Family Program
Family involvement is very important to the adolescent healing process.
Our adolescent Family Workshop is designed to address family issues and provide information on communication and the recovery process. The program incorporates educational presentations, group process and experiential activities.
In addition to our Family Workshop, the primary therapist and family therapist will be in contact with the adolescent’s parents on a regular basis. The therapists will update parents on the adolescent’s progress and schedule any family therapy session’s.
We strive to provide a safe and intimate environment where residents and families can experience renewed hope for the future. The expertise and compassion of the clinical and medical staff prepare patients, family and friends with the essential tools they need to return home with renewed clarity and confidence to live healthy and productive lives.
Academics
It is important to us that our adolescent clients do not fall behind in school while in treatment and remain on track for graduation. Each client attends our on-site school for a few hours each morning. Our school facilitator helps students learn a variety of academic subjects from our on-line curriculum. If the student chooses to participate in the on-line curriculum, they will work on a variety of coursework from the extensive core curriculum library. Students also have the option to bring current coursework from their home school.
Outpatient Services
Outpatient treatment for adolescents is offered at the Rosewood Tempe location.
Rosewood Tempe Outpatient Clinic is a general outpatient counseling and psychiatric services program that is specifically designed to meet the needs of our clients. We are here to help with a broad range of issues from depression, anxiety, trauma, behavioral problems, addictions, family or relationship conflicts, and eating disorders. The purpose of the Rosewood Intensive Outpatient program is two fold:
- To provide therapy for adults and adolescents who have an eating disorder diagnosis but do not meet the criteria for inpatient treatment.
- To provide transitional support for adults and adolescents who have completed an inpatient eating disorder treatment program.
Description of Services:
Counseling services are provided by a Licensed Counselor and include individual, group, and when indicated, family therapy. Group counseling is offered six days a week, Monday through Saturday. Individual and family counseling maybe scheduled on an "as needed" basis. Co-occurring problems such as substance abuse, post traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and other related issues are also treated in conjunction with the client's eating disorder.
Adolescents are separate from adult clients. They have their own Therapist and all groups are age appropriate.
Family Week is an intensive 5-day program designed to make patients and their families aware of the dynamics of eating disorders.
Participants learn how family systems operate, and how eating disorders, addictions and other disorders negatively impact communications while learning to share thoughts and feelings in a non-judge- mental way. We believe that when families work together and support one another, dysfunctional patterns can be broken and inter- generational patterns arrested.
Family members are supported in making decisions on how to change these patterns into healthier means of interaction resulting in more functional relationships.
