At High Focus Centers, treatment is customized to fit the needs of the individual, optimizing chances of a successful recovery and improvement in functioning. High Focus Centers provides highly structured, specialized treatment programs for adolescents who are struggling with behavioral health or substance abuse issues and are looking to change the course of their life and reach their full potential.
It is estimated that 1 out of 5 children living in the U.S. experience a behavioral, mental or emotional health disorder. However, with appropriate identification, evaluation, and treatment, children living with these disorders can lead productive lives. Inspira offers a wide range of programs for children and adolescents across southern New Jersey. Our team provides the highest quality care to patients and their families through individualized treatment plans.
Over the past two decades, Princeton House Behavioral Health has helped thousands of teenagers address behavioral health issues and recover from addictions to alcohol, drugs, and prescription medications. We offer a full array of outpatient programs that address the specific needs of adolescents ages 13 to 18 who are having trouble functioning at school, at home, or with peers.
Adolescence is a time of growth, development and change. It’s a time when young people form a positive self-image and learn to be independent and responsible. But for many young people, these challenges cause emotional distress, resulting in self-defeating behaviors that include depression, substance use, school problems and family conflicts. Whether these behavioral problems are due to medical or environmental factors, Hampton Behavioral Health Center’s adolescent treatment programs help adolescents develop more constructive ways to cope.
