Teens receive the treatment they need for mental health disorders and addiction, with the added support of educational and vocational services.

A person with multiple mental health diagnoses, such as addiction and depression, has co-occurring disorders also called dual diagnosis.

Symptoms of depression may include fatigue, a sense of numbness, and loss of interest in activities. This condition can range from mild to severe.

Drug addiction is the excessive and repetitive use of substances, despite harmful consequences to a person's life, health, and relationships.

Some traumatic events are so disturbing that they cause long-term mental health problems. Those ongoing issues can also be referred to as "trauma."

A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.

Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.

Individual care meets the needs of each patient, using personalized treatment to provide them the most relevant care and greatest chance of success.

Providers using a strengths-based philosophy focus on the positive traits of their patients, creating a positive feedback loop that grows confidence.

Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.

Family therapy addresses group dynamics within a family system, with a focus on improving communication and interrupting unhealthy relationship patterns.

Teaching life skills like cooking, cleaning, clear communication, and even basic math provides a strong foundation for continued recovery.

This method combines treatment with education, teaching patients about different paths toward recovery. This empowers them to make more effective decisions.
