Un-boring Experience

Beyond therapy, healing is about building healthy habits, discovering that sobriety can actually be fun, and learning how to form supportive peer friendships.

Teens stay engaged with a variety of on-site recreational activities, including basketball, pickleball, music, art, yoga, arcade, barber/hair salon, and more.

Comprehensive Teen-Focused Therapy

No two teens are the same, and we’ll work with you and your child to find the right path forward — never forcing them into a one-size-fits-all program. They have access to a variety of gold-standard therapies trusted by mental health professionals around the world to find what works best for them, including:

Innovative Therapies Not Available At Other Treatment Centers

If traditional therapy hasn’t helped before, don’t lose hope! Our cutting-edge, medication-free options go beyond traditional treatment — helping teens feel truly understood, supported, and ready to move forward.

Biofeedback Therapy

Biofeedback is a powerful, medication-free treatment that helps you learn to calm your nervous system and regulate your body’s response to stress, anxiety, and trauma.

Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS)

TMS is a noninvasive, FDA-approved treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain — improving mood, energy, and focus without side effects.

The Impact of Substance Use

Substance abuse doesn’t just affect a teen’s present. It can shape their future in ways that may be hard to reverse.

  • During adolescence, the brain is still developing.
  • Teens are more vulnerable to the harmful effects of drugs and alcohol.
  • Substance use can disrupt healthy brain growth and development.
  • It can worsen or trigger mental health issues.
  • Early intervention is essential to prevent lasting harm.

It Starts With A Simple Call

It’s always better to get ahead of mental health issues than to wait for a crisis. The sooner your teen gets the right support, the stronger their chances of long-term success in life.

Making the first call doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Asking for help means you’re doing everything you can to protect your child’s future.
