Align helps teenage boys in grades 9-12 who are navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, executive functioning challenges, substance use addiction, difficulty with traditional school settings, and family conflict or behavioral issues. This dual-diagnosis residential program doubles as an accredited recovery high-school—so clinical healing and academic progress happen together. Their campus is a setting where bright, stuck teens rebuild confidence, catch up in school, and start to breathe again. At Align Adolescent Recovery, treatment is a steady, relational path that meets each student where he is and helps him grow in every direction. Recovery is the foundation, and from there they build holistically with evidence-based therapy, 12-Step support, and experiential learning. They provide education with an on-site high school, turning feelings of stress around academics into self-confidence. They treat every student as capable—because he is—and they unlock that potential with clear expectations and patience. Families are involved too, repairing trust so change can happen at home. On a 100-acre ranch just outside Tucson, Align’s campus is set beneath wide skies, with horse trails winding through it. Daily life at treatment blends wellness and real-world challenges: cold plunge and sauna sessions paired with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) meditation to calm the nervous system; then sports, a fully-equipped fitness center, and time on the skate park, batting cages, soccer, and volleyball courts. Adventure abounds here—with paintball on-campus, rock climbing, and hiking—so teens practice resilience while they heal. The facility also offers a fully equipped music room, recording studio and art room - allowing creativity to flourish. The shared living space feels homey and has an intimate, family feel. Aftercare at Align is about making life post-treatment feel doable and hopeful. Long before graduation, the family unit starts building a step-down plan that fits real life. When it’s time to launch, Align helps students choose the right next step—whether it’s heading home with a clear structure, continuing in their transitional living partner Pivot, or layering in outpatient care. The team coordinates the handoffs, so everyone leaves with a concrete roadmap and people who already know the student.
