What is a group home?
A group home is a supervised residential facility where a small group of teens live together. Its purpose is to offer a supportive and structured environment that encourages social interaction and facilitates the development of essential life skills. Group homes serve as safe havens for teens who cannot live with their families for different reasons. They can be state-run or private and may cater exclusively to boys, girls, or co-ed. However, it is crucial to recognize that the quality of care can differ significantly between group homes, irrespective of their governance as state-run or private entities.
Our adolescent treatment center in Boise may be ideal if your teen…
- Requires personalized attention from therapists & clinicians to ensure they remain seen and supported.
- Recently finished an inpatient or hospital-based psychiatric stabilization program.
- Has attempted outpatient programs (PHP or IOP levels) but found the need for increased structure and support.
Group homes for teens have their limitations
Although they provide stability, traditional group homes may not possess the necessary resources to effectively address the needs of teens grappling with severe behavioral issues, mental health disorders, or substance use disorders. The following factors contribute to this limitation:
- Insufficient Specialized Care: Traditional group homes often provide basic care and therapy but frequently lack intensive and specialized programs tailored to address severe mental health or behavioral issues in teens.
- Limited Individual Attention: The structure of group homes may hinder the provision of adequate individual attention and personalized care for troubled teens who require focused support for their severe issues.
- Inadequate Educational Support: While group homes offer a structured environment, their educational support may be limited, potentially impeding the continued academic progress of the teens residing there.
Understanding these limitations is vital to ensuring that your child receives the best possible care. But, it’s also important to know that there’s an alternative that might be a better fit for your child’s needs – specialized residential treatment centers like Avery’s House!
Teen residential treatment centers
Residential treatment centers for teens differ from traditional group homes primarily in the level of care and specialized treatment they offer. Residential programs prioritize equipping adolescents with advanced life skills and coping strategies to manage their challenges in the long term effectively.
Specialized Interventions
Residential treatment facilities offer specific therapeutic interventions, including individual, group, and family therapy.
Personalized Treatment
Programs address the individualized needs of each resident, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach
