Benefits of Youth Outpatient Program

Robust Clinical Model

While many programs focus solely on addressing addiction, Crow’s Nest Ranch goes above and beyond. We understand that addiction is often just one piece of the puzzle. That's why we tackle underlying issues and equip our clients with comprehensive tools to build a new, happy, healthy life. Our approach is an unwavering commitment to empowering individuals on their journey to recovery.

Healing The Whole Family

We recognize that family involvement is key to achieving sustainable healing, and our clinical model shifts the focus from the patient as the “problem” to the family as the solution. Strengthening authentic connections with self and others—including healing disruptions in the parent-child bond—is at the heart of our treatment approach. Youth in our outpatient programs build self-compassion, resilience, healthy coping skills, and more trusting relationships with parents and peers.

Peer Support

Each patient will exit our program with a relapse prevention plan to help with their long-term recovery. We begin developing this plan with the patient and include family where best fit. Every post-treatment plan will feature a daily sober living journal with tips and reminders, access to local, teen-oriented meetings, and options to continue in weekly groups as needed.
