Teen Treatment Methods

As a result of drug and alcohol abuse, many teen may suffer physical and mental consequences related to their developing bodies and minds.

At ECHO MALIBU we are committed to healing the physical and mental health process from the first day of treatment. That is why Echo Malibu offers many different teen treatment methods to heal our teen guests.

Some of the physical health aspects of the teen treatment methods are:

Medical Evaluation - Each teen receives a medical evaluation in order to obtain baseline measures of their physical functioning, and overall level of physical health. All treatment method plans are created with physical health as the number one consideration.

Nutritional Evaluation - Every teen receives a nutritional evaluation so that each teen's, nutritional needs may be met throughout the treatment stay and beyond. Nutritional health was most likely neglected while abusing and we want to make sure your teen's health is better than ever.

Massage Therapy - Learning ways how to identify and soothe tensions and anxiety are extremely important in the early stages of achieving sobriety, especially for teens. Puberty itself causes anxiety as it is. That is why Echo Malibu offers therapeutic massage to improve physical health as one of the teen treatment methods. Massage as physical therapy involves understanding one's own tension and learn how to effectively release this tension without resorting to self-destructive behaviors. This will teach teens how to identify and eventually soothe their own anxiety and tension in positive ways that promote a healthier lifestyle. Of course this is not mandatory. Even though your teen does not have to participate in getting massages but why not try to get the spa experience. All massage therapy is provided by a Certified Massage Therapist.
