What is Teen Inpatient Treatment
Inpatient treatment for teens is a structured and intensive form of care designed to address severe mental health or behavioral health challenges. Unlike outpatient care, inpatient treatment provides 24/7 support in a residential setting, ensuring that your teen has access to around-the-clock care and supervision. This level of treatment is often recommended for teenagers who require a safe and controlled environment to stabilize, process their experiences, and develop healthier coping mechanisms.
Our inpatient program is built around a holistic approach that incorporates individual therapy, group counseling, educational support, and recreational activities. By addressing the mind, body, and spirit, we aim to provide comprehensive care that fosters long-term recovery and personal growth.
What Can I Expect When My Teen Goes to Inpatient Treatment?
When your teen enters our inpatient program, they will be surrounded by a team of experienced and compassionate professionals dedicated to their care. The process begins with a thorough assessment to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their specific challenges and goals.
During their stay, your teen will:
- Participate in individual therapy sessions with licensed clinicians to explore underlying issues and build coping skills.
- Attend group therapy sessions to foster connection and learn from peers facing similar challenges.
- Engage in family therapy to improve communication and strengthen relationships within the family unit.
- Benefit from structured daily routines that promote stability and healthy habits.
- Enjoy therapeutic recreational activities such as art therapy, yoga, and outdoor adventures.
- Receive educational support to ensure they stay on track academically while focusing on their well-being.

Family Involvement in the Inpatient Treatment Process
At Beachside Teen Treatment Center, we believe family involvement is a vital component of successful inpatient treatment.
According to the Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, family-based therapy leads to retention rates as high as 80%, versus around 50% for individual-only therapy.
Throughout the process, families are encouraged to actively participate in their teen’s recovery journey.Â
This includes family therapy sessions designed to improve communication, address unresolved conflicts, and build a stronger support system. Our team provides parents with education and tools to better understand their teen’s challenges and foster a healthier home environment. By working together, we create a foundation for long-term success and healing.
Our goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment where your teen can heal, grow, and rediscover their potential.
