Teen Residential Treatment For Sacramento, California Residents

Is your Sacramento teen struggling with mental illness or substance use issues? As a parent, noticing these issues can make you feel miserable and confused. That’s why at Key Healthcare (licensed by California’s DHCS), we’ve been helping teens and families (like yours) steer these challenging moments with care and expertise since 2015.

Our teen residential treatment program offers 45-60 days of personalized care. By using evidence-based therapies (like CBT, DBT, and EMDR), we address both mental health and substance use challenges together through dual diagnosis treatment.

These therapies help teens not only release the emotional intensity of their trauma but also help them face their fears, overcome anxiety, and build positive coping mechanisms they can rely on. The result? A more confident, resilient future.

However, healing isn’t just about moving forward. It’s about having the right support to do so. Over the years, we’ve seen how important it is for families to have a guide through their teen’s post-healing journey. That’s why we’ve gathered a list of local resources for teens in Sacramento. This commitment to care is just one of the many reasons why top healthcare experts recommend our program in Sacramento.

Yet we know recovery isn’t just about health. It’s about balance. That’s why our residential program ensures your teen keeps up with their education without any interruptions. And because we believe quality care should never feel out of reach, we work with most insurance providers to ease parent’s financial burdens.

Evidence-Based Residential Therapy for Sacramento Adolescents

At Key HealthCare, we consider ourselves more than just therapists; we’re experts for teens and their families. Steering through the teenage years can be tough, and the entire family feels the impact.

We’re here to help, but before we proceed, let’s look at some hard facts. Did you know that according to Mental Health America last year, 6.64% of youth in California reported having a substance use disorder? That’s not all. Between 2017 and 2019, around 8% of 11th graders admitted to binge drinking—having five or more drinks in just a few hours—at least once in the past month, says Kids Data. Even more concerning, 13% reported either driving under the influence (of these substances) or riding with someone who was (consumed with alcohol or drugs).

This is exactly why evidence-based residential treatment is crucial in 2024.

What Sets Our Evidence-Based Residential Treatment for Teens Apart at Key HealthCare?

Our team of therapists, doctors, and counselors is highly experienced. They really dig into what’s troubling each teen, tackling issues like anger, sadness, acting out, withdrawal symptoms, triggers, or struggles with concentration and emotional control.

They’re not just identifying problems; they’re deducing why these issues exist in the first place. But we’re not just about coping strategies. We’re here to help these teens from Sacramento dream again and envision a future filled with happiness, meaning, and success. Part of our residential treatment involves putting what they learn into practice safely within our center.

So, at Key HealthCare, we’re more than talk; we’re about action. We’re helping one teen at a time, assisting them in rewriting their stories for a brighter, more successful life.

Up to 100% of the Costs Covered by Insurance

What to Expect During Our Sacramento Teen Residential Treatment Program

  • 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.

We know how challenging it can be for teens to keep up with academics while they're in our program.

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.

Sacramento Teen Therapist & Counselors

Our program places a strong emphasis on group therapy, regardless of the type of substance use disorder your teen may have. These sessions serve as a structured, supportive environment where teens feel safe enough to share their thoughts, emotions, and struggles. You see, the real power of group therapy lies in the connections built.

Teens interact with peers who have faced similar challenges, offering and receiving support. Learning from each other’s experiences gives teens an insight and a push to move forward. But there’s more. During these sessions, teens focus on gaining healthy coping techniques and relapse prevention strategies, giving teens a toolkit to promote sobriety.

By the end of treatment, they’ll have the knowledge and confidence to face triggers head-on and make choices that support their recovery. However, we know how important it is to have support once our sessions are over. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of local therapists and counselors in Sacramento.

These experts specialize in group therapy and provide the continued care teens need to reinforce what they’ve learned with us. Beyond coping and relapse prevention, these sessions dig into communication, self-awareness, boundary setting, and improving relationships.

The idea is to ensure teens not only stay on track but also grow in confidence and continue building healthier habits in their everyday lives.

Note: We aren’t affiliated with these therapists. But all of them are licensed by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS), ensuring your teen gets top-notch medical care close to home.

