Is a group home right for your child?

While group homes offer teens a stable living environment, they may not be adequately equipped to provide the specialized mental health care many teens need. Key limitations include:

  • Only basic therapy: Group homes typically offer basic therapy, which often isn’t enough for teens with complex mental health needs.
  • Lack of personal attention: Limited staffing and larger groups of teens often means less individualized support.
  • Limited academic support: They usually don’t provide the robust educational assistance teens need to stay on track with school.
  • Basic skill focused: Basic skills and behavior management are prioritized over comprehensive emotional and psychological care.

Frequently asked questions

The main difference between a traditional teen group home and a residential treatment center is the amount and level of specialized care. Residential treatment is more immersive, with all activities—including academic work—completed at the facility. The residential treatment program at Avery’s House offers the following:

A teen will typically stay between 30 to 90 days, though some stay longer. Our experienced clinical staff will assess your child carefully and monitor progress to make the best recommendation.

The effectiveness of residential treatment for teens varies based on factors like severity of condition, facility quality, staff experience, and treatment modalities. However, research suggests that comprehensive and evidence-based programs are highly effective for many teens, making them a better alternative to a basic group home.

Like group home residents, teens in residential treatment have structured days. However, they also receive specialized therapies, which may include individual, family, group, art, music, and equine therapies. They may also receive specific academic support and training in holistic activities like yoga, mindfulness, and meditation.

Education is critically important for adolescents. Unlike most group homes, Avery’s House works with each resident to help them develop crucial academic and/or vocational skills and ensure they keep up with all school assignments while in treatment. This allows teens to gain confidence in their abilities and return to school as soon as they are ready.

The best residential treatment programs support teens throughout their transition back to their daily lives, helping them avoid relapse. Avery’s House develops meticulous aftercare plans to help clients maintain all gains and continue progressing toward a bright future.
