What is residential treatment? Understanding the most effective option for helping teens turn things around is key. It’s help for troubled teens temporarily living away from home and receiving help in another community in a structured, comprehensive treatment setting. This interrupts the pattern of negatively entrenched behaviours and gives an opportunity for a fresh start.
Importantly, it separates your child from any of the influences that are negatively impacting thinking and behaviour, such as undesirable peer groups, drugs, alcohol, or social media. This provides an optimal opportunity for therapeutic work to occur with reduced distraction and gives your child a fighting chance. Venture Academy has helped over one thousand teens in our treatment programs since 2001.
At Venture Academy, our team provides residential treatment for teens who need additional support than what is found in a typical classroom setting. We are proud to be a leading provider of residential treatment programs for teens in Canada, and our Venture Academy team is dedicated to treating teens in our care with the respect and dignity they deserve. If you’re interested in learning more about residential treatment for yourself or a teen in your life, reach out to our Venture Recovery team online or at 866.762.2211. So, what is residential treatment for teens at Venture Recovery? It’s an opportunity for teens to get back on the right track.
What You Really Need at Venture Academy
Residential treatment is needed when teens are unable or unwilling to make changes with the services and professionals available to them at home and in their own communities. Help for troubled teens in a residential treatment setting at Venture Academy is an effective intervention that addresses the problem(s), gets youth back on track, ready and able to return home with new skills and motivation for continued change.
Residential treatment at Venture Academy is a transformative experience. We provide teens with the opportunity to thrive in a positive and supportive environment. Therefore, they can focus on themselves and their own healing or challenges. Unlike boot camps, military schools, and other similar approaches, our staff form deep and meaningful relationships with teens in our program (and you as parents), which becomes part of the agent for change as students begin to trust others and open up to deal with the realities of their struggles in life.
Unlike an institutional or hospital stay, at Venture Academy, we include a real-life home component and school-like settings designed to replicate a realistic learning environment. Overall, kids have to return home to real life and school. Our environment significantly helps with and speeds up the change process and improves the effectiveness of the program. Our programs provide an effective alternative to boot camps for troubled teens and boarding schools for troubled teens in Canada.

Reach Out to Venture Academy Today for Residential Treatment for Teens
“It’s incredible. For years we struggled with our son. We tried every program and resource we could think of. Nothing worked. Then we found Venture Academy. We placed our son with Venture Academy directly from our local hospital where he had been admitted to the psychiatric ward for drug-induced suicidal thoughts and out-of-control behaviour. The staff at Venture Academy were not only able to stabilize and manage our son but were able to help him get back on track with school, positive friendships, and staying off drugs. We are forever grateful to Venture Academy.”
