About Mingus Mountain Academy – Prescott Valley
Mingus Mountain Youth Treatment Center in Prescott Valley, Arizona is a residential rehab for teen girls. Specifically, it’s for girls ages 12-17 who are struggling with drug addiction, alcohol addiction, and other behavioral health issues.
The program uses something called the Sanctuary Model. It’s a model of treatment that is based on trauma responsive care, designed to help girls feel safe as they heal. Clients benefit from many different types of treatment like group therapy, outdoor recreation therapy, and even the center’s unique equine therapy program which has horses and miniature donkeys on site.
Don’t worry about your daughter falling behind on school work while she gets treatment. They have a fully functional education program that follows a strong high school curriculum. They even offer some college courses too so clients can earn college credit early, and they have a student government organization called the Mountain Lions Club.
The team here isn’t just focused on addiction recovery though. They want to set your daughter up for a bright future. That’s why they teach some job skills and life skills during the program, and clients can even earn their safe serve certification while working at the center’s cafeteria. They also have two therapeutic group homes to help with the transition out of treatment and a scholarship program to help clients pay for college.
The cherry on top of it all is that they are accredited by the Joint Commission – a high honor among rehabs. Between this and the well rounded program, clients and their families have loved this youth rehab.
