What is a group home for teens?
A group home for troubled teens is a place adolescents with behavioral or mental health challenges go when their problems become so acute they must live apart from their families for a while.
If you’re in Twin Falls and caring for a troubled teen with a dizzying array of options, how do you choose quality support for your child? The good news is that excellent treatment is just a short trip away—in Boise. At Avery’s House, we provide a specialized alternative to traditional group homes.
Why traditional group homes for troubled teens may not be worth it
While traditional group homes are usually good at providing a stable environment, they’re not well equipped to meet the needs of teens struggling with severe mental health, behavioral, or substance abuse issues. Here’s where they fall short:
- 🚑 Basic care & support: Group homes offer limited care and can’t handle severe mental health issues.
- 👤 Less personalized attention: They often lack the staff to provide detailed, one-on-one care.
- 📚 Educational gaps: Teens might fall behind academically due to insufficient school support.
- 🛠️ Basic skills: Life skills training in group homes is too basic for teens with serious challenges.
Understanding the limitations of traditional group homes ensures that you won’t waste time and money on a program that falls short when it comes to treating your troubled Twin Falls teen. Instead, consider a specialized treatment center such as Avery’s House.
Residential treatment centers
Unlike traditional group homes, residential treatment centers provide adolescents with the skills and coping skills they need to manage their difficulties long term. Here’s what they receive:
Specialized Therapeutic Interventions
Unlike group homes’ basic treatment, residential centers offer specialized therapies including individual, group, and family sessions.
Tailored Treatment Programs
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, residential centers customize treatment to fit every teen’s unique needs
Educational Support
Residential treatment facilities offer robust educational support, ensuring that your child’s academic needs won’t be neglected while in treatment.
Our adolescent treatment center might be a good fit if your teen…
- Would benefit from personalized attention instead of a cookie-cutter approach
- Recently completed an inpatient or hospital psych stabilization program
- Needs more support and structure than outpatient programs can offer
- Needs a break from familiar surroundings to focus on recovery
As you can see, residential treatment facilities offer more specialized care and attention than what you’ll find in most group homes. This makes them better at meeting the needs of troubled teens.
