Adolescent Outpatient Services

Outpatient and partial hospitalization services for adolescents at The Ridge are provided four to five days a week. The Ridge is committed to providing quality behavioral health care and substance abuse services to the community through a team approach led by a psychiatrist, registered nurses, therapists, and addiction counselors.

The treatment process encourages disclosure, acknowledgement, and acceptance to allow and promote change. Participation and attendance are required and both are critical to your success. Your progress is constantly monitored; more intensive or less intensive treatment will be recommended as needed.
