Individualized care at Nexus Teen Academy consists of holistic and evidence-based treatment modalities from licensed therapists and professionals. Clients participate in highly structured programs that combine individual therapy, group sessions, and family therapy. Evidence-based treatments include trauma-informed cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), motivational interviewing (MI), interpersonal therapy, and mindfulness therapy.
At Nexus Teen Academy, each client is assigned a case manager who monitors treatment plans and offers assistance with outside matters such as legal cases, probation, bills, employment, and more. For lasting support, case managers also assist clients with in-depth aftercare planning. This may include ongoing outpatient care, sober living arrangements, facilitating connections with sponsors and community recovery resources, and securing an ongoing medication-assisted treatment (MAT) provider.
