Is there a teen mental health care crisis in Arizona?
According to Mental Health America, Arizona ranked among the bottom five states for access to mental health care in 2023. Especially concerning, the Arizona Alliance for Adolescent Health reported in 2024 that 70% of Arizona teenagers in mental health crisis receive no treatment.
At Avery’s House, we aim to lower this percentage. Proper diagnosis, treatment, and support can prevent many of the long-term effects of adolescent mental health issues.
Children differ from adults and have unique treatment needs. Avery’s House understands this. Our professional, caring staff have broad experience working with adolescents and build each teen’s treatment plan with their individual needs, strengths, and goals in mind.

FAQs about teen residential treatment
How long do kids stay in residential treatment?
Length of stay varies depending on a teen’s struggles, needs, and goals, though it is typically 60 to 90 days. Our knowledgable clinical staff will assess your child’s case and continually review their progress to make the best recommendations.
Can I visit the program before committing?
Of course! All prospective clients are invited to tour our home and meet our team so that they can feel confident about choosing our facility for their teen.
What is the teen residential treatment approach?
Residential treatment is specialized inpatient care that involves round-the-clock supervision and monitoring within a non-hospital setting. It provides an intensive therapeutic environment for adolescents with mental health and/or substance use issues.
Is residential treatment right for my teen?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer, as every teen and family are unique. However, there are some indicators that residential treatment may be appropriate. These include ongoing struggles in school despite traditional academic interventions, a history of running away, self-harm urges or suicidal ideation, substance abuse, frequent disruptive or dangerous behaviors, or a significant mental health condition (e.g., depression, anxiety, or an eating disorder).
How are families involved in teen residential treatment?
A troubled teen affects the entire family, and so it’s important that family members are involved in supporting an adolescent’s treatment and recovery. Healthy family behaviors include holding the loved one accountable and reinforcing positive choices. The most effective treatments actively include family members via family therapy sessions, support groups, and educational activities.
How do teens in residential treatment keep up in school?
Comprehensive programs prioritize academic progress by offering individualized academic support that encourages high school graduation, college readiness, and vocational development. Including such support ensures that teenagers in treatment do not fall behind in school.
