Hawaii Residential Treatment Center for Girls

Which Residential Treatment Center (RTC) Is The Best Fit For Your Daughter?

It might be difficult to choose the right course of therapy because there are so many different programs, residential treatment centers (RTCs) for Hawaii girls, and care levels available nationwide. Although there are many varied reasons why people seek residential therapy, there are several challenges that virtually always necessitate this degree of care, such as:

  • Serious Mental Health Conditions
  • Trauma and Loss
  • Anxiety
  • Behavioral Concerns

Other criteria, in addition to specific diseases or diagnoses, may make residential therapy a good fit, such as:

  • Attempted lesser levels of therapy (outpatient, IOP, etc.) with little to no symptom alleviation.
  • Lack of sufficient community or domestic support
  • Safety concerns: impulses to damage oneself or a significant behavioral history
  • Diagnostic ambiguity: a residential treatment center for girls may be recommended if healthcare professionals find it difficult to identify your daughter’s diagnosis. Mental health specialists and medical experts can get a more comprehensive understanding of the patient’s symptoms, habits, feelings, etc. in a residential treatment facility.

Residential treatment centers for Hawaii girls, sometimes known as rehabs, offer therapy for a variety of conditions, such as mental illnesses, behavioral difficulties, and problems with substance misuse and addiction. Residential treatment facilities are live-in, clinically focused settings where patients are constantly observed and guided by qualified professionals.

Can a Residential Treatment Center for Girls Help My Daughter?

When searching for a residential treatment center (RTC) for Hawaii teen girls, many parents feel lost in the process. This is because many of the issues teen girls have been hard to pinpoint the root cause. If you don’t know what to look for, trauma and PTSD aren’t usually easy to identify. Your teen daughter may require assistance getting over a traumatic event or experience if they display any or all of the signs listed below:

  • Trauma and PTSD can result in horrific flashbacks and dreams that leave your teen terrified and clearly unsettled.
  • Teens who are dealing with PTSD frequently experience dramatic mood swings and display aggressive behavior.
  • Fear and anxiety: Does your teen experience uneasiness while visiting particular locations or dealing with particular individuals? These might be PTSD triggers for your adolescent.
  • Despair: Whatever trauma your daughter encounters may be to blame if they have recurrent episodes of grief or depression.

Therapy in the context of mental health refers to a conversational interaction between a healthcare professional and the patient or patients. Psychotherapy or talk therapy are additional names for it.

The advantages of treatment might be psychological, emotional, physical, behavioral, or life and relationship-related. Less discomfort, better sleep, better communication, less stress, and greater enjoyment are some typical advantages of treatment.

At Evangelhouse residential treatment center for Hawaii girls, our girls pass through stages of treatment. Within each Lifeleaf stage, students have professional feedback to guide their progress and behavior. Each week, staff members present a written report to students, peers, and parents. Students are given weekly privilege zones based on this report, which allows for insightful reflection on their choices and self-corrective measures to be taken week to week.

    •   In a recent state-wide survey, about 67.5 percent of Hawaii youth with major depression don’t get any mental health treatment.
    •   That puts Hawaii 47th worst in the nation for the measure.

    The Evangelhouse RTC for Girls Community

    The unique setting at Evangelhouse RTC for Hawaii girls provides a safe community that we believe allows our students to grow and study. In our community, we eliminate many of the outside world’s stressors that can hinder our residents from performing well academically and feeling well emotionally. Many of the stressors in our outside world may create overwhelming situations for our teens that are difficult to cope with. In the interest of fostering beneficial change in our teenage girls, we help them to develop coping strategies. 

    Between grades 6-12, a lot happens, so it’s crucial to maintain your relationship with your daughter from Hawaii. They will turn to you for direction, leadership, clarifications, and responses to queries that may be awkward for you to address. Your teen’s journey to maturity will be determined by how you respond to these circumstances.

    Unfortunately, it’s possible that your teen didn’t manage these crucial years as well as they might have. In the modern world, when children have access to the internet from an early age, there is a lot of pressure to blend in, act like others, or appear a certain way. Your youngster may go down dark roads as a result of these kinds of contemporary social pressures. At Evangelhouse RTC, we provide a healthy peer culture to ensure your daughter has a positive social group that influences her. We call this a part of “milieu therapy.”

    Milieu Therapy at Evangelhouse

    The main goal of Milieu treatment programming is to eliminate the stressors that can trigger negative emotions from our teenage residents. In turn, when we achieve de-risking of our residents, we produce a therapeutic setting.  Under the protection of a controlled therapeutic setting, our residents are able to develop new coping mechanisms. These new coping mechanisms become their personal set of tools to better cope with and understand the world. As our residents become more familiar with the routine at Evangelhouse, their ability to feel safe increases. Likewise, in a mutually safe environment, the peer group is able to build trust and make great progress in promoting emotional growth within each individual.

    There are many advantages to participating in Milieu therapy in a residential treatment center for girls. One advantage is that our teenagers learn to accept responsibility for their own actions. Another advantage is that they learn how to open up and disclose their difficulties. Our peer group receives regular feedback during therapy and this allows our residents to observe how their actions affect the community. This therapy setting offers them time to process and reflect on the consequences of the actions or decisions they have made in the past and how they can improve moving forward. 

