Westlake Village California Teen Residential Treatment FAQ’s

How do Westlake Villages' teen residential treatment facilities incorporate family involvement in their residential treatment program?
Key Healthcare values family participation in teen residential treatment. We strive to maintain family connections with various methods. This includes family therapy, programs to educate parents, continuous communication, and support groups. Our focus is to create a supportive environment that aids in the effective recovery of your teen.
What aftercare support services does Key Healthcare provide for families dealing with teenage problems?
Adolescence can be challenging, and it's normal to feel overwhelmed as parents sometimes. To help, we offer comprehensive family support. This includes family therapy sessions for open communication and mutual understanding, parent education programs to help with what your teen is going through, and regular updates on their progress to keep you informed and involved. We also recommend support groups, providing a sense of community for families facing similar challenges. Our aim is to empower your family with knowledge and strategies, creating a nurturing environment that supports your teen's path to recovery. Remember, you're not alone; we're all in this together.
What kind of help and aftercare resources do teens from Westlake Village get after they have finished their Key Healthcare teen residential treatment program?
We understand that your teen's journey to recovery is an ongoing process, and it doesn't end the moment they leave our facility. That's why we've designed our Teen Extended Care program to support them in this crucial phase of their recovery journey. This program offers a sober living environment, which is a vital step in ensuring a smooth and successful transition back to your home in Westlake Village. Think of it as a bridge between the intensive care you received in the residential program and the regular life you'll resume at home. It's a safe and structured space where you can continue to practice and reinforce the skills and coping strategies you've learned without the full intensity of the residential setting.
How much does it cost for a teen to stay in a residential treatment center in Westlake Village?
The average cost you might need to pay for your teen's residential treatment program can vary. This variation is due to several factors. For example, how long your teen's stay is with us in the program (the program duration), the types of services they receive while in the program (like therapy sessions, medical care, or recreational activities), and other important aspects of their treatment plan all contribute to the overall cost. You can also check your insurance coverage.
