Alaska has seen an increase in teen mental health problems and many treatment programs either do not offer the kind of care that is needed or there are not enough centers and staff to accommodate the increase of those who do need help. We have been treating mental and behavioral health issues for teens since 2002 and want to make sure you are guided in the best direction to help your loved one. Turning Winds is a premier residential treatment center for teens located in Montana. Contact us online for more information, or call us at 800-845-1380. If we miss your call, rest assured we will reconnect with you promptly to start planning your transformative experience at Turning Winds.
Your goal is to find the best care before it becomes a life-long battle. We have found that long-term residential care that focuses on building self-esteem, encourages a positive self-image, assists in the recovery of studies, and provides private and group therapeutic sessions, has shown to help these teens recover from any underlying issues that have been holding them back from a successful recovery long-term.
Location is a huge part of the process and many parents might think that keeping their kid close to home is the best option, but we have found otherwise. Turning Winds has witnessed so many miracles since opening our doors in the beautiful mountains of Montana in 2002. We understand for those living in Alaska that MT can seem a long ways from home, but attending an out-of-state adolescent long-term residential treatment program could be the very thing that your child needs to alter their destructive path. A new environment offers fresh perspective, the discovery of new skills and talents, and the chance to separate from any negative people or influences that have been holding them back from being the best version of themselves. Your teen deserves the chance to heal, explore, learn, grow, and experience life in a healthy and positive way. Whether they attend a treatment center like Turning Winds or another teen program that provides in-depth care, we encourage you to take chance and explore other options outside your immediate area.
Have you ever tried to change a habit in just a month and then stick to it? Imagine how difficult that would be for your child who is trying to not only change bad habits, but catch up in their studies, work through unresolved mental and behavioral health issues, and build a solid foundation so that they can experience living life in a whole new way. It would be nearly impossible and really unfair to do this to a kid who is seriously suffering. They may even believe that they have to be “fixed” in just 30 days and if they are not, they have failed themselves and others. That is a huge weight to carry and so this is why we strongly suggest a program that can go anywhere from 3 months to a year. We encourage you to look at this as an investment into your child’s life for today and tomorrow. They deserve a real chance at long-term recovery and the length of stay could be the very thing that makes it or breaks it.
Untreated mental and behavioral health issues have robbed your child and your family of happiness, good health, and joy. We want to help you get that back and in order to do so you will have figure out how you are going to pay for treatment. Turning Winds understands this is can be an obstacle and may prevent many families from getting the best possible care, so we want to help guide you through this process. First you will want to know what kind of insurance you have and what kind of programs they will cover, then you will want to figure out which program you would like to attend and have them look into what your insurance covers.

You are not alone and you don’t have to navigate this alone either. Call us now at 800-845-1380 to see how we can help you.
