How our Bend residential treatment center can help your adolescent or teen

For male, female, nonbinary, or LGBTQ+ adolescents and teens facing issues like ADHD, anxiety, borderline personality disorder (BPD), depression, and self-harm, early identification of symptoms is crucial for effective treatment.

At our Residential Treatment Center in Bend, Oregon, we offer:

  • Specialized inpatient mental health services
  • A holistic educational experience
  • Engaging life skills activities

Our approach helps youth understand themselves better and encourages positive behavioral change that eliminates negative daily routines and encourages long-lasting change for the future.

A safe place for residential treatment

Our residential program is dedicated to providing high standards of treatment to adolescents and teens. According to those standards, we use the least restrictive practices possible to ensure young people don’t harm themselves or others while they work through serious mental health challenges. We never use mechanical restraints, such as straps that confine someone to a bed; chemical restraints, which are medications that can sedate someone or limit movement; or seclusion or solitary confinement.

Each quarter, the Oregon Children’s Care Licensing Program collects data on how programs in the state use restraints and involuntary seclusion. You can see our latest report here.

  • Individual and group therapy

We combine these activities with family therapy to help youth, adolescents, and teens build confidence and strengthen their relationships.

Every mental health treatment plan is designed to meet our high standards of treatment using the least restrictive practices possible and providing the right level of care for each adolescent and teen.

Our goal is to help youth work through their mental health challenges while healing and growing in a safe and healthy environment free of any safety issues.

RTC frequently asked questions (FAQs)

How do people discuss going to residential treatment in Bend, Oregon, with their preteen or teen? 

It can be hard for youths to think about or accept going to a residential treatment center to address their difficult mental health issues. Help motivate your preteen or teen to embrace this type of treatment by asking open-ended questions about their situation and how this experience could improve it. Reassure them you’ll provide support by participating in family therapy during their stay and maintaining regular communication with them while they’re at the facility. Share success stories from residential treatment programs. We’re happy to provide a few testimonials from our Embark locations.

When is residential treatment necessary?

Residential care at our Bend, Oregon, treatment center can be necessary when a preteen or teen’s mental health needs are too great for an outpatient center or when they’re stepping down a level of care from a hospitalization program. It can also be an excellent option if someone feels unsafe at home or is trying to break out of a negative daily routine.

Why do youths go to the treatment center?

Youths go to our Bend, Oregon, treatment center because of the intensive 24-hour residential care it provides for a wide range of mental health issues, such as self-harm, BPD, OCD, and ADHD. Our program can be a wonderful option for adolescent and teen girls, boys, nonbinary, and LGBTQ+ youths who have safety issues, lack support at home, or need a high level of care after inpatient hospitalization or outpatient treatment.

How long does residential treatment last?

The length of treatment varies for each preteen or teen and is based on individual needs.

How does the program differ from other inpatient treatment programs?

The biggest difference between a typical inpatient treatment program and our program is the environment. While a typical inpatient facility has a hospitalization environment, our residential treatment center provides a nurturing, healing setting in beautiful Bend, Oregon, where youths can work through difficult mental health issues like BPD, OCD, ADHD, and depression.

What is residential care like for youths at the Bend, Oregon, treatment center?

During residential care at our Bend, Oregon, treatment center, youths maintain a shared schedule designed to help heal mental health issues. On a typical day, they’ll wake up and eat a healthy breakfast; do yoga or meditate; participate in a range of group and individual therapies; take part in therapeutic activities, like gardening and hiking; and wind down at night with a nutritious dinner and group support. This shared schedule provides 24 hours of care so adolescent and teen girls, boys, nonbinary, and LGBTQ+ youths can learn healthy ways of living and overcome difficult mental health issues.
