual locations allow for smaller groups and ensure clients are placed with appropriate ages and presenting issues. Farmhouse focuses on creating a supportive and nurturing atmosphere where teens can engage in various therapeutic activities, including equine therapy and horticulture. On the other hand, the Lakehouse provides a tranquil lakeside environment that integrates water-based activities and mindfulness practices into its therapeutic regimen, offering a peaceful retreat that helps teens connect with nature and themselves. Both programs are designed to address the core emotional and mental health issues of teens, but they cater to different preferences and therapeutic needs, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment experience.
Access Affordable Care
Access to care is a top priority for The Ridge RTC. They have contracted with most major insurance companies to ensure that more families can access their comprehensive treatment programs. This commitment to expanding access demonstrates The Ridge RTC’s dedication to supporting teens and their families in their journey towards recovery and well-being. By removing financial barriers, The Ridge RTC strives to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
