In our residential programs for troubled teens, we offer specialized clinical support for a broad spectrum of behavioral and mental health issues, 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: There are a few conditions that Avery’s House is not equipped to handle. Unfortunately, we can’t offer treatment for teens with a history of arson or other serious crimes, severe substance abuse, aggressive behavior, significant sexual issues, or other extreme diagnoses.

Three factors that ensure a successful recovery journey 

Some programs for troubled teens miss the mark by discounting elements critical for effective treatment. This oversight can make it difficult for adolescents to overcome mental health challenges. At Avery’s House, we don’t make this mistake. To enhance the likelihood of a successful recovery, we’ve integrated three fundamental elements into our residential treatment program:

Family involvement

  • We emphasize family participation in recovery, including family therapy and regular updates, plus thorough aftercare planning for a smooth return home.

Academic support

  • We provide extensive educational services to help teens stay on top of schoolwork during treatment, offering assistance with assignments, and one-on-one tutoring.

Medication management

  • For teens needing more than therapy, we provide detailed medication management, customizing prescriptions to each teen’s needs and monitoring them closely.

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

  • Recently completed a psychiatric stabilization program in an inpatient setting (such as a hospital)
  • Need a temporary break from familiar surroundings to concentrate on recovery
  • Tried day treatment or outpatient programs but required more support

They’re not only first-rate mental health professionals with a proven track record of successfully treating adolescents but also profoundly compassionate.
