Get to the Root Cause

The Ridge RTC’s approach goes beyond managing negative coping skills, focusing instead on the deeper emotional and mental health issues that drive behaviors. The program includes various therapeutic modalities, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and experiential therapies like art therapy, equine therapy, and music therapy. The aim is to provide comprehensive and intensive mental health care that supports overall well-being and self-care.

Experience Nature-Inspired Healing

The Ridge RTC offers two distinct residential programs: the Farmhouse and Lakehouse, each providing unique environments and therapeutic experiences. While both locations offer settings that emphasize a close-knit, community-oriented approach to treatment, the dual locations allow for smaller groups and ensure clients are placed with appropriate ages and presenting issues. Farmhouse focuses on creating a supportive and nurturing atmosphere where teens can engage in various therapeutic activities, including equine therapy and horticulture. On the other hand, the Lakehouse provides a tranquil lakeside environment that integrates water-based activities and mindfulness practices into its therapeutic regimen, offering a peaceful retreat that helps teens connect with nature and themselves. Both programs are designed to address the core emotional and mental health issues of teens, but they cater to different preferences and therapeutic needs, ensuring a personalized and effective treatment experience.

This commitment to expanding access demonstrates The Ridge RTC’s dedication to supporting teens and their families in their journey towards recovery and well-being. By removing financial barriers, The Ridge RTC strives to make a positive impact on the lives of those in need.
