Residential Treatment for Teen Boys

Foothills focuses on gender-specific residential treatment for adolescent boys struggling with alcohol, opioids, stimulants, marijuana and other substances.

The program is staffed by dually licensed clinicians trained in both addictions and mental health, allowing for integrated care of complex teen presentations.

Treatment blends cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, counseling, family therapy and relapse prevention.

An on-site academic program helps boys stay on track educationally while they address the underlying drivers of substance use and build healthier coping skills.

Experiential and Adventure-Based Therapy

The 94-acre horse farm campus is central to the Foothills experience, with equine therapy, adventure therapy, hiking, rock climbing and kayaking woven into the clinical program.

Art, music, exercise and nutrition counseling round out a holistic approach that helps teens engage in recovery in active, meaningful ways.

Foothills at Red Oak Recovery operates its residential campus within the scenic Blue Ridge region.
