What is Residential Treatment for Behavioral Health?

Residential treatment facilities like Teen Challenge Adventure Ranch provide an immersive, structured environment with 24/7 support and care from licensed and trained mental and behavioral health professionals. Daily schedules incorporate therapuetic activities, education, and personal or spiritual growth elements to provide a holistic approach to treatment. 

RTC

Individual Therapy

Teens work one-on-one with a dedicated, licensed therapist using a trauma-informed approach that promotes self-led exploration of thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. Our therapists use evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), accelerated resolution therapy (ART), and mindfulness-based techniques.

IOP

Group Therapy

Boys participate in therapist-led group therapy activities with peers, fostering connection and enabling them to practice social skills in a safe setting. At TCAR, we provide a variety of group activities ranging from mindfulness to outdoor adventure.

Family Therapy

Part of the healing process involves improving communication and strengthening relationships with parents. Our therapists will facilitate building this foundation through family therapy sessions focused on addressing relational dynamics as factors in behavior.

Christ-Centered, Clinically-Minded Treatment with a 'Whole-Person' Approach

Intervention Model

Academic Repair

Our long-term residential therapy program provides opportunities to get or stay on track to graduate from high school. We utilize individualized academic plans to accommodate a wide variety of needs ranging from behavioral challenges in the classroom to diagnosed learning disabilities or mental health-related obstacles to learning. We provide accredited and flexible academic tracks, as well as GED-prep tracks based on individual circumstances and goals. Students in our academic programs will benefit from the support of certified teachers and specialized tutors with a ratio of 9:1 in the classroom.

Equine Therapy

Human-animal interactions provide therapeutic benefit for boys in all levels of care. We routinely utilize horses to provide variety and stimulation that helps boys overcome obstacles to participating in traditional therapy. Equine-assisted psychotherapy actually helps promote the development of therapeutic bonds, an emotional connection that enables an individual to effectively participate in therapy services. We find that equine therapy is often effective even when other types of therapy have failed. All equine activities are facilitated by designated, trained staff members and debriefed by a licensed therapist.

Family Reconnect

We believe in residential treatment that brings renewal to every family that is struggling with a teen in crisis. We encourage family involvement throughout the therapeutic process through family therapy sessions, case manager check ins, frequent communication, parent support groups, book studies, coaching town halls, and RECONNECT weekends on our campus. We understand that placement in a residential treatment facility is a challenging adjustment. We want to support our families through their journey so that everyone can find healing and renewal, supporting sustainable, long-term recovery.

Outdoor Adventure

Experiential learning is an incredible tool to build self-confidence, improve communication, and grow trust. We utilize outdoor adventure to provide high-engagement, structured, therapeutic activities that supplement the clinical residential treatment services that we provide. Safety is our number one goal. All Outdoor Adventure activities are facilitated by experienced, trained, and certified instructors and all participants are screened for mental and physical health, ensuring their personal safety at all times. Our OA curriculum includes hiking, camping, fishing, rock climbing, rappelling, ziplining, canoeing, kayaking, and more.

Clinical Therapy

Our treatment program begins and ends with effective, evidence-based clinical treatment. Psychiatric evaluation and medication management is provided on-site by a double board-certified APRN. 24-Hour skilled nursing manages the day-to-day administration of medications and monitoring of physical health. And Christian, licensed mental health therapists with advanced training in accelerated resolution therapy (ART), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based therapy provide trauma-based mental healthcare as the foundation of our daily residential care schedules.
