They are dedicated to providing a haven of peace for families dealing with substance use disorders and mental health challenges. Situated on a serene 62-acre campus, the center offers a 60 to 90-day dual-diagnosis residential program and intensive outpatient program (IOP) addressing substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center aims to transform the lives of adolescents by focusing on their inherent strengths, helping them reconnect with their goals, heal from trauma, and find purpose.
Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center provides a wide range of treatment options for various mental health issues that often go hand-in-hand with addiction—including ADHD, depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal thoughts, and bipolar disorder. The center also addresses substance use disorders such as marijuana, alcohol, opioids, and cocaine. Each resident undergoes an extensive assessment with psychological testing to determine the most effective course of treatment. The program includes over 40 hours of group therapy weekly, trauma therapy, and evidence-based experiential therapies like yoga, equine therapy, and adventure therapy.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cornerstone of Stonewater's treatment approach, particularly effective for adolescents grappling with substance use and mental health challenges. The entire team, not just clinicians, is trained in DBT, creating a supportive community environment where adolescents can master skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal relationships. These skills empower the clients to make positive behavioral changes, encourage abstinence, strengthen family and social connections, and develop appropriate responses to stress.
Founded by the Fikes family, who personally experienced the challenges of having an adolescent in crisis, Stonewater emphasizes a family-centered approach to recovery. The center offers clarity and comfort to families navigating the complexities of treatment. During treatment, families work with a family recovery support therapist who provides updates on treatment and ways to support their children best. In addition, families find comfort and connection in group therapy sessions. Stonewater's commitment to family involvement and support is reflected in positive testimonials, with families rating their experience highly and appreciating the center's dedication to holistic healing.
