Levels of Care
Residential Treatment Center
RTC provides the most intensive level of care in our facility. Daily schedules focus on intensive therapeutic services with 24-hour clinical services. During this period of treatment, the goal is safety and stabilization.
Partial Hospitalization Program
PHP provides structured therapeutic services alongside academic and supplemental growth activities. Daily schedules focus on balancing treatment with skill building so that clients can begin to work toward recovery.
Intensive Outpatient Program
IOP provides structured growth opportunities with the support of therapeutic services. At this level of care, clients begin to focus on academics and individual interests. They remain on campus while receiving outpatient therapeutic services.
Full-Time Skilled Nursing & Medication Management
In partnership with Johnson Behavioral Health and our onsite full-time nursing staff, Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch is able to safely and effectively manage perscription medications to aid in stabilization and recovery for our clients.
Is a Referral Required for Placement at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch?
Not necessarily. A parent can seek placement for a teen without a medical referral, but we strongly recommend starting with outpatient therapy. A licensed mental health professional will be able to assess the risks and benefits of placement specific to the mental or emotional needs of the teen. We have a comprehensive application and intake process that will walk you through determining if your teen is a good fit for our program and what outcomes you can expect from treatment.

Who Provides Counseling and Therapy at Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch?
All therapy is led by licensed, masters-level mental health professionals—therapists, counselors, and social workers—who specialize in adolescent behavioral health. Each student is assigned a primary therapist who coordinates his treatment plan and works closely with the family throughout the program. Case managers may either be a licensed mental health professional or an ordained minister, they work alongside the therapist to support the teens progress in the program as more of a mentor or coach.
