Teen & Adolescent Treatment Centers

Teen and adolescent programs are designed around the developmental and family needs of younger people with substance-use or mental health concerns. Services vary and can include individual and family therapy, peer support, psychiatric care, education coordination, and treatment for co-occurring conditions. The appropriate setting should be based on a qualified assessment and the young person's medical, psychiatric, developmental, safety, family, and school needs. Families should ask about clinician credentials, age ranges, family involvement, education services, medication policies, safety procedures, and how the program handles transitions back to home and school.
