Overview of Residential Treatment Centers for Teens

You may be wondering, what are residential treatment programs? And more specifically, what is a residential treatment facility that offers “evidence-based treatment” for teens? These are common questions, especially among parents and loved ones looking after their teenagers.

To start with, residential treatment centers are facilities that offer help to struggling teens. The help typically consists of professional services in the form of a personalized treatment program to treat mental health issues. Moreover, different types of residential programs offer support for:

• Teen mental health
• Substance use disorders
• Alcohol abuse disorders
• Eating disorders

The type of residential care you receive will depend on the health needs of your teenager or young adult. The facilities that offer inpatient services and ongoing medical care help teenagers with a range of issues. For instance, these centers cover treatment services for behavioral health concerns as well.

Here, most teens receive individual therapy, group therapy, and family therapy. These are common strategies and counseling options to develop strategies for successful recovery. Recovery from what, you may ask? Well, teens are vulnerable to a range of mental health issues and addiction disorders.

We understand this at Artemis and strive to be the leading residential treatment center that can offer you and your teenager comprehensive assessment. With that, we can help you develop a personalized teen residential program in a supportive environment with aftercare planning.

How Will Residential Treatment Centers Help Teens in Rehab

Does rehab work for teens? Yes, one of the ways residential treatment centers help teens in rehab is through a comprehensive assessment. They undergo evaluation with the help of a clinical director, for example. This helps with identifying their health issues and the causes behind them.

Then, the process involves highlighting the need for self-awareness and helping teens process – if possible and necessary – any traumatic event that led to the need for rehab. After that, there’s a treatment plan that includes different types of therapeutic activities.

Your teen could be grappling with an issue like depression or anxiety. Or perhaps, you have a more difficult challenge at hand – your teenagers struggling with a drug or alcohol abuse disorder. Fortunately, we are equipped to handle both their surface-level addiction and any underlying issues. Our programs are quite comprehensive and focus on helping adolescents heal in mind, body, and spirit.

Offers a Structured Environment for Healing

Our residential treatment center helps your child develop practical skills and learn healthy ways of emotion regulation. Why? To help them achieve emotional safety while learning helpful skills for maintaining their recovery in the long term.

However, for a treatment team to help your teen, they have to first create a supportive environment. This brings an overall structure to the recovery and healing process. It is one of the key benefits of comprehensive care at a residential rehab facility.

It provides a structured environment to help your child achieve mental stability and emotional safety. This is where they break away from unhealthy peer pressure, stressful home situations, and other environmental factors that are the causes behind their disruptive behaviors.

Typically, this is where they will practice skills for therapeutic benefits and form routines to stay focused on recovery.

Guides Through Evidence-Based Therapeutic Practices

Artemis focuses on using evidence-based treatment methods to guide clients toward the path of recovery. These include a range of proven modalities in the field of therapy. For example, the medical professionals and healthcare specialists at Artemis help through the following treatment methods:

• Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
• Trauma-focused therapy
• Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
• Family therapy sessions (we’ll get to that later)

Here at Artemis, the treatment team will customize the treatment plan to meet the individual needs of your teen. The team will consider family dynamics, mental health status, existing physical health issues, and many other factors to create the most effective recovery plan.

Addresses Underlying Causes of Teen Struggles

Did you know that poor family dynamics and instability are often contributing factors to the risk of young individuals developing substance use disorders? In fact, there is extensive research and scientific literature available on this matter.

Our professionals know how significant family dynamics are in the development of mental health problems. The research also suggests that mental health issues are linked to difficulty maintaining relationships in a healthy way between family members.

Therefore, our multidisciplinary team digs a little deeper to find the underlying causes of health issues. It could be mental illness, something genetic, some type of trauma, or something else entirely. We go to the root causes through psychological testing and create a comprehensive treatment plan to address those concerns.

Teaches Coping Skills and Emotional Regulation

Another way the inpatient and outpatient care facility helps is through teaching practical skills. It could be through therapy, through counseling – or even through recreational activities like hiking and swimming.

