An Enhanced Support Program Tailored for Teens and Adolescents
At Ridge RTC, we want to emphasize that we don’t view our work as simply providing “troubled teen” behavioral modification. Instead, we see ourselves as caring, supportive allies on the path of transformation, growth, and healing. Our primary goal is to connect with and address the specific therapeutic needs of adolescents who require intervention by providing a focused and structured program that prioritizes therapy and deep attention to their specific emotional needs. We understand that each adolescent we serve is unique and has unique challenges, which is why we offer specialized therapies and treatment activities tailored to their individual challenges and strengths.
In addition to our therapeutic interventions, we emphasize creating a nurturing and positive environment at Ridge RTC. Our treatment program is designed to immerse adolescents in healthy and positive lifestyle habits that they can carry forward beyond our program. We believe this approach helps cultivate independence in our clients, helping them develop skills and habits to lead successful and healthy lives.
Ridge RTC offers a unique mental health residential treatment program designed to provide increased support, structure, and therapy for adolescents and teens. While mental health treatment is our primary focus, we also address substance in teens and adolescents. As such, Ridge RTC offers interventions and tailored support to address substance use alongside mental health concerns.

A Reputable Adolescent & Teen Residential Mental Health Treatment Program
Our unwavering commitment to the well-being of our clients is what truly sets us apart. This commitment has guided us to not only meet but surpass industry accreditation and licensing standards of care.
Ridge RTC programs aim to stabilize, assess, and prepare our clients for a fulfilling life beyond our program. We promote a healthy lifestyle that includes physical activity, exposure to nature, a balanced diet, community contributions, and accountability. Outdoor experiential activities are an essential component of our mental and behavioral health treatment programs, and we offer structured sessions in yoga, music, art, and other experiential modalities. We believe that providing more structure and less “free time” leads to better outcomes, so we focus on outdoor programming that utilizes the Shortridge trail network for hiking, biking, and snowshoeing, as well as the “Base Camp” location featuring other engaging experiential initiatives.
