We welcome family members and legal guardians who are 18 or older to visit their teens during our designated Sunday visitation hours, ensuring a structured and supportive environment for these important interactions.
Before any visits can take place, we require all potential visitors to receive approval from our clinical staff and participate in a Family Support Session.
This session helps create a framework for productive and therapeutic family engagement. This careful screening process and educational component allow us to maintain the integrity of our treatment program while fostering meaningful connections between teens and their support systems, ultimately contributing to better outcomes in their recovery journey.

We understand that having personal space is fundamental during treatment, which is why our rooms are carefully appointed to support both rest and reflection.

We prioritize maintaining clear lines of communication between all parties involved in your teenager’s treatment and recovery journey.
Are there rules my teen must abide by while in treatment?
Yes, maintaining a structured and safe environment is essential for our teen rehabilitation program.

Residents must participate in daily routines, such as room maintenance, personal hygiene, and communal responsibilities, which help establish healthy habits and accountability.
We also require teens to follow our structured schedule, including designated wake-up times, meal periods, therapy sessions, study periods, and bedtimes.
Are there any benefits to sending my teenager out of state for care?
While our structured environment and rules form the foundation of effective treatment, many parents wonder about sending their teen to an out-of-state facility.
