Evidence-Based Residential Treatment Center for Westmorland Adolescents
As for parents, the term residential treatment comes with its fair share of mixed ideas and conflicting feelings, and perhaps, leads towards a lot of confusion.
And we understand that.
For many parents, that confusion doesn’t affect their day-to-day life. Until it’s their teen who is caught in a crisis, and the full consequence hits home. Imagine this: your teen is experimenting with drugs or alcohol, not just risking their health but plunging into a world filled with despair and danger.
This isn’t just about poor choices. It’s about a lifestyle that connects them with a subculture endorsing all the wrong values, from drug use to destructive behaviors.
Statistics from trusted authorities paint a stark picture of these poor choices, with a disturbing number of teenagers in Imperial County losing their lives due to fentanyl abuse and opioid consumption.
- According to the California Overdose Surveillance Dashboard, the 12-month rolling rate for any opioid-related overdose deaths for the 15-19-year-old age group per 100,000 residents in 2023 (Q3) was 6.88. But in 2023 (Q2), the annualized quarterly rate was 27.53.
Quite devastating. But you see, sometimes, teens can stray from a healthy path despite their best efforts. And the reasons for this are many. To name a few- bullying, peer pressure, avoiding mental health struggles, easing the feeling of insecurity, easy access to these substances through social media, etc.
Therefore, when these challenges pile up, a helping hand can make all the difference. That’s where our evidence-based residential treatment center steps in. We provide personalized therapy plans for teens and their families during these temptation crises, helping pave the way toward a healthy and promising future. Our aim:
- Is to target the roots of these underlying issues.
- Eradicate the root causes of the problems instead of sweeping them under the rug.
- And ensure that every teen has the tools, skills, and support they need to thrive despite the obstacles they face.

What to Expect During Our Westmorland 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 Westmorland 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.
FAMILY CENTERED TREATMENT
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. 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.
