Program Description

The program operates Monday through Friday from 10:00 am to 3:00pm. As part of the initial evaluation, a mental health and substance use assessment will be conducted. A diagnosis will be determined and level of care recommended. An individualized treatment plan will be developed with input from the adolescent, family, school and our interdisciplinary team. Daily services include, evidenced based therapy component, exercise, group and individual counseling, with an emphasis on family therapy. We are an abstinent based recovery program and require screening for illicit substances as a part of treatment. 

As part of our medical team we have a board certi?ed adolescent Psychiatrist to evaluate and manage mental health issues. Our educational component is led by a state certi?ed teacher, the entire team will have input to ensure the adolescent completes assignments, performs at a level of competence, assists with remedial programming and is in weekly contact with the sending school district.

Goals of PHP

Our goal is to empower adolescents and give them the tools to lead a healthy lifestyle by removing the distractions and barriers keeping them from navigating life’s challenges. We focus on identifying the underlying issue attributing to their substance use and other emotional imbalances. We help process traumatic events, interpersonal issues, family dynamics, physical and emotional difficulties. Our program will help vailidate and identify their feeling and reduce negative thought patterns which, unprocessed, result in anger. 

Soar?t model:

Studies have demonstrated that when PEMF therapy is regularly used, it changes the body’s stress responses by directly acting on major related components, such as the endocrine and nervous systems, along with the cells or organs of the body.

In addition, PEMFs can make the body less reactive to extended episodes of stress. Transcranial PEMF was approved by the FDA in 2011 for treating severe, drug-resistant depression.
