Residential Treatment for Adolescents in Dallas/Fort Worth Area

The Right Step adolescent recovery program, located in the Dallas/Forth Worth area,  was developed to provide for the specific needs of youths ranging from 13 to 17 years old. Specific length of stay is contingent on their needs and progress made toward completing individualized addiction treatment goals and varies with each client's progress. Discharge and aftercare planning begins at the onset of treatment and is designed to assist in the transition from a self-defeating lifestyle to a productive happy future.

In addition to attending an accredited on-site school, the program focuses on teaching personal accountability, respect, communication skills, and the necessary tools to achieve long-term sobriety. While the program is highly structured, it also offers a variety of sober leisure/recreational activities.
