When Is Teen Residential Treatment Needed?

Recognizing the need for teen residential treatment involves observing changes in physical appearance, behavior, and mental health.

Various substances produce different effects on the body. Some common signs to watch for include:

  • Changes in speech and coordination
  • Neglect of personal hygiene
  • Unusual smells on breath, body, or clothes
  • Nosebleeds
  • Changes in appetite or sleep patterns
  • Weight fluctuations
  • Withdrawal from family and friends
  • Secretive behavior
  • Loss of interest in hobbies
  • Deteriorating school performance
  • Risk-taking behavior

Our dedicated team of specialists in teen mental health care provides evidence-based residential treatment programs.

These programs address alcohol, prescription medication, and illicit drug abuse.

If your teen exhibits any of these signs, don't hesitate to reach out to us. We're here to help.
