Residential Treatment Centers For Troubled Teens
Parents want the best for their children. They want them to be able to achieve goals, to have good friends, positive self-esteem, a strong family relationship, physical and emotional health and satisfaction in their lives. Despite best intentions and efforts, during adolescence and the teenage years, not all of these hopes are realized. In some cases troubled teens exhibiting chronic self-defeating behavior benefit greatly from high-impact, long-term residential treatment.
Island View Residential Treatment Center in Syracuse, Utah provides just such a program for troubled teens. A comprehensive facility, Island View offers a structured environment with strategic therapy programs, diversified activity, a fully accredited on-campus school, and in-house medical and psychiatric services.
residential treatment centers for troubled teensThe decision to send a child away for treatment is an incredibly difficult one. Staff members understand the feelings of worry and loss of control that may parents may be experiencing. The safety and success of each child is of primary concern at Island View. Parents can be confident in the high quality of care their child will receive and in the evidence-based treatment that will produce positive results.
Residential treatment centers remove the troubled teen from the environment in which they are not thriving, and provide a structured, positive environment in which they have a new opportunity for a success-oriented experience. Individualized treatment plans help students develop communication and relationship skills, strengthen personal identity and foster pro-social behaviors and attitudes.
In-house clinical treatment services are key elements of treatment as a part of Island View residential treatment. Professionals provide individual, group and family therapy. Each resident will receive a customized individual treatment plan.
Island View’s residential program pairs the outdoors with college-prep curriculum, to challenge students in a different way while allowing for individualized learning. A quality education experience and the pursuit of a high school diploma are important parts of a resident’s interdisciplinary treatment. All academic courses are taught by qualified and experienced personnel.
Parents that commit to the process of residential treatment for their troubled teen are the single most important variable for positive treatment outcome. When parents do not commit to the process, it inevitably spells disaster and is a waste of money and resources.
Between August 2003 and January 2006, Aspen Education Group, parent company of Island View, participated in a study measuring the effectiveness of Aspen’s private residential programs for teens. Results show that at discharge, teens are more cooperative, they have a better sense of self, they have stronger family relationships and these programs succeed where others do not.
