About Align Adolescent Recovery
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.
Unlock Full Potential
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.
Find Adventure on the Ranch
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.
Launch a Smooth Transition Plan
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.

In an IOP, patients live at home or a sober living, but attend treatment typically 9-15 hours a week. Most programs include talk therapy, support groups, and other methods.
Outpatient

Approaches
Evidence-Based
A combination of scientifically rooted therapies and treatments make up evidence-based care, defined by their measured and proven results.
Family Involvement
Providers involve family in the treatment of their loved one through family therapy, visits, or both–because addiction is a family disease.
Holistic
A non-medicinal, wellness-focused approach that aims to align the mind, body, and spirit for deep and lasting healing.
Twelve Step
Incorporating spirituality, community, and responsibility, 12-Step philosophies prioritize the guidance of a Higher Power and a continuation of 12-Step practices.
Therapies
1-on-1 Counseling
Patient and therapist meet 1-on-1 to work through difficult emotions and behavioral challenges in a personal, private setting.

Adventure Therapy
This experiential approach uses the physical and emotional challenges of outdoor activities as tools for personal growth.
Art Therapy
Visual art invites patients to examine the emotions within their work, focusing on the process of creativity and its gentle therapeutic power.
Equine Therapy
Guided interactions with trained horses, their handler, and a therapist can help patients improve their self-esteem, trust, empathy, and social skills.
Experiential Therapy
With this approach, patients heal by doing. Therapists help patients process difficult emotions to speak, using guided activities like art or dance.
