Teen Residential Treatment For Menifee, California Residents
Menifee parents, we understand how overwhelming it can be to see your teen struggle with mental health or substance abuse issues. That’s why Key Healthcare (licensed by California’s DHCS) offers your teen the support you’ve been searching for. Our 45-60 days, evidence-based teen residential treatment program, led by professionals, focuses on giving teens personalized care to help them overcome these issues.
Even our approach is both caring and practical. That’s why our program ensures your teen doesn’t fall behind academically, giving them the space to focus on their healing without losing progress in school.
What’s more. Many of Menifee’s top healthcare experts recommend us. Why? Because we use therapies that are proven to be effective in controlled studies. CBT, DBT, Exposure Therapy, and EMDR are a few (among many) therapies that we employ during our treatment process.
These therapies are proven to not only reduce the emotional charge associated with the teen’s traumatic event but also confront their fears, manage their anxiety, and equip them with constructive coping mechanisms.
However, from our years of experience, we have understood that real recovery doesn’t happen overnight. It needs time and, often, a helping hand along the way. That’s why we provide a range of resources here in Menifee to support teens like yours. Whether they’re just starting or have finished our program, these resources can make a difference in their post-healing journey (irrespective of their stage).

Teen Residential Treatment for Menifee, California
What to Expect During Our Menifee Teen Residential Treatment Program
As a parent, knowing what to expect during a teen residential treatment center 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.
- After the initial orientation, we move toward the assessment and pre-admission stage.
- Here, we thoroughly evaluate your teen’s medical history and cultural background. We also 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 Menifee teen residential treatment California program will be tailored to meet your teen’s specific needs, addressing the particular condition they are being treated for—whether mental illness or substance use disorders.
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. During these individual therapy sessions, 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 group therapy 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 and experiential therapies such as yoga, art therapy, surf therapy, hiking, music therapy, and equine-assisted 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.
FAMILY CENTERED TREATMENT
The entire 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. That's why, through Mission Academy School, we offer curriculum and credit recovery so that no schoolwork progress is lost. Our caring staff is there to help support your child's studies while they're healing.
Meet the Team
We believe that the effectiveness of the treatment program relies heavily on the bond between the teen and their therapist, rather than solely on the clinical modalities and various therapeutic techniques employed. That is why our staff members are relatable, resourceful and fearless when it comes to finding creative solutions for each client.

Evidence-Based Residential Therapy for Menifee Adolescents
We at Key Healthcare are more than just experts at the heart of patient success. We’re partners to teenagers and their families as they go through the tumultuous years of growing up. When life throws a curveball, whether it’s mental illness or abuse of illicit drugs, it’s not just the struggling teen who feels the strain it’s a family affair.
But let’s pause for a moment to look at some concerning stats in Menifee that highlight why RTC is essential:
Recently, news published on April 13, 2024, in California Statewide LAW ENFORCEMENT ASSOCIATION says agents from ABC in Lake Elsinore, a mere 17 minutes from Menifee, apprehended three people for illegally providing alcohol to underage youths. This incident is part of a broader concern that affects communities across Riverside.
Additionally, the rising number of fentanyl overdoses is alarming, as per Riverside County, CA – Overdose Data to Action | RODA reports. In 2024 (up to June), in Riverside County alone, there were 44 fatal overdoses due to this potent drug. Alarmingly, 1 of the deaths were for the age group 15-24. But in 2023, there were 532 fatal overdoses due to this potent drug. Alarmingly, 43 of these deaths were for the age group 15-24.
These numbers are hard to ignore and drive home the need for effective residential treatment programs.
At Key Healthcare, we’re dedicated to making a difference. By supporting each other and providing the care, guidance, and therapies they need, we can overcome these challenges and build a brighter future for your teen.
Additional Teen Resources in Menifee, CA
Menifee Teen Therapist & Counselors
In our program, we often see a truly moving moment in teenagers when they realize they already have what it takes to solve their anxiety. And a key way to help them realize this inner strength is through what we call “externalizing the problem.” In Narrative Therapy, this approach means seeing the problem as something separate from who they are (as a person). This separation makes it easier for teens to understand and manage their anxiety without feeling defined by them.
Narrative Therapy offers them a comfortable, non-judgmental space where teens can explore their thoughts and emotions. Focusing on their own life story, teens start to see how their past experiences play a role in their current anxiety. This approach views anxiety as a reaction to life’s pressures, not as a permanent part of who they are. When teens understand this, they can find ways and strategize to manage it and feel more in control.
However, it’s imperative to note that the purpose of narrative therapy isn’t just to suppress symptoms temporarily. It’s about equipping teens with the support of an expert along with tools to manage their anxiety in the long term. And as soon as they transition from our care back to their everyday lives, they need to reinforce their progress. That’s why we compiled a list of therapists and counselors in Menifee specializing in narrative therapy.
These professionals use this therapy to assist teens in delving into their (personal) narratives, which helps them recognize and understand their emotional and mental patterns. This enables teens to challenge their anxieties and gain a better grasp of themselves in everyday scenarios.

