About Mission Prep Teen Treatment in Bonsall

Situated in the hills of Bonsall, California, our residential treatment center (RTC) for adolescent boys provides an oasis away from the stressors of daily life, where you can focus on healing and restoration. This six-bed home is fully equipped with an in-home chef, outdoor pool, and in-house gym that’s accessible to residents during non-programming hours. The boys at our residential facility also attend three hours of academic study time each weekday to ensure they don’t fall behind. 

For young boys, it’s important to treat the whole person, which means we prioritize your mind-body connection and build upon routines that emphasize mental and physical wellness. 

Our clinical team is adolescent-specialized, highly trained in teen development, peer dynamics, and family systems. 

At Mission Prep Teen Treatment, we understand that mental health services are not one-size-fits-all, so our therapists combine traditional therapies like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) with more expressive and holistic approaches, including art therapy, surf therapy, yoga, and equine therapy. With plenty of outdoor spaces for relaxation and recentering, our residential facility is full of light and spaces specifically designed to provide a nurturing, safe, and supportive environment.
