Finding the right help for a teen with behavioral issues can be overwhelming for parents. But if you live in or near Meridian, there’s hope! Welcome to Avery’s House, which offers benefits far beyond those of a conventional group home. It’s a residential facility that provides comprehensive and compassionate support for teens with behavioral challenges.
What is a group home for teens?
A group home is a supervised living space for teens who need special mental health care.
Traditional group homes for troubled teens typically provide a stable environment but often cannot adequately address severe behavioral, mental health, or substance use challenges. Here are some reasons why:
- Generalized care: The one-size-fits-all approach of most group homes might not meet specific mental health needs.
- No individual attention: With many teens to care for, group homes are ill-prepared to offer one-on-one or personalized care.
- Only basic behavioral support: Group homes often teach only basic skills, focusing on managing behaviors rather than identifying and addressing underlying causes.
- Limited academic support: Though they offer structured routines, most group homes fail to offer robust educational help.
- Lack of aftercare planning: Because support often ends abruptly when a child leaves a group home, the transition back to everyday life can be challenging, increasing the risk of relapse.
By contrast, our teen residential treatment program provides comprehensive and ongoing support specifically tailored to your child’s needs, strengths, goals, and progress.
