When is residential treatment necessary?

Our treatments are necessary when your adolescent or teen’s mental health needs are too great for outpatient care, or when they are stepping down in treatment intensity, for example from an inpatient hospitalization program. Residential treatment can also be a good option if someone feels unsafe at home, or for those who are trying to break out of a negative daily routine.

Why do youth go to our treatment center in Pennsylvania?

Youth from all over the United States come to our residential treatment center due to the intensive 24-hour care it can provide for a wide range of mental health issues. For adolescents and teens who have educational needs, safety issues, lack of support at home, need intensive treatment after inpatient care or needed a more in-depth treatment option after outpatient treatment, treatment at our facility can be a good option.

How long does treatment at our Pennsylvania treatment center last?

The length of treatment differs for each adolescent and teen. Please consult an admissions counselor about your specific situation.
