Residential Trauma Treatment

Program For Teens

Your worst nightmare as a parent is seeing your child suffer while you watch
helplessly on the sidelines. You don’t understand why they’re suffering or what
you can do to make the pain go away.

But as their parent, you are actually in the best position to help your child
recover. All it takes is getting your child help at a treatment center designed to
handle teen trauma.

Red Mountain Colorado is an inpatient trauma and PTSD treatment center for
teens that is built upon emotional safety, competence, compassion and
consistency. The mission of our trauma treatment center is to help your child
recover from trauma and grow into a healthy, stable adult.

What is Teen Trauma and PTSD?

Did you know that over 60 percent of teenagers aged 13 to 17 have experienced at
least one traumatic event in their life? A traumatic event is defined as a
distressing experience that has a long-term and lasting effect on an individual’s
physical and emotional well-being.

These distressing events could be as extreme as sexual abuse, emotional abuse,

physical assault, or a life-threatening illness/injury. Or, trauma could occur as a
result of neglect, bullying, grief, witnessing disturbing events, and other chronic
adverse childhood experiences.
If not treated properly, teens oftentimes blame themselves for what happened,
even if it wasn’t their fault. Trauma can also stay with them through the rest of
their lives and manifest as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

PTSD is a psychiatric disorder caused by trauma. Teens with PTSD are oftentimes
“triggered” by people or environments that recall the initial traumatic incident.
This can lead to flashbacks, nightmares, panic attacks, disturbing thoughts and
feelings, and depression.

Our treatment center’s goal is to help your teen recover from their PTSD and
work through the trauma they’ve faced so that it doesn’t stunt their growth and
stay with them through the rest of their lives.

The Red Mountain Colorado Approach

Red Mountain Colorado is a trauma-informed program. This means that we
take a holistic approach to working with teens whose lives have been upended by
any form of trauma, taking into account physical, psychological, emotional, and
spiritual dimensions of treatment.

During your teen’s treatment, they will work with a skilled therapist in a safe
environment to address what they’ve gone through and heal from it. We tailor
your teen’s treatment to their specific needs and the type of trauma they’re
struggling with, leveraging different therapy modalities like CBT, DBT, EMDR,
Somatic Experiencing and other mindfulness-based techniques.

Our teen trauma program also incorporates experiential and adventure therapy.
We know that every teen responds differently to treatment programs. For
example, martial arts may help one teen eliminate the fear of future abuse, while
meditation and mindfulness may help another teen leave the trauma in the past
where it belongs. Your teen will participate in different types of activities and
experiences in order to regain self-esteem and confidence and improve their well-
being.

Red Mountain Colorado was founded to help troubled teens recover from drug addiction,
alcoholism, and other substance abuse disorders. However, that does not mean that
Residential Treatment Centers substance abuse treatment is all we do. We have had our
own experiences with trauma and know just how much traumatic events can affect
addiction. This is why we are also considered a trauma-specific treatment center. When a
teen struggles with drugs or alcohol and has at least one other mental health condition
present, we call this a dual diagnosis disorder (also known as a co-occurring condition).
Our program is structured to treat both drug and alcohol addiction as well as dual
diagnosis disorders. When your teen arrives at our rehab facility, our staff will assess if
there are any underlying mental health symptoms. With these learnings, we take an
integrated approach to create a path to psychosocial wellness.
