About Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center
Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center empowers the boys in their care to forge new futures and rebuild family bonds. They delve into the unique battles that teenage boys grapple with, including substance use, mental health and behavioral challenges. From medical detox and immersive residential treatment to academic support and strategic aftercare planning, they’re dedicated to healing the entire family unit. Stonewater’s philosophy goes beyond symptom management—it’s about developing healthy tools and restoring self-worth.
At Stonewater, treatment helps the boys rediscover who they are beneath anxiety and self-destructive patterns. Many teens carry not just substance use as an unhealthy coping mechanism, but feelings of shame and a loss of purpose. That’s why Stonewater’s approach is purpose-driven and self-worth restoring, using therapies that guide teens back to themselves. Through individual and group therapy, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, 12-step programs, leadership training, and adventure therapies, the boys start building lives they’re proud of.
Set on a beautiful private property in the rolling hills of northern Mississippi, Stonewater is a peaceful, distraction-free setting where adolescent boys can step away from daily pressures and focus on what really matters: getting better. They spend their days in a mix of therapy, fitness, and outdoor activities that get them moving and thinking in new ways. Whether they’re hiking a trail, talking through tough emotions, or learning how to tap into their entrepreneurial gifts, the boys can start to see that change is possible.
At Stonewater, aftercare planning begins well before the boys complete the program, with recovery support plans tailored to each family’s unique goals. They work closely with each teen to create personalized home contracts that set clear expectations and healthy boundaries for the return home. After discharge, the boys can expect phone call check-ins and access to their supportive and fun Alumni app.
