Our Co-Ed Community - Top Residential Treatment Programs

Residential Treatment Center for Troubled Teens

HELP YOUR CHILD REDISCOVER THE PERSON THEY ARE

As one of the top programs for struggling teens, Elevations RTC has a tight knit community based in a comfortable, nurturing environment. Our campus has the feel of a small, private boarding school. Unlike other residential treatment programs, large classrooms, library, climbing wall, full gym, art studio, athletic fields, dining room, and multiple residence halls, we have many amenities.

While this expansive campus is very useful for providing a comprehensive program it is still important we promote a community feel and personalization to promote a sense of normalcy unique to our program.

Smaller teams within a large community

When teens head back to their dorms at the end of the day, they come home to their own small community of students and staff. Students are split up into teams of 10-16 which allows students to become the closest with those people they probably relate to the most and who likely share similar backgrounds. These communities include staff members from the clinical, academic, residential life, and administrative staff to ensure the safety and well-being of all of our students.

These communities within a community can become like your teen’s family during their time at Elevations, one of the top residential treatment programs.

Gender Inclusive campus helps encourage a normal high school feel

Unlike other residential treatment programs, the gender inclusive aspect of our program gives teens the opportunity to feel like they’re in a normal high school setting. Teens build friendships with all of their peers on campus. When teens are able to interact and form bonds with their peers, it is easier for them to transition into a traditional school environment after they leave Elevations.

Community roles that develop responsibility

Assigning community roles helps give students purpose and responsibility on their team. For example, Ajax is responsible for assigning time to students for laundry throughout the week. Rooster wakes the team on time each day. Mr. Clean gets cleaning supplies prepared for the team. Each and every community role contributes to the overall functioning of the team and helps to build strong, dependable relationships and responsibility among students.

An enjoyable environment

At Elevations RTC, we encourage a sense of fun on our campus, offering exciting on-campus activities and off-campus service and activities. Teens at one of the top residential treatment programs who enter into our program have been through a lot. We like to lighten the mood with fun team activities and adventurous experiential expeditions off campus such as rafting and snowboarding.

Julie -

“Our son had a wonderful experience at Elevations. This program follows through on what it promises. The staff is excellent.”

Laura R. -

“Our son benefited tremendously from Elevations and we don’t know where we’d be without them. The staff was supportive, the environment was nurturing, and the group and individual therapy was spot-on in terms of his issues. He was able to build friendships with other kids for probably the first time in his life and he learned to be more flexible, listen, and collaborate on a team. The safe, structured and predictable environment allowed him to let down his guard and develop insights that he was always too defended and anxious to have in the past”

Deann C. -

“It was a great nurturing environment. She really loved the staff and would go to them if she was struggling or needed help, advice, or just to talk.”
