At BlueRock Behavioral Health, we understand that each adolescent’s mental health journey is unique. Our comprehensive treatment approach addresses a wide range of mental health challenges while considering each teen’s individual needs, strengths, and circumstances. Through years of experience, we’ve developed effective approaches for treating various mental health conditions that affect adolescents.
Understanding Our Treatment Scope
We specialize in treating adolescents struggling with anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Our team has extensive experience addressing depression and mood disorders, from major depressive disorder to bipolar disorder and treatment-resistant depression.
Trauma and PTSD treatment forms a significant part of our practice, encompassing both complex trauma and single-incident trauma. We understand the deep impact of attachment issues and provide specialized support for grief and loss. Behavioral challenges, including oppositional defiant disorder and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, receive careful attention through our structured program.
Our expertise extends to supporting teens struggling with self-esteem and identity issues, family relationship difficulties, and social skills challenges. We work effectively with students experiencing executive functioning deficits, emerging personality features, and high-functioning autism spectrum disorder.
Our Comprehensive Assessment Process
Treatment begins with a thorough evaluation that forms the foundation for individualized care. Our clinical team conducts a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, supplemented by psychological testing when needed. We assess academic functioning and carefully evaluate family dynamics to understand the full context of each teen’s situation. Physical health screening and a detailed review of previous treatment inform our approach to each student’s care.
This thorough assessment process allows us to create truly individualized treatment plans that address specific needs and goals. We believe that understanding the whole person – not just their diagnosis – is crucial for effective treatment.
Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches for Mental Health
Our clinical team employs a variety of proven therapeutic modalities, carefully selected to match each student’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps students identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy provides crucial skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. For students dealing with trauma, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers a path to healing and resilience.
Family Systems Therapy addresses patterns and dynamics within the family unit, while our Adventure Therapy program uses outdoor experiences to build confidence and skills. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction techniques help students develop present-moment awareness and coping strategies. Experiential Therapy allows for emotional processing through active engagement and creative expression.
The Power of Our Multidisciplinary Team
Each student’s care is overseen by a comprehensive team of professionals who collaborate closely to ensure integrated treatment. Licensed therapists provide individual and group therapy, while our board-certified psychiatrist oversees medication management when needed. Licensed teachers ensure academic progress continues alongside emotional growth. Adventure therapy specialists, residential counselors, nursing staff, and educational specialists all contribute their expertise to each student’s care plan.
Measuring and Supporting Mental Health Progress
We maintain a commitment to tracking progress through regular treatment team reviews and standardized assessments. Academic performance monitoring, behavioral documentation, and family feedback help us adjust treatment approaches as needed. Our discharge planning process begins from day one, ensuring that gains made during treatment translate to lasting change at home.
Treatment typically spans 90 to 180 days, with the specific duration determined by individual progress and needs. Throughout this time, we maintain clear communication with families about their child’s development and next steps.
The Relationship-Based Foundation
Our treatment philosophy centers on building genuine connections and trust. This approach creates a safe environment for emotional exploration while building self-awareness and insight. Students develop healthy attachment patterns and improve interpersonal skills. Perhaps most importantly, they strengthen family bonds through guided therapeutic work.
The natural advantage of our mountain setting supports this relationship-based approach. The peaceful environment reduces stress and provides opportunities for adventure therapy. Physical activity in nature combines with space for reflection and growth, creating optimal conditions for therapeutic progress.
