Teen Mental Health Treatment Center in Utah
Our Treatment Approach
What sets Basecamp Academy apart is our focus on adolescent and teen boys as well as our dedication to creating a supportive, family-like atmosphere. Our staff is specially trained to work with teenagers and understands the unique challenges young boys face. We incorporate evidence-based practices and innovative therapeutic techniques to ensure our programs are effective and engaging. Our goal is to help teens develop the skills and resilience they need to lead healthy lives.
Programs
Our residential treatment program for teens and adolescents provides a structured and supportive environment where they can focus on their mental health. During their stay, adolescents participate in a variety of therapeutic activities, including individual and group therapy, educational sessions, and recreational activities. Our residential program is designed to help teens build a strong foundation for maintaining good mental health.
Many adolescents with mental health issues also struggle with co-occurring substance abuse, such as drinking or smoking illicit substances. Our dual diagnosis program is designed to treat both conditions simultaneously, providing integrated care that addresses the complex interplay between substance use and mental health. By treating the whole person, we aim to improve overall well-being and reduce the risk of relapse.
Recovery doesn’t end when a teen leaves our facility. Our aftercare program provides ongoing support to help adolescents transition back to their everyday lives. We offer resources and guidance to ensure they continue to make progress in their recovery. Our aftercare services include outpatient therapy, support groups, and regular check-ins to help teens stay on track and maintain their mental wellness.
Therapy for Adolescent Mental Health
Individual therapy is a key component of our treatment program. During one-on-one sessions, teens work with a licensed therapist to address unwanted thoughts or behaviors that result from mental health disorders, like anxiety. If a boy also struggles with substance abuse they may explore the underlying causes of their substance use and develop personalized strategies for recovery. These sessions provide a safe and confidential space for adolescents to discuss their thoughts and feelings, build self-awareness, and develop healthy coping mechanisms.
Group therapy offers adolescents the opportunity to connect with peers who are going through similar experiences. In these sessions, teens share their challenges and successes, learn from each other, and build a sense of community and support. Group therapy helps adolescents develop social skills, gain new perspectives, and feel less isolated in their recovery journey.
