What to Expect During Our Atascadero Teen Residential Treatment Program
As a parent, knowing what to expect during a teen residential treatment program can help ease your apprehension and make it easier to support your teen through the same feelings. But how?
- It all starts with us providing you with clear details about the program, treatment philosophies, and admission process.
- From initial orientation, we move toward the assessment and pre-admission stage.
- This is where we thoroughly evaluate your teen’s medical history and cultural background and conduct psychological tests to understand their mental health and behavior.
- As a parent, you are a key part of this process, sharing insights about your teen’s struggles.
- The results of this assessment will help us create the best treatment plan for your teen.
- Once your teen is accepted, the admission process begins. Here, we will guide you through all the steps—paperwork, finances, and logistics.
- Our Atascadero teen residential treatment program will be customized based on the teen’s specific needs, the condition they’re treated for (mental illness or substance use), and how often or intensely symptoms appear.
However, during their stay with us, here’s a list of common therapies your teen will participate in.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Teens will have an individual therapy session with a skilled counselor every week. Where they'll be able to analyze their emotions, gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors, and how they can break their negative thinking pattern.
GROUP THERAPY
Group therapy is a core component of our treatment program. During these sessions, teens can share their experiences and learn from their peers in a safe and supportive environment.
HOLISTIC AND RECREATION THERAPIES
We don't just rely on conventional treatment. We take it a step further by offering a mix of holistic therapies like yoga, art therapy, surf therapy, hiking, and music therapy. These activities are specially designed to help teens manage their stress, find a sense of self, build confidence, and uncover new passions.
NUTRITION AND EXERCISE
We integrate the essentials of nutrition and physical activity into each day. With daily access to 3 nutritional meals, healthy snacks, and exercise resources, we ensure every aspect of a teen's health is nurtured. It's about empowering them to take steps toward lasting wellness.

The family plays a crucial role in our residential treatment program. Our experienced therapists help families address communication issues between their teens, build healthy boundaries, and learn new ways to cope. These steps are crucial in supporting their teen's long-term recovery.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
We know how challenging it can be for teens to keep up with academics while they're in our program.