This image symbolizes Key Healthcare’s comprehensive mental health and recovery services, offering personalized support, guidance, and assistance for adolescents and their families.

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 Sacramento 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.

The Community Support Team is a collaboration that brings the county together with a local community organization, creating a team equipped with diverse skills to support teens and families. The team includes:

  • Peer Support Specialists: These are people who have faced challenges firsthand. They share their journeys to build trust, inspire hope, and offer guidance to those seeking help.
  • Mental Health Counselors: These skilled professionals work with all age groups. They assess individual (including teens) needs and connect families to the services and referrals that fit their conditions.
  • Contact: (916) 874-6015.
  • Hours of Operation: Monday-Friday: 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
  • Website:https://dhs.saccounty.gov/BHS/Documents/Provider-Forms/Brochures/BR-Community-Support-Team-brochure-English.pdf
  • The Source provides free 24-hour urgent response line support to your teen (until they are 27), whether they are dealing with sadness, loneliness, stress, or overwhelm.
  • Contact: 916-787-7678 OR 916-SUPPORT
  • Website: https://thesourcesacramento.com/call/
  • 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 Sacramento.
  • 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 don’t give advice but listen with understanding and care. If your adolescent is dealing with any teen-related problem, call them at 1-800-843-5200.
  • They also provide translation services for many languages.

Youth Development Programs for Sacramento Adolescents

Teens who are suffering from mental health and substance use issues require a well-rounded approach. At our Sacramento residential treatment program, we’re dedicated to supporting teens every step of the way.

We focus on equipping them with skills that matter, i.e., social behavior, self-advocacy, problem-solving, functional communication, etc. These skills aren’t just for their recovery; they help teens regulate their actions, fulfill their responsibilities, and set clear, achievable goals for the future.

However, healing doesn’t end when our treatment does. And we understand that. That’s why we’ve compiled a range of youth programs in Sacramento to support teens after their time with us. These programs do more than provide help. They act as a transition.

The programs reinforce the skills teens have learned during our treatment and offer real-life opportunities to practice and grow. With this ongoing support, teens are better equipped to face life’s challenges, stay on track (and not relapse), and even confidently pursue the career opportunities they get.

The Sacramento Youth Center

  • The Sacramento Youth Center is more than just a secure space for students. It’s a hub of opportunity. Here, young people can access mentoring programs, career training, personalized support, and so much more.
  • Their mission is to ensure every youth feels equipped with the opportunities and experiences they need to envision and build a brighter future.

Government’s Initiative for Sacramento Adolescents

Adolescent behavior can be baffling, right? One moment, your teen seems mature and responsible; the next, they’re making impulsive choices or experiencing intense emotions. It’s a normal part of brain development, but it can be confusing and even scary for both teens and their families. But here’s the thing: it’s all part of growing up.

And sometimes, a little help can go a long way. That’s where the Youth Employment Opportunity Program (YEOP) comes in. YEOP (a trusted mentor) helps at-risk youth aged 15-25 toward their educational, vocational, and career goals. Peer advisors at YEOP are career coaches (with similar experiences). They offer career counseling and job training and connect teens with helpful resources.

Besides this, we also understand that some teens face additional challenges. For those with disabilities, transitioning to adulthood can be even more complex; that’s why the Department of Social Services has various resources, support services, and programs specifically for the disabled community.

We know this is a pivotal time for our teens when they waste time with the wrong things. And the Government’s initiative wants to help them steer clear of risky behaviors like substance abuse and instead focus on building a bright future.

Counseling Centers for Sacramento Adolescents

We know substance abuse, mental health conditions, and behavioral health can throw a wrench into family life. It’s a heavy burden to carry, especially when it’s your teen. Considering treatment is a big decision but also a huge first step towards getting your teen back on track.

But hold your horses! Before jumping into that, let’s talk about some amazing counseling centers in Sacramento. Places like La Familia and NAMI Sacramento do have something for you. Counseling with them could be the key to understanding what’s happening, finding ways to cope, and helping your teen return to being themselves.

