A safe, private, and homelike environment
Develop social skills and healthier relationships
Small-group setting for personalized attention
As a parent or guardian of a troubled Phoenix teen with serious behavioral health issues, you may feel overwhelmed while seeking the help that they need. However, you’re not alone! Avery’s House offers residential treatment centers near Phoenix that provide a nurturing and effective alternative to traditional group homes for teens.
Our adolescent treatment center might be a good fit if your child…
- Requires personalized attention from therapists and other clinicians
- Recently completed an inpatient or hospital psych stabilization program
- Tried outpatient programs (PHP or IOP levels) but needs more structure and support
- Would benefit from disconnecting from their current home, school, and/or social life to fully focus on recovery
What is a group home?
Group homes are residential facilities where a small group of teens live together under supervision. They’re designed to provide a supportive and structured environment, promote social interaction, and help teens develop basic life skills. Group homes offer a safe space for teens who cannot live with their families for various reasons. These facilities may be state run or private. Some are same-sex while others are co-ed.
It’s important to note that he quality of care varies significantly from home to home, regardless of whether they’re state run or private.
Limitations of traditional youth group homes
While traditional group homes provide a stable environment, many are not equipped to cater to teens with serious behavioral issues, mental health disorders, or substance use problems. Here’s why:
- Lack of specialized care: Group homes typically offer basic care and therapy but lack intensive, specialized programs to address severe mental health or behavioral issues.
- Less individual attention: Traditional group homes for troubled teens may not have adequate staff to provide the individual attention and personalized care needed by teens with severe issues.
- Limited educational support: Although group homes offer a structured environment, they usually lack robust educational support for continued academic progress.
- Only basic life skills training: While group homes teach basic life skills, they often fail to provide comprehensive training for teens facing significant challenges.
Understanding these limitations is vital when choosing a facility for your child. There’s an alternative that might be a better fit: a specialized residential treatment center like Avery’s House!
Residential treatment centers
The main difference between traditional group homes for teens and residential treatment centers is the level of specialized care and treatment. Residential programs focus on equipping adolescents with more advanced life skills and coping strategies to help manage their challenges in the long term.
Specialized Therapeutic Interventions
Our residential treatment facilities provide targeted therapeutic interventions, including individual, group, and family therapy.
Tailored Treatment Programs
Unlike one-size-fits-all approaches, our residential treatment facilities tailor programs to the unique needs of each resident.
Educational Support
Our residential treatment facilities offer robust educational support, ensuring residents don’t fall behind in school during treatment.
In essence, our residential treatment facilities provide more holistic, all-around care designed to address the root causes of each resident’s challenges, guiding them toward long-term recovery and wellness.
