In our troubled teen programs, we offer comprehensive clinical support to help Sun Valley adolescents overcome 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 Sun Valley teens as possible, some conditions fall outside our scope. We aren’t able to treat adolescents with a history of arson or other serious crimes. Also, our programs are not a good fit for those struggling with heavy substance abuse, highly aggressive behaviors, significant sexual issues, or other extreme diagnoses.

Factors that ensure a successful recovery journey 

Many programs for troubled youth fall short because they leave out elements crucial to a teen’s successful treatment. Without these, it can be difficult for adolescents to overcome mental health challenges. At Avery’s House, we don’t make this mistake. We’ve integrated three essential components into our treatment approach, significantly enhancing the likelihood of successful recovery:

Family Involvement

  • We include family therapy, regular updates, and thorough aftercare planning in our treatment to support your teen's recovery and smooth transition back to daily life.

Academic Support

  • We ensure teens stay academically on track during treatment with timely assignment completion, one-on-one tutoring, and strategies to manage schoolwork without stress.

Medication Management

  • For teens needing more than therapy, we provide personalized medication management, ensuring each prescription is carefully tailored and monitored for the best results.
