Vermont Behavioral Healthcare Center for Girls

Behavioral Health with Christian Influences 24/7

The strength of the Evangelhouse Christian Behavioral Healthcare Center for girls from Vermont program is based on our ability to establish a supportive community environment for your daughter. Each staff member is responsible for leading comparable-aged girls on similar topics that are formed based on the unique emotional needs your daughter presents. These communities aim to be more like a family, with more warmth and acceptance.

The teenage years may be perplexing and demanding. Teenagers may want freedom, but they also want to fit in. While they may be far from their parents, they nonetheless seek guidance as they deal with important issues and moral dilemmas. Some teenagers may make wiser judgments, particularly when it comes to moral choices if they have a feeling of spirituality and a belief in a higher power. This is why Christian influences are so important during the teenage years, and at Evangelhouse Christian Behavioral Healthcare Center for girls, we can provide these positive influences around the clock.

While students are giving back to their communities, they are learning how to become responsible and respectful. They grow to understand that teamwork is established on the basis of trust in that each individual promises to deliver on their responsibilities to the program. 

Your daughter will benefit by living in a structured community at Evangelhouse Christian Behavioral Healthcare Center for girls.

    Individualized Treatment at our Behavioral Healthcare Center for Vermont Girls

    At Evangelhouse Behavioral Healthcare Center for Vermont girls, we will customize the treatment strategy for your daughter based on her individualized needs. Even though there are specific therapies that are often the most successful, there is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all cure for any mental condition. Treatment plans should take the patient’s diagnosis, history, physical condition, and preferences into consideration.

    Making sure that your daughter’s mental health concerns are fully taken care of is an essential component of this first examination and treatment planning. Co-occurring disorders are frequent, and the best therapy takes all of them into account at once. For instance, if a loved one has an alcohol use disorder in addition to depression, they will require therapy for both issues in order to prevent relapses in the future.

    Before deciding to admit your daughter to any Behavioral Healthcare Center for Vermont girls, inquire about the personnel at each facility. The top programs like Evangelhouse Behavioral Healthcare Center have professionals that are knowledgeable in several facets of mental health and therapy. It is insufficient to only have numerous therapists on staff. In order to effectively serve troubled girls, programs need to have expertise in various forms of treatment and mental disease.

    Additionally, the Behavioral Healthcare Center should have a collaborative care philosophy among its employees. At Evangelhouse Behavioral Healthcare Center for Vermont girls, we actively collaborate with parents and other treatment professionals for the benefit of our girls. We confer with one another and decide on their course of action for therapy and treatments depending on each girl’s individualized needs. Not just therapists but also doctors, nurses, milieu staff, and other professionals are involved in collaborative care.

    The therapeutic community members at Evangelhouse Behavioral Healthcare Center actively assist one another. This offers a higher standard of care. Having a supportive community is advantageous for your daughter since social support is crucial for healthy mental health. Supporting people actively has positive effects on mental health. As your loved one supports and assists people around them, it will boost their self-efficacy and self-confidence, increasing their sense of competence and self-worth.

    Which Behavioral Healthcare Center Is Best For Your Daughter?

    It might be difficult to choose the right course of therapy because there are so many different Vermont-based programs, Behavioral Healthcare Centers (RTCs), and care levels available in Vermont and 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 Behavioral Healthcare 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.

    Behavioral Healthcare Centers for Vermont 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.

    Evangelhouse Therapeutic Classroom

    At Evangelhouse Behavioral Healthcare Center for Vermont girls, we believe that academics and community involvement are the cornerstones of student progress. Students can expect comparable-age smaller, traditional classroom settings for instruction that aim to provide good academic support within a close niche community. Additionally, college prep classes further promote student achievement.

    Oftentimes, parents first recognize the influence of their troubled teen’s behavior reflected on their declining report card grades. Behaviors such as skipping classes, disorganization, reprehensible conduct at school, and inappropriate social media usage are just some behaviors that tend to negatively affect academic performance. A variety of emotional issues may be present in a teenage girl that can lead to lower achievement in school, and the staff at Evangelhouse specializes in helping girls overcome these situations. 

    When troubled teen girls from Vermont experience a serious academic setback, it is important to redirect their behavior. At Evangelhouse, our program enables students to re-establish academic goals, and engage in a plan of action that accelerates learning to make up missed credits and graduation requirements. Most importantly, each student will receive individualized instruction that is tailor-made for their academic needs. The notable difference at Evangelhouse when compared to traditional school settings is that students with learning problems such as dyslexia or ADHD/ADD among others will receive individualized instruction that addresses their needs.  In this setting, it is possible to adjust the pace of instruction and instructors build strong working relationships with their students.

    Additional mental health issues that weigh into your Vermont daughter’s academic performance may include and not be limited to the following: energy levels, attentiveness, reliability, mental capacity, and optimism. There exists substantial research to support the fact that depression contributes to declining grade point averages and anxiety. Studies have also connected an increase in depression among the teenage population to an increase in dropout rates among high school students. 

    When your daughter attends Evangelhouse, symptoms of depression are alleviated. As symptoms of depression decrease, your daughter’s academic performance will improve. Our program at Evangelhouse is supported by studies that have shown a direct correlation between emotional issues and academic performance. With highly specialized staff, your daughter will receive the help she needs to resolve emotional issues.  

    Behavioral Healthcare Centers often welcome girls between the ages of 12 and 17. Children begin to make decisions and start living their lives as young adults at the age of twelve. They are transitioning into new situations, approaching puberty, and developing their future identities.

    Teenagers are regarded as adults after the age of seventeen, which is eighteen. Since they are now considered adults in the United States, this implies that you as their parent don’t have as much influence over their life. Unless specifically stated, an adolescent Behavioral Healthcare Center cannot accept students after the age of seventeen.

    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.
