Our Philosophy

While every InnerChange program has a unique specialty, all are unified by a common set of treatment values and standards that have allowed us to have the most impressive outcomes in adolescent treatment. We are committed to providing values based, family oriented programs that utilize the most clinically sophisticated approaches available – approaches proven to be effective for the long-term healing of adolescent and young adult issues.

Values based

Our company is based on values such as community, responsibility, compassion, contribution, and honesty—the kinds of basic humanistic values required for any organization, family, or program to function in a healthy manner. These values create a strong foundation that guides our company and informs the work with do with families. Our values curriculum allows young people to explore, articulate, and internalize the kind of personal values that will help them thrive as contributive members of society.

Family oriented

Our programs wrap support around the whole family to ensure that changes made in treatment endure. When a young person goes through a treatment process that does not involve the family system, changes made in treatment seldom survive the transition home because the family is not prepared to support them. InnerChange programs provide the most robust family services in the treatment industry, including visits, family-systems therapy, retreats, and extensive whole-family coaching for the young person’s transition back home or to independence.

Clinically sophisticated

We believe that the field of family and adolescent and young adult treatment is constantly evolving, so we hire licensed and experienced clinicians to employ leading-edge, research-supported treatment approaches. Our companywide clinical leadership team engages in an ongoing collaborative process that includes clinical research, evaluation, and refinement so that we can provide you with the best care available anywhere.
