Care for Your Teen's Health

What We Treat

Your teen can find help at Family First Adolescent Services, no matter the challenges they face. Our team of experts brings clinical sophistication, curiosity, compassion, and safety together to provide support. Going beyond the surface, your teen will learn more about their behaviors, emotions, and situations so they can make lasting changes.

ADHD/ADD Treatment

Inattention, difficulty staying on task or focusing, and poor impulse control can impact every aspect of your son’s life. We provide diagnostic assessments to help you and your son understand what they’re experiencing before developing an effective treatment plan.

Gaming Addiction Treatment

More teens than ever are struggling to break away from technology, devices, and gaming. Without addressing these issues, your son can struggle to connect with the real world, preferring to retreat to the safety, comfort, and community of their virtual environment.

C-PTSD Treatment

Any event, series of events, situations, or relationship dynamics can impact your son’s development. Complex PTSD (C-PTSD) can arise when these factors drastically impact their mental health. We help your teen process trauma and build the skills for healthy coping.

Anxiety Treatment

It’s common for your teen to experience anxiety. The rapid changes brought about by the transition from childhood leave them more susceptible to anxiety than ever before. You might notice them isolating, abandoning commitments, or lashing out at home as they deal with stress.

Depression Treatment

Even happy, carefree children can develop depression in their teenage years. This is a significant obstacle that can seriously impact how your son sees himself, the world around him, and the people who want to connect with him.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Teens often turn to drugs or alcohol as a seemingly easy escape from intense emotions or memories. We can help your teen uncover deep-rooted emotions and unprocessed traumas and safely work through them as they learn healthier coping skills.

A Home Away From Home

Our Residences

The properties at Family First Adolescent Services provide a safe, secure environment that feels like home. The warm, family-style surroundings provide a natural setting for community building, fun, and therapeutic healing. Each property is specifically designed to support our immersive programs, engagement with our teens, and clinical goals.

Comprehensive Mental Health Care

Adolescent Programs

Your teen will engage in treatment programs that are designed to challenge, inspire, and support them as they build skills for the future. Our years of experience with behavioral health programs have helped us develop a specialized approach that meets teens on their level to address what they’re experiencing beneath the surface.