Emergency Response/Hotlines Information for Menifee Adolescents
In moments of crisis, having immediate access to the right hotlines can make a difference in your teen’s mental health. At Key Healthcare, we specialize in providing long-term residential care for teens. But we also believe that parents should be prepared for every stage of their teen’s mental health and substance abuse journey.
That’s why we’ve compiled this list of emergency hotlines and services in Menifee so that families and parents can have the resources to respond swiftly and effectively. But before you move forward, here are some guidelines on what to do if your teen is in immediate danger:
- When your teen is caught in the grip of an overdose or a mental health crisis, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But remember, your calm presence and quick thinking can make a real difference.
- In times like these, every second counts. Don’t hesitate to call 911 if you suspect an overdose or if the symptoms of their mental health disorders are getting worse. Once you call, the police dispatcher answers your call and will transfer your call to the Fire Department or Paramedics, if required.
- Your quick action could be the difference between your teen’s life and death.
- If you think your teen might have overdosed on a drug or is having a medical or mental health emergency, don’t wait as said; call 9-1-1 right away. It’s important to act fast in these situations.
- You might be worried about them getting in trouble for calling for help, but there’s something called the Good Samaritan Fatal Overdose Law that protects the victim from being arrested.
- They even have their own helpline number: (951) 686-HELP
- Website: https://up2riverside.org/substance-use-and-prevention/youth/
- The 988 Lifeline is a quick way and easy to remember 3 digit number to get help for your teen during a mental health, suicide, or substance use disorder.
- By calling or texting 988 or chatting at 988lifeline.org, you or your teen can connect with a professional at Lifeline who provides support.
- Website: https://988lifeline.org/
- Is your teenager dealing with anxiety or depression that is affecting their friendships and relationships?
- Have they ever expressed fears about being alone or shown other symptoms of distress?
- If yes, then it’s time to get aid. Text HOME to 741741 to speak with a volunteer crisis counselor.
- Website: https://www.crisistextline.org/
- For the last 34 years, CA Youth Crisis Line has been the trusted lifeline for teens and families across California, including Menifee.
- They discuss issues like suicide, depression, bullying, health and identity concerns, and trauma. And the best part is that their crisis counselors offer a safe and non-judgmental space to talk.

- They also provide translation services for many languages.

Support Group for Menifee Adolescents
Studies tell us something that parents should know in their gut: 30% to 65% of teens in recovery are at risk of relapse, especially in those early days after finishing their residential treatment. This is why it’s so important for your teen to have supportive peers who help them stay sober and accountable.
And Menifee’s support groups provide exactly that. These groups provide valuable advice, develop positive self-concepts, and train teens in ways to manage their stress and grief. The best part? They connect teens with peers in Menifee who truly understand their struggles. This shared experience gives teens hope, making a recovery feel achievable and real progress possible.
- Sundays at TheView.Church is about bringing the Menifee community together and helping them grow. Every week, they dive into the Bible through big group sessions where they teach and preach.
- Their lessons are based on the Bible and aim to give teens ideas and guidance on how to live their lives modeled after Jesus Christ.
- But that's not all. They also conduct programs for teens who are dealing with grief and loss. It happens every Sunday morning from 10 AM to 12 PM.

Recreation and Community Centers For Teens in Menifee, CA
Steering the teen years can be quite the tightrope walk—not just about keeping them safe from substance abuse and friends’ bad influence, but really enriching their lives. From Recreation and Reading Programs to Community Centers, there’s plenty for them to explore and grow.
These places offer more than just a zone to hang out. They’re where teens can dive into their passions, focus on staying sober, make pals who share their interests, and develop habits that nurture their souls. Imagine your teen stepping away from solitary screen time and substance misuse to join in on Teen Activities and Summer Camps. These programs pull them into a vibrant world of real-life fun and skills learning, where they can create lasting memories.
Or picture them at a Youth Leaders of Menifee meeting, where they get to be the voice of their generation. In this program, they don’t just attend meetings in Menifee; they drive initiatives that make a difference for local youth. It’s where they can grow as leaders, improve their communication skills, and boost their self-esteem and confidence.
High School Counseling Resources for Menifee Adolescents
Our experts understand the importance of education in a teen’s life. That’s why we focus on equipping them with life skills such as self-regulation, time management, decision-making, and social confidence. These skills prepare teens to handle their daily school responsibilities and social pressures with resilience.
We even provide vocational training and counseling to help teens identify their passions and establish realistic educational and career goals.
However, to make sure that teens keep up their progress and avoid falling back into old habits (once they transition back to their school life), we’ve gathered a list of high school counselors in Menifee.
These counselors are not only skilled but are also in tune with challenges like bullying, self-harm, and drug abuse that often arise among students.
They know where to step in to support teens, reinforcing the positive skills learned here and ensuring they feel supported as they work toward a better future.
On top of that, they add an extra layer of support that teens need to manage their school work and stay emotionally steady. This way, the progress they’ve made in our care is strengthened, helping them focus on a positive, balanced path.

Find Your Teenager's Fitness Flow in Menifee, CA
During our sessions, one of the therapies that we often use is surf therapy as an experiential tool for helping teens. But why surf therapy? This therapy uses the ocean’s natural soothing qualities along with the focus and energy of surfing. The combined experience supports teens in finding balance mentally, emotionally, and physically.
Led by our skilled therapists, surf therapy sessions help teens heal from PTSD and other mental health challenges. Unlike other forms of physical activity that let the mind wander, surfing requires full attention, which keeps teens anchored in the present moment.
On top of that, it also provides a metaphor for a coping technique called urge surfing. This shows teens that an urge is like a wave. It rises, peaks, and then fades. As they ride real waves, teens learn how to “ride out” their cravings and emotions, too. This lesson in the ocean helps them manage urges and stay grounded.
In addition to the benefits, this therapy helps teen reduce their stress, ease anxiety, and lift depression. It also builds confidence, teaches resilience, and the hunger to better. However, teens must nurture this mind-body connection when they finish our program.
That’s why we encourage Menifee families to support their teens in finding a fitness activity they love, like surf therapy (if available), martial arts, dance, or sports.
These activities don’t just offer fitness benefits; they also help clear out negative emotions and keep teens grounded. With each practice, teens reinforce the growth they began with us, building confidence and a sense of stability for what’s ahead.
