What to expect
Our residential program provides around-the-clock therapeutic care in a home-like setting. Your daughter will work with a clinical team, attend school on-site, and begin rebuilding the coping skills and relationships she needs to move forward. We focus on stabilization, safety, and connection — so she can eventually step down to a lower level of care with confidence.
- 24/7 support, supervision, and structure
- Individual, group, and family therapy
- Academic support + coordination with your teen’s school
- Trauma-informed, evidence-based care
- Step-down planning to the right next level of care
Find the Right Care
Answer a few questions — we'll guide you to the best next step.
Step 1 of 7
Are there any immediate safety concerns right now?
Is Residential Treatment the Right Fit?
Needs round-the-clock support
When symptoms are impacting safety or daily functioning, 24/7 structure can help stabilize and support real progress.
Can’t stay stable at home right now
If home and school have become too hard to manage, a residential setting can provide safety, predictability, and support.
School refusal or major decline
When academics, attendance, or daily routine have broken down, residential care can help rebuild stability step by step.
Ongoing self-harm urges or high-risk behavior
Residential care offers consistent supervision and therapeutic support to reduce risk and strengthen coping skills.
Outpatient or Day Treatment hasn’t been enough
If previous levels of care haven’t led to lasting stability, residential treatment may provide the depth and consistency needed.

School time & academic support
Structured academic time helps teens continue making progress while treatment remains the priority.
Individual & family therapy
Individual sessions build insight and tools, while family work strengthens connection and supports a healthier transition home.
Supervised breaks, meals & regulation support
Meals and breaks are structured and supported, giving teens space to reset while practicing skills in real time.
Experiential work & life skills
Activities may include life skills, recreation, and experiential therapies that support confidence, connection, and growth.
Evening support & reflection
Evenings include continued therapeutic support, community time, and wind-down routines to reinforce safety and regulation.
