It is heartbreaking for a parent to watch their teen struggling with addiction or behavioral problems. Sometimes, a family will do all they can for a child, but nothing seems to help. In these cases, it may be necessary to consider professional treatment.

Does Your Teen Need Help?
Teenage behavior can be challenging even in the best of times. Sometimes, trying to determine which behavior is normal and what are actual warning signs is difficult. Adolescence is a time when kids are changing rapidly, both physically and emotionally, and discovering more about who they are in the world. However, if those changes result in isolation or poor academic performance, it may be time to consider a treatment center for teens.
What Happens at Treatment Centers for Teens?
Behavioral health treatment centers for teens provide programs that address a child’s emotional, physical, and psychological needs. Teens with conduct disorders, anxiety, depression, substance use disorders, and other mental health concerns can find the professional support they need to thrive at a treatment center.
In addition to traditional therapy, teen centers offer mindfulness training, teen relationship counseling, trauma therapy, and other treatments while maintaining high academic standards. Residential programs provide safe accommodations free of drugs and alcohol where teens benefit from living in a therapeutic environment 24/7.
Does Your Child Need A Treatment Center for Teens?
The teenage years can be a time of turmoil. Still, some warning signs can help parents discern normal teen behavior from emotional and psychological issues requiring professional help. Watch for these signs that your child needs professional help:
- Inappropriate anger or violent behavior
- Symptoms of depression
- Risky sexual behavior or other high-risk behaviors, including drug or alcohol use and skipping school
- Decreased self-care and grooming, such as wearing dirty clothes
- Constant fidgeting or restlessness
- Loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed
- Avoidance of social gatherings, family dinners, and events
- Unusual changes in appetite or extreme weight fluctuations
- Fatigue or lack of energy
- Decline in academic performance
- Negative self-attitude, such as a focus on past failures, mistakes, or inadequacy
- Headaches, stomachaches, and other physical complaints that don’t seem to have a cause
- Self-harm, including unexplained injuries and scratches, blood stains on clothing or bedding, and wearing bandages or long-sleeved clothing
- Suicidal ideation, threats of suicide, or fascination with the subject
Types of Treatment
If your child is exhibiting any of the above warning signs, a teen treatment center can help. Imagine Boise offers a variety of programs to help your teen, including:
- Mental health therapy
- Substance abuse counseling
- Educational support
- Family counseling
You may also find it helpful to consult with your child’s teachers, physicians, and other health care professionals. Mental health professionals are great resources for learning about treatment programs for teens that can best serve your child’s needs.
