Adolescent Care for Youth 13-18
Residential Treatment for Teens 13 – 18
Teens struggling with depression, anxiety, ASD, ADD/ADHD, and PTSD in need of video game addiction treatment, and support for screen dependence
Serenity Mountain Campus | Located in the Pacific Northwest, east of Seattle
For more than 8 years, reSTART has been petitioned by parents and professionals to build a program to meet the distinct needs of today’s adolescent youth. Whether a person needs Internet video game addiction treatment (IVGA), or help with Internet gaming disorder (IGD), screen-time addiction treatment, eSports, gaming or social media use, our program is designed to treat the whole person, not just one identified problem. With the opening of our state-of-the-art adolescent teen campus we’ve named Serenity Mountain; behavioral tech problems, mental health and medical conditions are always addressed together.
In a world filled with endless virtual influences impinging on personal and family connection, we are thrilled to have settled on a location rich in chill, and long on calm. At a time in an adolescent’s life when everything seems in commotion, the sprawling 32-acre Serenity Mountain campus offers inspiration, awe and wonder at every footstep – an important aspect of healing. Nature, along with our professionally trained clinicians, assist young people in better understanding technology related behavioral distractions, and the impact use has on them and their entire family. This whole-person, whole-family natural approach to care fosters hope for families struggling to manage a child’s use on their own. Located on adjoining properties are two licensed staffed residential care homes, which we call Sky Ridge and Wood Creek. Each home is designed with young people in mind, and can care for a maximum of 8 in each home, for a total of 16. These small group sizes afford a real sense of community, connection, safety and support.
reSTART offers the following services for adolescents:
INTENSIVE ASSESSMENT PROGRAM | In-depth Assessment and Evaluation*
Our Intensive assessment phase is designed for a comprehensive evaluation of individual and family functioning. Length of stay differs by person, and typically runs about 12-16 weeks. During this time, our specialized team of skilled clinicians works with individuals and their families to better understand the complex nature of digital media use, video game addiction, the inherent developmental challenges being faced, and the underlying medical and mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, social anxiety, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), post-traumatic stress (PTSD) and other traumas which complicate a desire to change. Together with the clinical team, a life-balance plan is developed to address all aspects of an adolescent’s life.
SUSTAINABLE THERAPEUTIC PROGRAM | Boarding School 6-12 Months*
For those requiring longer term care, our Sustainable Therapeutic extended care program provides year-round support, with a typical stay lasting 6-12 months. Individuals transitioning from a intensive primary care setting** are eligible for direct admission into the sustainable therapeutic program.
