While each teenager is unique, we can safely say that our RTC program is probably not a good option for an individual who has never received any treatment at all for mental health, addiction, or behavioral issues. Residential treatment is an extreme step to take, and teens rarely need this level of care without passing through less intensive levels of care first.
What should teens bring to residential treatment?
Most residential treatment centers for youth in California will recommend to bring the following for your teen: Comfortable & Age-appropriate clothing, Approved Prescription Medications, Mementos, and School books & Assignments. Adolescent residential treatment centers in California will have different limitations and requirements and it’s important to clarify what their specific rules are, especially when identifying contraband items.