You may be experiencing hesitancy or fearing the stigma associated with it. And that’s okay! These counseling centers are like a toolbox filled with different solutions. They’re not just about counseling but about giving families and teens the support, power, and know-how they need to face this adversity.

Recreational Centers, Reading Programs, and Sports Club For Teens In Sacramento, CA

Raising a teen in Sacramento? It’s a balancing act. Hormones surge, emotions fluctuate, and the pressure to be high achievers in society can feel overwhelming. As a parent, you’re their guide and confidante. But sometimes, even the strongest foundation needs reinforcement. That’s where Sacramento’s recreational centers, parks, and sports programs come into play.

The county’s recreational centers, parks, and sports programs are more than just places for fun and games. They’re crucibles of growth, where teens develop skills that go far beyond the playing field. Teamwork on the Flag Football pitch translates to collaboration in the classroom. Discipline in the baseball court becomes the focus in the face of academic challenges. Brain-derived neurotrophic factors increased on the SacTown Tsunami Swim Team equip teens with benefits for battling addiction.

Teenagers today juggle a lot: school, friends, family, and trying to figure out who they are. Sometimes, a quiet corner with a good book is just what the doctor or therapist may order. The Sacramento Public Library is more than books—it’s a haven where teens can escape the everyday hustle and discover stories of individuals who have picked themselves up from the dark hole of alcohol or substance addiction.

For the wordsmiths in the family, 916 Ink is the right place. They offer workshops and one-on-one help to turn young writers into confident storytellers.

But it’s not just about words on paper. Both the library and 916 Ink are safe spaces for teens. Why? Because they can explore their

  • Thoughts
  • Feelings
  • Public health resources and rewire their brains, which helps them see their past addiction experiences from a different point of view.

It’s like therapy but with books and writing.

Note: To make sure you’re fully informed about any membership fees or one time costs, it’s a good idea to take a moment to check their official websites.

High School Counseling Resources for Sacramento Adolescents

The pressure of school and social life can often feel overwhelming, especially for teens who are already dealing with mental health or substance use issues.

That’s why, at Key Healthcare, we strongly emphasize helping teens develop essential life skills like time management, problem-solving, self-discipline, and emotional regulation. These abilities not only help them thrive academically but also allow them to manage their social interactions with greater confidence.

However, the journey doesn’t stop when they leave our care. Once teens step back into their school lives, they face challenges like trouble picking up on social cues, real-life school situations, etc. To support them through this, we’ve compiled a list of local academic counselors in Sacramento who are ready to help.

These counselors ensure teens can apply the skills learned during our treatment to real-life school situations. With this support, teens are better equipped to manage their school workload, stay organized, and continue their emotional growth as they move forward in their academic and personal lives.

Find Your Teenager's Fitness Flow in Sacramento, CA

One of the most impactful therapies that we use in our teen residential program is surf therapy. Our instructors guide these sessions with care, creating a safe space for teens dealing with PTSD and other mental health concerns.

Unlike other physical activities, surfing requires total concentration that anchors teens in the present. Likewise, it’s also a natural metaphor for a coping skill called urge surfing. This technique helps teens recognize that urges are just like waves. They rise, they peak, and they fall. By learning to ride the waves in the ocean, teens discover how to “ride out” their urges and emotions, building strength and control without being swept away.

Beyond its benefits, this therapy equips teens with the means to manage their stress, ease anxiety, and combat depression. It also builds their self-confidence, resilience, and hunger to succeed. But the journey doesn’t end here. To maintain this progress, teens must continue fostering the connection between their minds and bodies after they leave our program.

That’s why we encourage Sacramento families to support their teens in exploring fitness activities they love. Whether it’s surfing, martial arts, dance, or gym, these pursuits do more than keep teens fit. They help them clear their minds, channel emotions, and stay grounded.

How do you addressed the needs of LGBTQ+ 14-year-olds in your residential treatment program?
We create specialized programs for LGBTQ+ teens just like we do for all our other age group/gender clients. These programs are carefully made to meet their specific needs.
What's the admission process for 16-year-old girls in residential treatment?
The admission process is the same for 16-year-old girls, boys, or LGBTQ+ teens. You can learn more about our admissions process here.
