Sierra Sage Treatment Center

Sierra Sage Treatment Center is a residential mental health and addiction treatment facility for young women aged 14 to 17 in Minden, Nevada. Here, you’ll experience a safe, normalized high school experience as well as vocational training and counseling to help you overcome your challenges and prepare for a healthy future. They accept self payment, BlueCross/BlueShield insurance plans, and Medicaid. They’ll also work with funding from the Adoption Assistance Program.

I like that this facility offers such an enriching approach to therapy. They develop individualized treatment plans based on each client’s needs, taking their strengths and goals into account. Here, they focus on nine evidence based therapies, which are conducted in individual and group settings. Some of these therapies include dialectical behavioral therapy, Thinking for a Change, positive skill development groups, and Seeking Safety. During therapy, you’ll learn more about your condition, identify some of your triggers, and develop healthy coping skills.

While your therapy sessions will take up a portion of your day, student life also plays a major role in your recovery. While you’re in this program, you’ll attend onsite high school classes on their beautiful campus. There are also lots of extracurricular activities to explore, such as sports, intramurals, and student clubs. They definitely encourage your family to be involved in your academic and therapeutic activities as much as possible.
