The DBT Difference: A Powerful Tool for Treating Substance Abuse and Emotional Regulation

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the cornerstone of our program. Uniquely, our entire team—not just our clinicians—is DBT-trained to help teens navigate substance use and mental health challenges.

By mastering mindfulness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance, young men build the skills to:

  • Cultivate healthy coping mechanisms and lasting abstinence.
  • Rebuild positive family, social, and academic connections.

From Our Family to Yours

The Fikes family founded Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center because we went through the experience of having an adolescent family member in crisis. We know how hard it is to face the disappointment, guilt, and helplessness of that scenario and that it’s possible for everyone in the family to recover.

Today, we are proud to offer families clarity, comfort, and relief from the confusion of how best to treat your child. Watch our video to learn more about our story, and give us a call to start your own family’s journey of healing. If Stonewater isn’t right for you, we’ll help you to find a place that is.

Stonewater FAQs

How do I know if my son needs a teen boys residential treatment center versus outpatient care?

Residential treatment is recommended when a teen boy’s behavioral, mental health, or substance use struggles begin to severely disrupt his safety, academic performance, and family life. Outpatient care is excellent for mild symptoms, but our teen boys residential treatment center provides a highly structured, 24/7 therapeutic environment. If localized therapy or school interventions are no longer working, a residential teen rehab offers the immersion needed to break destructive cycles, uncover root causes like trauma or depression, and build lasting coping mechanisms among peers facing similar challenges.

What makes Stonewater different from a typical adolescent treatment center?

Stonewater is a specialized adolescent treatment center designed exclusively for teen boys. By focusing solely on adolescent males, we remove the social distractions of co-ed environments, allowing our clinical team to address unique gender-specific challenges like societal pressure, masked vulnerability, and anger. Furthermore, we are a dual-diagnosis facility, meaning we don't just treat surface-level behaviors; we simultaneously address substance abuse and underlying mental health conditions—such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and ADHD—using evidence-based methodologies like DBT and family systems therapy.

What clinical therapies are used in your teen rehab program to help adolescent boys?

At Stonewater, our teen rehab program utilizes a highly personalized, multidisciplinary approach to clinical care. As a premier adolescent treatment center, we combine evidence-based clinical therapies with experiential healing. Our core modalities include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma, and intensive family therapy. By weaving these advanced psychological treatments together with structured academic support and outdoor experiential activities, we help teen boys build resilience and practical life skills.

How does your program involve the family during a teen's residential treatment?

We believe that sustainable healing is a family affair. While your son is enrolled in our teen boys residential treatment program, families are integrated into the recovery process from day one. Our adolescent treatment center provides weekly family therapy sessions (via phone or secure video), regular communication coaching, and dedicated family weekend visits. We don't just treat the teenager; we give parents and siblings the tools, boundaries, and support network necessary to heal the entire home dynamic before your son returns.

What support is provided after my son graduates from your teen rehab center?

Long-term sobriety and mental wellness require ongoing care after leaving a teen boys residential treatment program. Before graduation from our teen rehab, our clinical team builds a comprehensive, individualized aftercare plan. This typically includes matching your family with specialized local outpatient therapists, psychiatrists, and youth support groups in your home area. We also provide alumni check-ins and ongoing parental coaching resources to ensure your son transitions successfully back into school and daily life with a strong foundation of accountability.
