About this facility
Nexus Teen Academy: Mesquite treats teen girls through holistic and comprehensive care for addiction, primary mental health conditions, and co-occurring disorders in a structured residential setting. They address self-harm, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, personality disorders, and more. Nexus Teen Academy offers expert care from compassionate clinical staff and personally tailored, evidence-based treatment combining individual, group, and intensive family therapy in an environment that fosters healing, connection, and growth.
Nexus Teen Academy understands the unique challenges that teen girls and their families face as they navigate addiction and mental health disorders. Their holistic program provides quality evidence-based care and teaches the life skills needed to maintain long-term sobriety. Their residential program offers a safe space for clients to be vulnerable, express themselves authentically, discover passions, and gain purpose to reduce their prior high-risk behaviors. Nexus Teen Academy offers a robust family program with weekly family empowerment groups, weekly visitations, and counseling sessions led by licensed therapists.
Individualized care at Nexus Teen Academy consists of holistic and evidence-based treatment modalities from licensed therapists and professionals. Clients participate in highly structured programs that combine individual therapy, group sessions, and family therapy. Evidence-based treatments include trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing (MI), interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness therapy.
At Nexus Teen Academy, each client is assigned a case manager who monitors treatment plans and offers assistance with outside matters such as legal cases, probation, bills, employment, and more. For lasting support, case managers also assist clients with in-depth aftercare planning. This may include ongoing outpatient care, sober living arrangements, facilitating connections with sponsors and community recovery resources, and securing an ongoing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) provider.
