Facility Summary:
At Hillcrest Adolescent, our dedicated team of clinicians and therapists specializes in treating teens ages 12-18, working collaboratively with youth and their families to address a broad spectrum of mental health challenges in a nurturing residential environment. We are proud to be accredited by CARF (Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities), demonstrating our commitment to meeting and exceeding the highest standards of care in adolescent mental health treatment. Our comprehensive approach to adolescent treatment forms the foundation of our program, where we focus on empowering teens and their families through evidence-based therapies, therapeutic relationships, and individualized care plans. By addressing the whole person – mental, emotional, physical, and social needs – we help young people develop the skills and resilience needed for lasting recovery and lifelong wellness. Treatment at Hillcrest Adolescent Center stands out for its intensity and depth. Each client receives individual therapy two to three days per week, far exceeding the frequency provided by many other programs. This rigorous approach allows us to dive beyond surface-level behaviors like sneaking out or deflection, helping teens confront and heal the core issues driving their struggles. We understand that as a parent, seeing your child suffering with a mental health disorder, behavioral disorder, or addictive disorder is overwhelming, frustrating, and scary. We set a 90-day treatment standard, knowing that true healing takes time. The first 30 days help teens adjust to the environment, but challenges like regression or frustration may surface as they grow more comfortable. These are normal parts of the process, where the real work begins. Parents may feel the urge to “rescue” their child during tough moments, but trust our team—we know what we’re doing, and we guide families through this crucial phase of growth.
