Family First Adolescent Services involves family each step of the way, with weekly support groups, calls about progress, and family therapy to help the whole family heal.

This method connects boys with their primary therapist 5 times in their first 7 days of treatment for an immersive beginning to recovery. Family First Adolescent Services boasts a 3:1 staff-to-client ratio, with a multidisciplinary team helping teen boys heal comprehensively. They offer treatment for complex post-traumatic stress disorder (C-PTSD), depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD/ADD, gaming and internet addiction, and substance use disorders.

They offer dual enrollment courses through Palm Beach State College, ACT, SAT, and PERT prep, and help boys with their FAFSAs.

Their therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), equine therapy, somatic therapy, and expressive arts. Teen boys can enjoy a wide variety of experiential therapies and outdoor activities at Family First Adolescent Services. Boys can paddleboard, wakeboard, paintball, surf, kayak, and go deep-sea fishing. They can also try CrossFit and yoga, plus weight training in Family First Adolescent Services’ on-site gym. After treatment, Family First Adolescent Services offers a year of aftercare services with weekly check-ins and 2 weekly meetings.
