Ridge RTC
Residential Treatment for Teens
Welcome to The Ridge RTC
Uniquely situated within the natural beauty of New England, both Ridge residential teen treatment centers in New Hampshire and Maine are specialized mental health treatment programs designed for teens, ages 12-18, requiring therapeutic assessment and enhanced support for mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues. The Ridge RTC provides a supportive and caring environment for teens who need more intense care than they can receive at home, at school, or in a traditional outpatient setting. Our programming focuses on stabilizing, evaluating, and preparing teenagers for a happier and more productive life beyond the program.
We are proud to offer one of the most intensive treatment programs in the country. Our teen residential program offers a minimum of 3 individual therapy sessions per week, 3 group therapy sessions per day, and a comprehensive family therapy component. Our holistic program includes psychiatric care, medication management, physical exercise, nutrition and other recreational activities.
At The Ridge RTC, accessibility matters. With a commitment to extending high-quality treatment to as many families as possible, we are in-network with major insurance providers including Aetna, Carelon, Anthem, Beacon, Modern Assistance, Magellan, Multiplan, and Optum. When not in-network, we work extensively with out-of-network benefits as well as Singe Case Agreements.
Contact our admissions team 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to learn more about the program, better understand your insurance coverage, or start the admissions process. We are standing by to help.

An Enhanced Support Program Tailored for Teens
At The Ridge RTC, our focus goes beyond providing behavior modification treatment for “troubled teens”. We consider ourselves caring, supportive allies in the journey toward personal transformation, growth, and healing. Our mission is to engage with the unique therapeutic needs of each adolescent, offering a program that places a strong emphasis on therapy and intensive care for their emotional well-being. We emphasize personalized therapies and activities, crafted to align with each one’s individual needs and strengths.
The Ridge RTC’s therapeutic approach is designed to provide increased support, structure and therapy for teens. While our focus is on mental and emotional health issues, we understand that with those struggles, come negative coping skills. While we are not a traditional behavioral program, we know the importance of addressing behavioral issues during a teens’ stay with us. We address a variety of behavioral issues such as substance use, self-harm, school avoidance, and other negative coping skills.

A Reputable Adolescent & Teen Residential Mental Health Treatment Program
Our unwavering commitment to the well-being of our clients is what truly sets us apart. This commitment has guided us to not only meet but surpass industry accreditation and licensing standards of care.
Ridge RTC programs aim to stabilize, assess, and prepare our clients for a fulfilling life beyond our program. We promote a healthy lifestyle that includes physical activity, exposure to nature, a balanced diet, community contributions, and accountability. Outdoor experiential activities are an essential component of our mental and behavioral health treatment programs, and we offer structured sessions in yoga, music, art, and other experiential modalities. We believe that providing more structure and less “free time” leads to better outcomes, so we focus on outdoor programming that utilizes the Shortridge trail network for hiking, biking, and snowshoeing, as well as the “Base Camp” location featuring other engaging experiential initiatives.
