The Adolescent-only Mental Health Treatment Center
A Teen Psychiatric Treatment Center Help is here for your teen to start Love Living Life again! Vive exclusively serves adolescents ages 12 to 17, from crisis to recovery, all in one age-appropriate, comfortable facility.
We work with most major insurance companies to optimize access to care for adolescents.
Why Vive? Because the suicide rate in teens is 300 times the national average the week after they are released from a short stay in a hospital mental health unit. Vive is designed just for teens, ensuring a consistent recovery program following a mental health crisis.
Vive Is A Complete Solution
VIVE brings together crisis stabilization, medical care, and behavioral health treatment in one seamless continuum of care, allowing adolescents to receive comprehensive treatment in an age-appropriate, comfortable environment. We only work with youth, unlike most psychiatric wards of hospitals.
Call us to learn where your child can best be served by our multi-layered program, all in one facility. No more program transfers, nor adolescent patients mixed in with adults.
Vive’s integrated continuum of care is designed to meet adolescents wherever they are in their mental health journey, from an immediate psychiatric crisis to ongoing recovery. Whether a teen is admitted directly to Vive or transitions from another psychiatric hospital, our multidisciplinary team provides stabilization, comprehensive clinical assessment, and a personalized treatment plan tailored to their unique needs.
Vive Treats Youth (Only) In Mental Crisis
Vive provides help to teens, age 12-17, struggling with mental health challenges. Rather than treating symptoms alone, Vive’s clinicians work to identify the underlying causes of emotional and behavioral challenges, creating an evidence-based strategy that supports lasting progress. As treatment needs evolve, adolescents can seamlessly transition between appropriate levels of care within the same trusted program, reducing disruptions and promoting continuity. Families are an essential part of the recovery process. Throughout treatment, parents and caregivers receive education, guidance, and therapeutic support to strengthen communication, rebuild relationships, and develop the skills needed to help their teen continue making progress long after leaving Vive.

We Offer 4 Levels Of Intervention And Recovery
The Vive Process allows us to offer different levels of care based on your Physicians recommendation. From intensive inpatient care to intensive family out-patient programming and for those who need something in between.
Hospital In-Patient (Active Risk)
This is the most intensive level of care, offering 24-hour skilled nursing observation, daily interventions, and oversight from a team of mental health/psychiatric providers and professionals in order to provide safety and effective treatment of stabilization. In addition to traditional stabilization methods, Vive incorporates advanced Mind & Mood therapies—including ketamine treatment, TMS, and other holistic interventions—to support recovery from multiple angles. Inpatient hospitalization is short-term, designed to quickly reduce the most serious symptoms and prepare clients for a safe transition to the next level of care.
Intermediate Secure (Continued Risk)
Once clients have reached initial stabilization, they may step down into our highly specialized intermediate secure program. Here, they continue to receive 24-hour skilled nursing observation, daily oversight from psychiatric providers, and intensive treatment coordinated by the same treatment team. This level of care focuses on continued risk management, building resilience, and continued transitional treatment plans that prepare clients for longer-term recovery, while still maintaining a high degree of structure, safety, and support.
Residential Medical Center (Transitional Planning)
Our Residential Medical Center (RMTC) program is unique in the industry and offers the next step in recovery, with a strong focus on family involvement and thoughtful transition planning for each client’s next placement. Clients continue to receive daily engagement and close oversight from their therapists, providers, and treatment team, with the benefit of maintaining continuity of care from the inpatient setting. Access to a wide range of therapies—including our Mind & Mood treatment options—helps clients continue progress in a less restrictive environment. The RMC program balances intensive clinical care with a supportive, family-centered approach, ensuring that both clients and families are equipped for a safe and successful transition.
Outpatient – Day Program (Step Down Care)
Our daytime Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is an on-campus day program designed to provide structured treatment while helping families prepare for a smooth transition back home. Running Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., the program allows clients to engage in daily groups, therapies, and activities without an overnight stay. This model gives families the reassurance of continued intensive support while gradually reintegrating home routines. Clients receive therapeutic structure, peer connection, and ongoing clinical guidance throughout the day—while families benefit from coaching and oversight that helps ensure the transition into the home environment is as safe, stable, and supportive as possible.
Unlike long-term residential treatment centers or therapeutic boarding schools, Vive focuses on rapid psychiatric stabilization through a medical-driven treatment model that emphasizes accurate diagnosis, medication management when appropriate, individual therapy, group therapy, family involvement, and discharge planning. Every treatment plan is personalized to address each adolescent’s emotional, psychological, behavioral, and family needs while preparing them for a successful transition to outpatient services or a lower level of care.
The Joint Commission ★ National Quality Approval
When families choose mental health treatment for a adolescent, trust matters. That’s why VIVE Adolescent Care is proud to have earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval®, a nationally recognized symbol of excellence awarded only to healthcare organizations that meet rigorous standards for quality, patient safety, and clinical performance. Accreditation by The Joint Commission reflects an ongoing commitment to evidence-based care, continuous improvement, and accountability, giving parents added confidence that their child is receiving treatment from an organization dedicated to the highest standards of healthcare.

