Teen Treatment Center for ADHD
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a pattern of behavior that can include difficulty maintaining attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. The symptoms of ADHD can lead to functional impairments in social, educational, or work settings, resulting in a variety of negative coping mechanisms like substance abuse and behavioral problems.
Treatment for ADHD involves a combination of medications, psychotherapy, patient education, and the development of healthy coping strategies.
At Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch, we provide:
✔ 24-Hour Skilled Nursing with Medication Management
✔ Licensed Clinical Therapy with a Trauma-Informed Approach
✔ An Active, Adventure-Based Curriculum & Physical Fitness Program
✔ Structure and Support in a Christian Environment to Foster Spiritual Growth
What ADHD Looks Like in Teens
Life with ADHD can be challenging for teens and their parents. This neurodevelopmental condition can cause problems in school, difficulty following instructions or staying on task, disorganization, and behavioral problems.
Trouble concentrating or becoming easily distracted may look like it takes an unreasonably long time to complete homework which may cause a complete refusal to do the work. As a result, students with ADHD may fall behind in school and be at an increased risk of dropping out.
Teens with ADHD often also have recurring problems with disruptive behavior. They may seem to become easily frustrated and lose their temper quickly. Or, they might have difficulty controlling emotions or impulses. This can look like frequent trips to the principal’s office or involvement with the law.
When Is a Residential Therapeutic Program the Right Choice for Teens with ADHD?
More than 3 million teens are living with an attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder diagnosis. Many of them are able to function in the classroom and in their personal lives, but everyone is different. Some with a more severe disorder, or those who have developed maladaptive coping mechanisms struggle to function with an ADHD diagnosis.
Long-term residential treatment may be an option when:
- • Symptoms severely impact social, academic, or occupational function.
- • The diagnosis is co-occurring with other mental health or behavioral conditions.
- • Outpatient treatment options have previously failed.
- • Teens are engaging in high-risk behaviors with an immediate threat to themselves or others.
Residential treatment is a significant step and typically considered when other less restrictive interventions have been tried and were not successful.
