Help for Troubled Teen Girls
Finding the right kind of help for your troubled teenage daughter is the first step to getting her back on a successful and meaningful path in life. The typical length of enrollment for our students is 6 to 9 months. Parents understand that in order to achieve lasting change, their daughter must complete their full program to reach their full potential. Our therapeutically sophisticated approach maximizes the clinical, academic and residential experience for our students, leading them to success and genuine change.

Sunrise insists on a selective admission policy to maintain the positive environment we believe is necessary for personal growth and change. Often troubled teens with negative behavior are unable to correct that behavior when entering residential programs that have high enrollments. Our enrollment of 16 per house at any given time allows for individualized and focused treatment of a variety of problems for struggling teen girls 12-18 years old.
Common length of stay for Struggling Teen Girls
Hospitals have traditionally treated adolescents in an emotional or mental health crisis. The hospital setting typically focuses on medical stability and medication management, and runs an approximate 9-12 month program, which can be very costly. Most Residential Treatment Centers or Boarding Schools usually require a 12 to 18 month length of stay, where Sunrise utilizes a different approach, and achieves results with our students in a shorter amount of time. We are a fully licensed and accredited residential treatment center (RTC). We have created a positive, family-style environment where our girls find their own empowerment, independence, and gain emotional maturity. Our length of stay tends to be shorter than many other RTCs, because we individualize each girls treatment plan and maintain a small community for the girls to interact in. We have no predetermined notions about how long any given student will be with us. Like so many things at Sunrise, length of stay is individualized to meet the needs of each student.
