Arizona’s Leading Teen Residential Treatment Center Near Apache Junction, AZ

There are certain signs that you can look for. High staff turnover, no accreditation, or relying on medication dosages instead of therapy can point to poor quality care. You should also be cautious if the facility seems more interested in revenue than your teen’s well-being.

Begin with care fundamentals, the therapies used, therapists’ qualifications, and emergency protocols. From there, ask how they include families and what aftercare support your teen will have after discharge. You should also ask if they have any sustainable results for the public. Lastly, ask which respected organizations they are licensed or accredited with in the field. For example, Nexus Teen Academy is licensed by the ADHS.

At this time, we do not offer scholarship funds. However, if your insurance does not cover treatment, we may be able to arrange an SCA, which stands for Single Case Agreement. An SCA is a case-by-case agreement between a healthcare provider, such as a rehab facility, and an insurance company. It can allow a client to receive care at a facility that is normally out of network while still using the client’s insurance benefits. These agreements are negotiated on a case-by-case basis.

The treatment at Nexus Teen Academy is highly individualized, so the length of the program depends on each teen’s needs and circumstances. On average, the length of stay is about 30 to 60 days.

In our residential rehab, teens learn various types of life skills like managing stress, problem-solving, self-care, communication, and financial skills. Likewise, they also learn how to stay organized, think ahead, and follow through on plans. This combination helps them feel more confident and capable when they get back to their school, family, and community life.

We have trained staff members who supervise each teen 24/7 and respond quickly when support is needed. At the same time, we rely on structured rules and procedures that support safety and help maintain a positive & safe living environment.

Our Ivy League-educated teacher helps teens manage their coursework and keeps families updated on progress during their time in our care. Besides this, we also coordinate with the teen’s school and follow the school board’s decisions on their leave of absence, helping make the transition back to school after treatment feel easy.

Yes. We do allow parents to visit, tour the facility, and meet members of our treatment team.

The importance of this question is easy to miss, but it affects safety and outcomes. Many rehabs do not have stringent admissions criteria. In those situations, teens may be exposed, frequently and unnecessarily, to peers who introduce destructive behaviors and dangers. That’s why at Nexus Teen Academy, we rely on a thorough screening process to make sure each teen accepted is an appropriate fit for our environment.

At Nexus Teen Academy, the treatment is led by our team of highly qualified professionals who have spent their careers treating substance abuse and mental health disorders in teens. The clinical staff includes psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, addiction specialists, and licensed therapists.

At Nexus Teen Academy, safeguarding your teen’s confidentiality and privacy is the most important part of our legal and ethical responsibility. We are required by federal and state law to maintain the privacy of health information. We also protect the privacy and security of substance use disorder patient records in accordance with 42 U.S.C. § 290dd-2 and 42 C.F.R. Part 2, the Confidentiality of Substance Use Disorder Patient Records (“Part 2”), in addition to the requirements of HIPAA and applicable state law.
