Our Developmental Approach
Adolescence is a period of self-discovery and identity formation. Successfully navigating this stage leads to a strong sense of self. Understanding oneself is crucial for making healthy, value-based decisions. Research suggests that lacking self-awareness increases susceptibility to:
- Substance use
- Peer pressure
- Emotional and behavioral volatility
- Depression
- Anxiety
When individuals experience role confusion, they make choices they regret and fail to understand their feelings and actions. Individuals will also try many unhealthy things, such as:
- Drug and alcohol use
- Excessive playing of video games
- Excessive cell phone use
- Skipping school
- Behavioral issues
- Defiance
They do this to ease the sense of emptiness they feel. Regrettably, the decisions made in role confusion are often so troubling that they demand urgent family intervention. The clinical team at Foothills at Red Oak Recovery® addresses the whole person, aiming for symptom relief, behavior modification, and a genuine, healthy self-awareness.
Our Therapies
Our goal is to help adolescent boys find the hope that they lost so they can achieve the goals they have for themselves. This focused approach to wellness includes individual therapy, group therapy, milieu therapy, family therapy, equine therapy, and recreation therapy.
In addition to group and individual therapy, therapists at Foothills at Red Oak Recovery® use various experiential interventions like equine therapy, ropes courses, adventure activities, sports, yoga, and mindfulness. The clinical team actively engages with each client to help integrate therapy insights into daily interactions. This real-time clinical approach in a small, nurturing environment enhances transferable skills to other settings.
Our Treatments
With our wide range of services and treatment options, our team can help your teen through a number of concerns. We provide the following:
- Substance use treatment: For some, using substances is a way to experiment with the unknown. Teens often choose substance use to explore self-discovery. For others, it’s an escape from stress, managing anxiety or depression. Treatment can address use before it escalates.
- Co-occurring issues: Mental health issues combined with substance use make living a normal life impossible. Through treatment, teens can learn early on how to manage co-occurring issues successfully.
- Trauma treatment: Traumatic events can leave a serious impression on adolescents and teens. Trauma treatment allows our clients to heal and move through their trauma in a healthy way.
- Process addiction treatment: Process addiction happens when someone feels compelled to repeat activities, such as excessive cell phone use, video gaming, or prolonged technology interaction. Treatment aids clients in handling these compulsions.
- Disordered eating treatment: Many teens face self-acceptance challenges during these years. Issues with body image can lead to disordered eating or unhealthy exercise habits. Our treatment promotes a positive food and exercise connection.
