Our Teen Treatment Program
If your daughter is struggling with her mental and behavioral health and you feel stuck with knowing how to help you, you are doing the right thing by looking for outside help. We recognize that this is a daunting and heartbreaking point to get to, but this step is one that could bring your daughter, along with your whole family, healing and growth.
You love your daughter so much and sending her away is likely something you never imagined that you’d have to do. You have done everything in your power to help her at home and it is an incredibly brave step to get her help at a residential treatment center.
Thank you for trusting Discovery Ranch South to provide your daughter with the care and support that she needs to thrive in the future.
Compassionate guidance for this difficult step.
Overview of Discovery Ranch South
Any parent of a teenage or preteen girl knows the challenges parents face today. These challenges are compounded when parents care for a teen girl who struggles with ADHD, adoption issues, anxiety, depression, an eating disorder, oppositional defiance, self-harm, or suicidal ideation.
This article will describe how the relationship-based treatment provided at Discovery Ranch South can be instrumental in providing adolescent girls with the support they need to transform their lives.
The integrated approach to care that can be found at the ranch, as described by the CARE model, allows clinicians, teachers, and other staff members to be aware of and address each girl's needs.
Parents are also a vital part of the treatment process. Along with the clinical, academic, residential, and experiential staff members, they are a part of their daughter's treatment team. They play a vital role in guiding their daughter toward healing.
Relationship-Based Treatment
Most girls who come to a residential treatment center are initially unwilling to engage in the treatment process. Discovery Ranch South helps students overcome their initial reluctance by forging solid relationships.
Therapists, teachers, teacher's aides, and mentors all work together to create lasting bonds with students. These relationships become the open doors through which healing can enter.
Parent Involvement
As a parent, you are always a vital part of the treatment process. You will be part of your daughter's treatment team. Together with the other members of the Treatment Team, you will help guide your daughter through the healing process.
You will also receive assistance yourself. During weekly virtual therapy sessions, you will learn how to connect with your daughter in new, healthier ways.
In addition, you will have the opportunity to engage with other parents like you, whose daughters are facing similar challenges. During Parents Days, you can meet with parents whose daughters have faced similar challenges and learn from content experts and each other.