    At Evangelhouse, our residents will participate in milieu therapy and gain coping skills that will help them in the real world.

    Residential Treatment Center for Hawaii Girls with Depression 

    Evangelhouse is a residential treatment center for Hawaii teen girls with depression and related issues including trauma, anxiety, and behavioral issues. Depression is generally a more common, and potentially more impactful illness than most girls realize. Research tells us that an estimated 3.2 million teenagers in the United States experienced at least one major depressive episode. It’s no surprise that quality treatment options like Evangelhouse Residential Treatment Center are in demand. Current statistics tell us that approximately 13% of teenagers will experience clinical depression before they reach adulthood.

    At Evangelhouse RTC for Hawaii girls, our students are included in a close-knit peer group. We limit our total census to just 16 girls at a time. Also, with the absence of smartphones, our girls learn how to express themselves and their frustrations face-to-face, not through a screen. Overuse of electronic devices may be preventing young people from hobbies, religion, sports, friendships, and socializing, which might help them avoid depression in the first place. 

    Individualized programming that is focused on age, gender, and the needs of each student is the focus of Evangelhouse RTC. In addition to teaching our girls therapeutic skills for coping with depression in daily life, Evangelhouse RTC incorporates medication management under the supervision of a licensed psychiatrist. 

    To provide our girls with the finest care possible, depression treatment facilities like Evanglhouse RTC for Hawaii girls employ a variety of therapeutic approaches. These therapies range from individual counseling to DBT to equine therapy. The team at Evangelhouse is composed of specialists with extensive training and knowledge of teenage depression. Comorbid disorders often include trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and more.

    Our mission is to enable our girls to learn the skills to overcome issues like depression, anger, relationship problems, ADHD, and more. Part of the program focuses on the transition home as students learn to manage their symptoms in the next environment.

    Depression rates among adolescents, particularly among females, have risen over the past decade, with around 8% of teens reporting being depressed. If your daughter has depression, now is the time to get help. As behaviors become more ingrained the more they are practiced, it’s important to break the cycle with your child as soon as possible.

    This school literally has given my daughter her life back and has given us the tools to help her and herself into the future. This is a full circle, all encompassing program. From admission to graduation. Do not delete this school from your list! I almost did because it was far away...and...to be honest, I wasn't sure how I felt about a "Christian" school. Whether you are religious or not, don't be put off or think your child is going to be brainwashed. She's not! It is a part of the day and I thought my daughter would hate it (and so did she). But it turns out she found great comfort there and her faith! I thoroughly investigated this school. In addition to my own research, I also hired a company that researches and screens these types of programs. I also had my daughter's psychiatrist interview the director! I've done all the researching and investigating for you. Whatever your daughter's issues may be, I probably have them covered! My daughter's diagnosis' range from ADHD, Anxiety, High Risk Behavior, Adoption issues/trauma and psychosis. Do not waste your time. Don't wait for Spring or end of school or whatever timeline. Act now! The happiest day of my life was delivering her to the ECA. I actually slept for the first time in years. Knowing my daughter was finally getting the help she so deserved. Therapy, school, socialization, faith, responsibility, accountability, self-worth and confidence. We all ask or pray for help. Consider ECA as prayers answered.

    I graduated from ECA 4 years ago, and I can genuinely say that this place is truly amazing. It can and will help your daughter if she wants to put in the work. The staff and the girls I was with all made me feel like family and that I mattered. This place really saved my life, so if you are looking for a place that will help your daughter please send her here, I promise they will take care of her.

    We had a troubled teen. I found ECA online. I made a call and set up a visit. We were looking for a place that included God and biblical principles in their program. Now that our child has finished the program, WOW! Thank you ECA leadership. Every one on staff believes in the program. It shows! and it works!!

    This school has been an absolute Godsend for my daughter and our family. We realized a few months ago that she needed residential treatment. After an exhaustive search, we found the wonderful people at Evangelhouse. They do an amazing job keeping parents updated and are always available when we call. I have been impressed with the way that they are firm with the girls but also loving and caring. The process there is amazing, especially since it involves the family also. We were so happy to find a place that provides professional counseling with a Christian focus.

    Two years ago we were struggling to get our daughter on the right track. We had tried everything and knew that she would need to be placed in a residential treatment facility. We had searched for at least a year to find the right place. Were looking for a Christian, all girls, small, therapeutic program not too far from Texas. Somehow, someway, God lead us to the Evangelhouse website. We are so glad that we took his direction because it has meant a world of difference for our daughter, our family, our marriage, and our peace of mind! Evangelhouse has taken a once broken, low-self esteem, miserable, self-centered, hostile, angry, self-doubting teenager in crisis and changed her into a Christ-centered, selfless, self-loving, servant-hearted, mature, sensible, responsible, thoughtful young adult. ECA implements a program that strips each student down to the bare necessities in order for them to focus on what is truly important in life. I don't know where we would be without ECA. I now know what it is like to have a functional, happy, and peaceful family life.
