What Is a Residential Inpatient Treatment Program for Adolescents?
Residential treatment describes a level of care in which teens live at the treatment facility for 28-60 days, on average. While living at the facility, clients participate in a daily schedule of recovery-related activities, including group therapy, group activities, and individual therapy sessions with a licensed therapist.
While in residential inpatient, clients examine what might be blocking them or keeping them stuck. They start to identify negative thought patterns, destructive cycles of behaviors, and false beliefs that are holding them back from a life in recovery. Clients learn to acknowledge where they’ve played a part in their past troubles. They see how change is possible if they follow the path before them.

Who Is Residential Inpatient Treatment Most Suitable for?
Residential treatment is designed for those in need of an immersive experience. It is designed to remove the participant from their physical and social setting to break their destructive habits and patterns of thinking. This level of care is designed for the treatment of a substance use disorder or mental health condition if your teen has already completed the medically monitored detox process deemed necessary by a professional.
What Is the Treatment Process in a Teen Residential Inpatient Program?
We carefully design our treatment plan to fit each teenager’s specific needs. The key part of our treatment is the close and personal work each teenager does with their individual counselor. This helps ensure that the therapy is focused and tailored just for them.
Our program also includes regularly scheduled group therapy sessions. These are important because they help teenagers communicate with peers, resolve conflict, and share their personal challenges and successes. These groups meet in a kind and understanding environment where everyone is encouraged to discuss their feelings and support one another. These sessions are also very important for helping adolescent clients develop healthy friendships with others who understand what they’re going through, as they all work towards a common goal.

What to Expect in Residential Treatment
Teens and parents will meet with an intake coordinator upon arrival at the facility. This staff member will help you complete the necessary paperwork, obtain all necessary information, and conduct a search and documentation of all of your teen’s belongings. From there, you and your teen will be given a tour of the facility and an overview of the daily activities. These activities will include group and individual therapy sessions and activities to promote wellness and a new lifestyle.
Each day will have a set schedule of group sessions, meals, and activities. Your teen will remain involved in the daily activities until they complete the program and can transition to their aftercare plan safely. Family members are encouraged to participate in their teens’ treatment, including family group therapy sessions and designated family workshops.
