Overview of our Residential Treatment Program - A Complete Program
We know that while your daughter is going through her own healing process, she needs a home that
can meet all of her needs. All girls need safety, compassion, protection,
guidance, education, fun, and love. So Sunrise offers balanced programming that addresses a teen girl's
therapeutic, academic, and life skills needs in a homelike setting.
In keeping with our commitment to balance, Sunrise is the only teen girls' residential treatment program
that offers all three phases of treatment (stabilization and assessment, treatment, and transition) from a single location
and with a consistent licensed staff.
Since many treatment professionals recommend a three-phase process for
adolescents struggling with emotional or behavioral issues, many adolescents attend several programs-one
for each treatment phase. This approach can be both lengthy and costly. Our secure facility and
in-town location has allowed us to create a program uniquely equipped to address
all three phases of treatment.
The assessment and stabilization phase ensures that your daughter receives the type of
treatment she really
needs and that she is stabilized enough to engage treatment. The treatment phase is where deep personal
and family work takes place so that the young person can grow in understanding, confidence, and wholeness.
The transition phase ensures that changes made in treatment are practiced in a real world context so that
they can survive the return home. Sunrise advocates a three-phase approach to treatment, but we also
advocate offering all three phases in one setting.
The advantages of a one-program solution include:
- Accelerated results: less time away from home and less expense
- More continuity and fewer disruptions during the treatment process
- A more thorough understanding of the young person's needs throughout treatment
- A healthy continuity of relationship between the young woman and her therapists and teachers
- Less academic disruption and less falling behind
- Treatment phases that are informed by a long-term understanding of the young person
- Healing is optimized in a stable community
- Lasting therapeutic outcomes-success that survives the return home
A Balanced Program
At Sunrise, we have created a program that balances complementary features in order to provide a holistic healing process for our girls-a process that addresses the specific needs of the individual while offering a broad-based growth experience. Not only does this create a more therapeutic environment, but it creates a sense of normalcy and comfort for our girls. By designing our program elements with balance in mind, we ensure that in the process of focusing on a girl's issues, we don't forget the rest of her!
