Frequently Asked Questions about Our Teen Residential Program for Girls

If you or a loved one is struggling, considering mental health treatment could be the first step to a higher quality of life, for the rest of your life. You don’t have to go through this alone, we’re here to help.

We allow patients to use WiFi and personal computers during treatment. Access to WiFi can help patients stay connected with loved ones and manage personal matters, which can be an essential part of the recovery process. 

Patients should discuss with their specific house managers to understand the WiFi policy and guidelines for use. This can help ensure that connectivity supports recovery while maintaining focus on therapeutic goals. The admissions team can provide detailed information and support if you have any concerns or special needs regarding internet access.

Typically, a person should bring comfortable clothing, toiletries, and any necessary medications. Many facilities prohibit items like sharp objects, alcohol, or illegal drugs. It’s important to check the specific facility’s rules on personal items before admission. You can find an extended packing list available for your convenience.

Patients are usually monitored by a team of healthcare professionals, including psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, and counselors. Regular check-ins, medication management, and one-on-one therapy sessions ensure that the patient’s mental health is closely observed and that any necessary adjustments to the treatment plan are made. In more intensive programs, 24-hour supervision may be provided.

We offer comprehensive aftercare services, including ongoing therapy, support groups, and referrals to community resources. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition back to everyday life and continued support in maintaining mental wellness. Clients can transition to an outpatient program after inpatient programming if desired.

Medication management is overseen by our team of psychiatrists and licensed clinicians. Medication management is important for clinicians to create a complete and accurate medication list, and to help to identify patient behaviors that may be putting patients at risk.
