Teen Residential Treatment For Carpinteria, California Residents

Have you noticed your Carpinteria teen struggling more than usual? Perhaps their behavior has changed, or their grades are dropping. You see, mental health and substance use issues create a ripple effect that impacts every member of the family. However, there’s help within reach.

  • 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.