Our focus is to teach teens who are vulnerable to self-harm and self-destructive tendencies how to regulate their emotions. We teach them different practices to increase self-awareness. As a result, they can self-assess and try healthy ways to cope with emotions, like:

• Anxiety
• Stress
• Depression
• Fear
• Trauma
• Being overwhelmed

Some of the most effective methods include individual therapy and group therapy activities. With us, your teen will have a supportive environment to practice emotional regulation techniques. Not only that, they will develop skills to manage difficult emotions, while receiving necessary healthcare in a safe environment.

Involves Family Therapy and Support

For adolescents – and even for the most experienced young adults – the recovery process doesn’t end with the completion of a treatment plan at an accredited facility like Artemis. The connection with family members and their involvement plays a critical role in successful recovery.

In reality, it is the connections that develop during the treatment and recovery process that promise lasting recovery. That is why Artemis professionals bring in family members as tools and resources to create a “family system” where therapies and counseling are common activities.

Not only does this help struggling teens mend their broken relations but also helps them address underlying health issues tied to difficult family dynamics. In turn, it is also an opportunity to empower families and help them form better, stronger bonds.

How Long Do Teens Stay in Residential Treatment?

But how long will my teen be in a residential treatment program? It’s another common question that parents ask our professionals. One thing to remember is that your child’s specific needs will determine the duration.

For other teens and even young adults, the inpatient treatment plans take anywhere from 30 to 90 days. Yet, this may be extended to take anywhere from 3 to 6 months. And, in others, the program may take up to one year.

What’s more significant to mention is that these plans are not merely for “getting through” the illness. They are a means of learning to cope in healthy ways and accessing professional care as residents of a full-service rehab center.

What Are the Different Types of Residential Treatment Programs?

Now, you may already know that individual health needs vary – and so do the mental health struggles and challenges. Therefore, to cater to the unique journeys of development of every client at Artemis, we create an individualized treatment plan. We have various programs to address the specific issues your child may be facing.

Standard Residential Treatment Programs

This is where adolescents receive 24-hour care and engage in therapeutic activities. They develop coping strategies and learn to manage their conditions effectively. Some of those conditions may include substance use disorders or eating disorders. Other times, they can also include anxiety and chronic depression. That is also why the programs can last from a few weeks to several months, depending on the severity of the conditions.

Specialized Youth Residential Treatment

Artemis also offers youth residential treatment programs for more complex mental health issues. Some young people might experience more specific issues, such as gender identity crises, peer or school-related depression and anxiety, and more.

This is where our specialized programs bring a holistic approach with individualized treatment and psychological testing to treat such issues.

Mental Health Treatment Approach

Many times, parents overlook or underestimate the necessity of mental health treatment for their teens who are recovering from substance abuse.

It is often stress, depression, or similar conditions (as research suggests) that lead to substance use disorders and alcohol abuse.

Therefore, our dual diagnosis approach ensures that mental health issues are identified as part of the treatment plans to battle addiction and teen alcohol abuse more effectively.

How Do I Get My Child Into Residential Treatment?

We understand that watching your child go through these emotions and having self-harm tendencies is heart-wrenching. But, with the right care and support, you can help your adolescents build up emotional tolerance. Here’s how you can get them into a Joint Commission-accredited residential treatment program like ours.

Get a Thorough Evaluation

Begin with a thorough evaluation, one that you can obtain from a mental health counselor at Artemis. This will enable you to determine if your teen needs residential treatment or if outpatient treatment will be enough.

Contact a Treatment Facility

The second step is to talk with the treatment center professionals about your teen’s requirements and information such as insurance, levels of care, etc. You can request Artemis professionals to answer some questions to facilitate an informed choice.

Review Your Insurance Coverage (and the Process)

We will also tell you how much insurance coverage you can get for inpatient/residential treatment at Artemis. With in-network coverage, you can dramatically lower the expense of residential care and make it more convenient.