The organization treats adolescents experiencing mental health and psychiatric challenges that may require more intensive intervention than traditional periodic outpatient therapy.
Treatment needs may include:
- Mental health crisis

- Depression
- Severe anxiety
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress
- Mood disorders
- Bipolar disorder

## Continuum of Care
Vive provides an integrated continuum of adolescent mental health treatment designed to support youth from psychiatric crisis through stabilization, continued treatment, recovery, and transition.
The principal levels of care include:
### Inpatient Psychiatric Hospital Care
The inpatient psychiatric hospital level is designed for adolescents experiencing an acute mental health crisis or active risk requiring intensive psychiatric care and a highly structured environment.
Services can include psychiatric evaluation, crisis stabilization, 24-hour skilled nursing observation, medical and psychiatric oversight, medication management when appropriate, clinical assessment, therapy, and discharge or transition planning.
### Intermediate Secure Care
Intermediate secure care provides continued structure, psychiatric oversight, skilled nursing observation, and intensive treatment for adolescents who have achieved initial stabilization but continue to require a high degree of supervision, risk management, and clinical support.
This level can provide a transition between acute inpatient hospitalization and a less restrictive level of care.
### Residential Treatment
Vive provides short-term residential mental health treatment as part of its continuum of care.
Residential treatment provides adolescents with continued clinical support in a structured environment while emphasizing therapy, family involvement, continued recovery, and transition planning.
Vive's residential treatment model is distinct from a traditional therapeutic boarding school or long-term residential placement. It is part of a medically and clinically focused mental health treatment continuum.
### Partial Hospitalization / Outpatient Day Program
Vive provides a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) as an outpatient day treatment and step-down level of care.
The program provides structured daytime therapy and clinical support without an overnight stay. It is intended to help adolescents continue treatment while progressing toward greater independence and reintegration into home and community life.
## Clinical Approach
Treatment at Vive is individualized according to the adolescent's psychiatric, psychological, emotional, behavioral, medical, and family needs.
Clinical and support services may include:
- Psychiatric care
- Crisis stabilization
- Comprehensive clinical assessment
- Psychological testing
- Individualized treatment planning
- Individual therapy
- Family therapy and family involvement
- Group therapy
- Recreational and experiential activities
- Medication management when clinically appropriate
- 24-hour nursing care at appropriate levels of care
- Risk assessment and management
- Discharge planning
- Transition and step-down planning
Vive uses a multidisciplinary approach intended to address both immediate psychiatric needs and the factors contributing to an adolescent's mental health challenges.
## Family Involvement
Parents and caregivers are an important part of treatment at Vive.
Family participation can include education, therapeutic support, communication work, guidance, transition planning, and development of strategies that help parents support continued progress after treatment.
The objective is not limited to stabilizing the adolescent. Treatment also seeks to prepare the adolescent and family for a safer and more sustainable transition following intensive care.
## Crisis Stabilization
Vive provides psychiatric crisis stabilization for adolescents requiring intensive intervention.
The purpose of crisis stabilization is to address immediate safety and psychiatric concerns, conduct appropriate assessment, stabilize serious symptoms, and determine the most appropriate next level of care.
An adolescent may enter Vive directly or transition to Vive from another psychiatric hospital or healthcare provider when clinically appropriate.
## Residential Treatment Philosophy
Vive's residential program is intended to provide continued therapeutic and psychiatric support after acute stabilization or when an adolescent requires structured residential mental health care.
The program emphasizes:
- Continuity of treatment
- Individualized clinical care
- Family involvement
- Psychiatric oversight
- Therapeutic support
- Development of coping and emotional regulation skills
- Transition planning
- Preparation for an appropriate lower level of care
Vive should not be characterized as a traditional boarding school, wilderness program, or long-term therapeutic boarding school.
## Accreditation and Quality
Vive Adolescent Care has earned The Joint Commission's Gold Seal of Approval.
The Joint Commission is an independent healthcare accreditation organization. Accreditation reflects evaluation against applicable healthcare quality and patient-safety standards.
Accreditation is separate from Vive's National Provider Identifier and healthcare taxonomy classifications.
