At the residential level of care, teens live on-site with 24-hour support and supervision. We treat adolescents from all over the country because our CARF- and Joint Commission-accredited teen treatment programs offer a level of excellence in clinical care that is hard to find in many states.

Evolve teen residential treatment centers harness the positive power of the family dynamic by creating treatment centers that look and feel like homes. They’re small, serene, and quiet, with never more than six teens at a time in any one residential center. Every resident feels like they’re in a personal, individualized recovery center designed to meet their specific therapeutic needs.

Our clinical and support staff is handpicked to provide the highest level of compassionate and humanistic care. On-site staff includes a psychiatrist, nurses, and licensed therapists. Our counseling staff is made up of experienced clinicians, masters-level interns, and certified recovery coaches who bring a diverse and eclectic background to the treatment experience. We do our best to have one staff member on-site who has kids of their own. We understand the experience of being a parent goes a long way when helping teens through the challenges of substance issues, behavioral problems, and emotional challenges.

Our teens receive solution-focused, data-driven, evidence-based, results-oriented therapy. Everything we do is geared toward changing behavior and finding the right combination of treatment and support. Since no two teenagers are alike, no two treatment plans are alike. During the admissions process, we conduct a thorough assessment, establish a baseline, and create an Individual Recovery Plan based on specific needs and goals. Recovery Plans include a combination of the following therapeutic modes:
