Signs Our Residential Treatment Center Can Help

We understand how difficult it can be to see your loved one struggling, and we’re here to help. Here are five signs that our RTC could help:

  1. Severe Behavioral or Emotional Issues: Frequent aggressive or defiant behaviors, such as outbursts, rule-breaking, or conflicts with authority figures.
  2. Unsafe Living at Home: Engaging in behaviors that put themselves or others at risk, such as self-harm or aggression, requiring 24/7 supervision and care.
  3. Other Treatment Options Aren’t Working: When outpatient therapy, IOP, or PHP aren’t able to help, an RTC can provide around-the-clock care and support for your teen.
  4. Inability to Maintain a Routine: Struggling to wake up on time, attend school regularly, or complete basic tasks like eating or sleeping.
  5. Frequent Family Conflict or Social Isolation: Ongoing tension at home or withdrawal from all social relationships, making it hard to heal without a break from the current environment.
