The center in Prineville, Oregon is situated north of North West Dodson Drive, and south of Stryker II Field. It offers a trusted adolescent residential program for teens ages 12–17 struggling with co-occurring substance use and mental health disorders. This co-ed program provides 24-hour structured care, helping teens distance themselves from negative influences while receiving support from licensed therapists, addiction counselors, peer mentors, and certified recovery mentors who provide ongoing advocacy and support.
The program centers on Collaborative Problem Solving (CPS), a strengths-based, trauma-informed approach that sees challenging behavior as skill deficits rather than defiance. CPS teaches problem-solving, emotional regulation, and communication skills to help teens improve behavior and build healthier relationships.
It also uses evidence-based therapies such as
cognitive behavioral therapy (
CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (
DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), peer support, and family counseling. Clients have regular access to
holistic supports like equine therapy, a climbing wall, and wellness activities. Certified recovery mentors offer peer support, helping clients and families connect to resources, reduce barriers, and stay engaged during and after treatment.
Evidence-Based Context: According to SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (2023), approximately 48.7 million Americans aged 12 or older had a substance use disorder in the past year. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) emphasizes that treatment programs combining behavioral therapy with medication-assisted approaches show the highest rates of sustained recovery. Facilities like Rimrock Trails Prineville Residential provide structured pathways to evidence-based care.
