At Avery’s House, we know that every teenager we care for is unique, bringing their own stories, challenges, and strengths. With this in mind, we ensure that our programs for troubled youth meet the precise needs of each young person we serve. Our team of adolescent mental health experts not only has in-depth knowledge but also deep empathy and understanding. This combination of expertise and genuine compassion builds trust, helping teens feel comfortable about sharing thoughts and feelings.

Factors that ensure a successful recovery journey 

Some troubled youth programs miss the mark because they leave out elements crucial for treatment success. Without them, it can be extraordinarily difficult for adolescents to overcome mental health challenges. At Avery’s House, we avoid this pitfall. We’ve woven three crucial components into treatment, boosting the chances of a successful recovery:

Family involvement

  • We encourage family involvement in treatment, offering family therapy, regular updates, and planned aftercare to ease your teen’s return to daily life.

Academic support

  • We offer comprehensive educational support to keep teens on track academically, including help with assignments, one-on-one tutoring, and workload management.

Medication management

  • For teens needing additional support, we provide personalized medication management, ensuring prescriptions are tailored, accurately administered, and closely monitored.

Director of Community Relations

In our programs for troubled youth, we provide clinical support that helps teens triumph over mental health challenges, including   

  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Suicidal and self-harm thoughts
  • Bullying and victimization
  • ADHD and other attention difficulties
  • Substance use disorders
  • Trauma and adverse life experiences
  • Family and relationship problems

Note: While we want to help as many Idaho Falls teens as possible, some conditions fall outside our expertise. Unfortunately, we’re unable to treat adolescents with a history of arson or other serious crimes, nor can we help those with heavy substance abuse, aggressive behaviors, sexual issues, or other extreme diagnoses.

Our troubled teens program is an excellent fit for adolescents who…

  • Just finished a psychiatric stabilization program in a hospital or other inpatient facility
  • Need a temporary break from usual surroundings to focus on healing
  • Previously tried day treatment or outpatient programs but found they needed additional support

Committed to your teen’s mental well-being

At Avery’s House, we’re incredibly proud of our team. They’re more than highly qualified mental health professionals handpicked through a rigorous selection process—they also bring profound compassion to their work with troubled teens. With their unflinching commitment to your child’s best interests, you can trust them to provide attentive, around-the-clock care.
