Therapeutic Style and Specialties:
The Finest Adolescent Residential Treatment
Northwest Behavioral Healthcare Services provides help to families and
residential treatment for adolescents (ages 12 to 17) with emotional,
behavioral or substance abuse problems. The staff of Northwest has
shown itself to be successful with those more "difficult to treat" ---
especially those with a dual diagnosis who require a secure setting
for their care.
The goal of Northwest's adolescent treatment program is simple --- to make kids well so that they can have a meaningful and satisfying life --- to achieve their own unique level of greatness. That takes patience, compassion, discipline, and understanding. Along with competent professionals, it also takes a diligent parent. Working together, there is hope.
We are grateful for the large number of young persons entrusted to our care over the years, but we are most grateful for the opportunities afforded us to make lasting differences in their lives. We combine keen insight, kind guidance, and caring consistency with a positive peer group under the watchful eye of dedicated, competent professionals and counselors. The young person is led down a path of self-discovery and introspection that will enable them to understand and deal effectively with problems. New habits and attitudes that grow out of healthier choices builds self esteem and confidence. This common-sense system has resulted in solid outcomes, unmatched in the adolescent treatment industry.
Northwest enjoys an outstanding success rate in most every major category used to judge the effectiveness of an adolescent treatment program. Young people are usually referred to Northwest through professional sources (managed care organizations, social service agencies, behavioral health professionals, counselors, independent educational consultants) but direct inquiries from parents are welcomed.
Services Provided
Northwest Behavioral Healthcare Services provides residential services
to troubled youth, ages 12 to 17. The staff of Northwest has shown
itself to be successful with those more "difficult to treat" ---
especially those with a dual diagnosis who require a secure setting
for their care.
Young people with an eating disorder also find special care at
Northwest. As is true with all our services, our approach is centered
on the individual. All aspects of the individual's life are explored
and addressed in a supportive environment. We do not concentrate
solely on the symptoms of the eating disorder or focus on dieting.
Instead individual, family, and group counseling, as well as
nutritional guidance, exercise training, and educational sessions are
all combined to create the path toward recovery.
Having a heart for our community, we provide free teen recovery support groups on the west side of Portland, the east side of Portland, and in Vancouver, Washington. Contact teen recovery groups @ northwestbhs.com for more information. We also provide alcohol assessments by appointment as a free service to local schools. Urinalysis is provided at our lab's cost.
