An Adolescent Residential Treatment Home
The Arrow House is an in-network transformative treatment program for adolescents, grounded in community, connection, healing, and recovery. We support individuals ages 12–17 and their families who are navigating the complex realities of co-occurring disorders.
At The Arrow House, we offer a different way forward—a path that helps families reconnect and grow stronger together. We understand that the challenges you face aren’t just individual, but often part of a bigger picture. Families come to us not just looking for answers, but hoping for real change, healing, and a sense of direction they can move toward—together.
Compassion Meets Clinical Excellence
Without Compromise
At The Arrow House, we provide a residential treatment program designed to meet teens and families where they are, with clarity, structure, and respect.
Our work is grounded in the understanding that adolescent mental health, behavioral health, and substance use concerns are rarely isolated. They are often interconnected, layered, and shaped by context, development, and lived experience.
This section outlines the core services that define our care and how we support teens and families through a thoughtful, clinically grounded healing journey.
TEEN RESIDENTIAL TREATMENT THAT PRIORITIZES HEALING
The Arrow House is a teen residential treatment center serving adolescents ages 12 to 17. Our residential care model offers intensive care in a safe and supportive environment for teens whose mental health needs cannot be adequately addressed through outpatient treatment alone.
As a residential treatment facility, we provide round-the-clock support within a structured environment that promotes emotional regulation, stability, and well-being. Our setting is intentionally home-like, small-scale, and designed to reduce overwhelm while providing constant support and supervision.
Families often come to us after navigating multiple treatment centers or outpatient care options that were not enough. Our role is to provide comprehensive care when safety concerns, emotional pain, or functional decline require higher-level support.
If you are exploring rehab for teenagers near me or teen residential treatment options, our admissions team is available to help you understand whether residential care is appropriate for your child.
INSPIRING WORDS FROM OUR ALUMNI
COMPREHENSIVE EVALUATION AND INDIVIDUALIZED CARE
Every teen who enters The Arrow House begins with a comprehensive evaluation. This assessment looks beyond symptoms to understand emotional functioning, mental health conditions, family dynamics, academic needs, and any history of substance use or eating disorders.
From this evaluation, we develop an individualized treatment plan that evolves alongside your child’s progress. Treatment is never one-size-fits-all. Each personalized treatment plan is guided by clinical insight, ongoing assessment, and collaboration across our multidisciplinary team.
Our goal is not simply to reduce symptoms, but to achieve meaningful change that supports emotional well-being, self-awareness, and long-term stability.
Evidence-Based Mental Health Treatment
We provide evidence-based therapies that are widely recognized as effective for adolescent mental and behavioral health treatment. These include:
- Individual therapy and Family Therapy
with a licensed mental health professional - Group therapy focused on emotional
regulation, coping skills, and healthy
relationships - Dialectical behavior therapy to support
distress tolerance, emotional regulation,
and interpersonal effectiveness - Cognitive and skills-based approaches
that build healthy coping strategies and
self-awareness
Weekly therapy is combined with a daily therapeutic structure to reinforce learning and application in real time. Teens are supported in understanding their emotional experiences rather than being pushed to suppress them.
This approach allows young people to develop insight, strengthen coping skills, and build the capacity to manage stress both inside and outside treatment.
Psychiatric Care and Medication Management
Psychiatric care is an integrated part of our residential treatment program when clinically appropriate. Our team includes board-certified psychiatrists and psychiatric providers who specialize in adolescent mental health.
Medication management is approached with care and intention. Decisions are informed by comprehensive evaluation, medical history, and ongoing observation. We emphasize collaboration, transparency, and regular review to ensure psychiatric care supports your child’s overall treatment plan.
Our focus is always on safety, stability, and alignment with each teen’s mental health needs rather than medication as a standalone solution.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY
CBT is one of the most trusted and effective forms of talk therapy. It helps teens understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected—and teaches practical tools to manage stress, shift negative thinking, and build healthier habits.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY
CBT is one of the most trusted and effective forms of talk therapy. It helps teens understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected—and teaches practical tools to manage stress, shift negative thinking, and build healthier habits.

“I have been working with Dr. Fiona Ray and her team for ten plus years. Her attention to the individual patients and their families is unprecedented. The clinicians and staff I have worked with are diverse, highly educated, relational and compassionate. What sets them apart is their ability to focus on both mental health and substance use disorders not just simultaneously, but their level of sophistication on the mental health side is exceptional. The communication with other practitioners as well as family members is top notch. They are always accessible for the important situations that may arise in real time. I am thrilled to continue working with their hand picked team at the Arrow House.”

"The Arrow House was the perfect match for my daughter’s needs. From the moment we reached out to get more information, we were greeted by caring and conscientious individuals who patiently answered my questions and explained their treatment process in detail.
When the moment came for my daughter to be admitted, we felt confident going in, knowing the plan, with few surprises. The facility is set in a very humble home-like environment, with all the simple amenities one needs to feel comfortable. The staff is accommodating, but they enforce the rules that have been thoughtfully created to achieve the best results for their patients.
After six weeks of treatment, my daughter returned home with fresh perspective, and the tools necessary to thrive. We are so happy that we chose The Arrow House for treatment and, due to their amazing guidance, we hope to never return. Thank you to everyone, for your love and support."
Grateful Father
The Arrow House was an answer to prayer. I had searched for months to find a good residential treatment facility for my 17 year old son, that could take care of his needs, took my insurance and would actually help. There was nothing in my home state and surrounding states that checked all the boxes. I had sent him to a "reputable" residential facility when he was 13, that was a nightmare and only added to his trauma. One of the facilities I contacted in April said they only took adults but they would find a facility that would take my son and get back with me. In my mind I thought "another dead end!". But when I got a call from Emily at the Arrow House and we talked for a few hours, I knew I had the right place. She eased all my fears and answered all my questions. In June when my son ended up in the hospital after being mentally unstable for months and drinking uncontrollably, I knew it was time for him to go. They got him on the correct medications, trauma therapy I'd desperately tried to find for years, and got him sober. He felt safe and became very close with all the staff and other kids in the program. For him, that really says something. After 3 months in the program, he is home, attending AA meetings, mentally stable and looking forward to getting his life back on track. The staff really treated us all like family, and I can't recommend them enough.
