About this facility
At Adolescent Alternatives, troubled adolescent males are given a residence to overcome emotional and behavioral struggles. The program focuses on preparing these young individuals for family reunification or independent living, ensuring they are ready to face adulthood's challenges with the tools they need to succeed.
The center offers evidence-based therapies such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT) and Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress (SPARCS). These therapies help teens build coping skills, heal from past trauma, and improve emotional well-being, setting them up to be resilient despite their difficult pasts. In addition to therapy, Adolescent Alternatives provides life skills, social development, and job readiness training to further prepare youth for successful, independent futures.
