What is a group home?
A group home is a supervised residential facility where a small number of teens live together. It provides a nurturing and supportive environment that encourages social interaction and facilitates the development of essential life skills.
Group homes are safe havens for teens who can no longer live with their families. They can be state-operated or privately owned and house boys, girls, or both.
Quality of care can differ widely between group homes, whether state-run or privately managed.
Group homes for teens in Boise have their limitations
Although they provide stability, traditional group homes typically don’t have the resources to address the needs of teens struggling with significant behavioral challenges. This is due to:
- Insufficient specialized care: While providing basic care and therapy, traditional group homes may not have specialized programs that meet the needs of those with serious mental health or behavioral challenges.
- Limited individual attention: Most group homes don’t have enough staff to provide individualized attention to teens who require more support.
- Inadequate educational support: Teen group homes in Boise offer limited academic support, potentially hindering adolescents’ academic progress.
To get the best care for your troubled teen, you need to understand these limitations. But be aware that there are options that might be a better fit for your child’s needs—like Avery’s House!
Teen residential treatment centers
Residential treatment centers for teens offer more specialized care than traditional group homes. They provide tailored treatment that teaches teens important life skills and coping skills, helping them deal with challenges in the long run.
Specialized interventions
Residential treatment facilities provide targeted therapeutic interventions such as individual therapy, group sessions, and family counseling, all tailored to meet specific needs.
Personalized treatment
Programs are meticulously designed to cater to each resident’s unique needs, steering clear of a generalized, one-size-fits-all methodology.
Educational support
Residential treatment facilities typically offer a range of educational opportunities, allowing teens to continue their schooling while in treatment.
Our adolescent treatment center in Boise may be ideal if your teen…
- Requires one-on-one attention from therapists and clinicians for emotional validation and support
- Recently completed a psychiatric stabilization program in a hospital or other inpatient setting
- Tried outpatient options like Partial Hospitalization Programs (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), but needed additional support
Residential treatment facilities take a comprehensive, holistic approach to care, addressing the root causes of your child’s challenges while guiding them towards long-term recovery.
