BlueRock is a Level II residential placement option for youth ages 12-17 with an average length of stay of 90-180 days.  Our program provides key therapeutic interventions through both our residential treatment and emergency placement services. 

BlueRock serves adolescents (ages 12-17) of all genders with emotional, behavioral, or mental health disorders.  Our relationship-based model of care and experiential approach is designed specifically to meet the needs of adolescents/teens.

Our clients often face challenges related to depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, body image, self-harm, suicidal ideation, family conflict, ADHD, academic struggles, grief, low self-esteem, trauma, adoption and attachment issues, and high-functioning autism spectrum disorder.

Our short-term program is designed to be completed in 90-180 days.  Additionally, we offer a limited number of emergency placement beds.

Our fully accredited and licensed academic program provides in-person, instructor-led classes in a traditional classroom setting. Our classes are small, typically with no more than 8 students per class.

Family work is critical for the long-term success of our students. Each family will have a weekly family therapy session and specific treatment goals to help heal the entire family. Additionally, we want and encourage families to visit their students on campus. We hold regularly scheduled family seminars, which serve as immersive, on-campus experiences for the entire family.

All staff complete extensive training in Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI), an evidence-based program developed at Cornell University that promotes trauma-sensitive environments where youth and staff both feel safe. Staff are also certified in First Aid and CPR and must pass a criminal background check. Most have experience working with adolescents or hold undergraduate degrees in psychology or related fields.
