Behavioral disorders can create significant challenges for adolescents, impacting their ability to form relationships and function in school or at home. At our adolescent residential mental health treatment center, we specialize in treating behavioral disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Our program focuses on helping teens understand their behaviors and develop healthier ways to cope with the underlying issues driving those behaviors.
What Are Behavioral Disorders?
Behavioral disorders involve patterns of disruptive, defiant, or aggressive behavior that interfere with a teen’s ability to function in daily life. Adolescents with behavioral disorders may struggle with authority figures, engage in rule-breaking behavior, or experience difficulty managing their impulses.
Without intervention, these behaviors can escalate and lead to further complications in the teen’s life.
Symptoms of Behavioral Disorders
Frequent temper tantrums or outbursts
Defiance or refusal to follow rules
Aggressive behavior towards peers, family members, or animals
Lying, stealing, or engaging in risky behavior
Difficulty maintaining focus or controlling impulses (often seen in ADHD)
Treatment for Behavioral Disorders
Our treatment for behavioral disorders involves a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and family support. We use evidence-based approaches like behavioral therapy and skills training to help teens develop better emotional regulation, improve their decision-making abilities, and engage in positive behaviors. We also work with families to strengthen communication and create a supportive environment for long-term success.
