Individualized treatment plans (ITPs) are not merely a component of the therapeutic process at Sundance Canyon Academy; they are the cornerstone. We understand that every teen who walks through our doors has a unique story, with their own set of challenges, strengths, and aspirations. This is why our ITPs, designed specifically for troubled teens, are so crucial.
The Sundance Approach to ITPs:
Developing an ITP is a thoughtful, thorough process that begins with a comprehensive assessment. This initial stage can take a few days up to a couple of weeks, ensuring that we truly understand your teen's needs. The assessment consists of a combination of psychological evaluations, academic assessments, medical examinations, and a deep dive into your family's history.
Once we've gathered all the necessary information, we craft a personalized treatment plan. This roadmap serves as our guiding light in your teen's healing journey, outlining the strategies and therapies that we believe will most effectively help your teenager thrive.
Parental Involvement:
At Sundance Canyon Academy, we cannot overstate the importance of parental involvement in the creation and execution of the ITP. Parental support significantly contributes to the success of a troubled teenager's recovery. We incorporate family therapy sessions and parent workshops into our programs, which are instrumental in ensuring you are a part of your teen's growth and development every step of the way.
Execution of the Individualized Treatment Plan:
ITPs are brought to life by our multidisciplinary team of professionals, all committed to helping your teenager grow. Our team may include therapists, teachers, medical professionals, and even mentors or coaches depending on your teenager's interests and needs.
We use a variety of strategies like individual therapy, group therapy, family therapy, academic support, medication (if necessary), and life skill-building activities. Depending on your teen's needs, we may use therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-focused therapy.
Our team regularly monitors your teen's progress, adjusting the ITP as necessary. This responsive approach ensures that your teen's treatment remains aligned with their evolving needs and growth.
At Sundance Canyon Academy, we believe in the power of personalized care, a belief that forms the foundation of our individualized treatment plans. By placing your teen at the center of the treatment process, we ensure their unique needs are addressed while fostering their strengths and aspirations. This comprehensive, family-inclusive approach paves the way for lasting transformation and success.
