Some teens need a different kind of care first, like detox, hospital care or a specialized eating disorder program. Lotus is built only for teens 12 to 17, so if your child is 18 or older, we can point you to young adult programs. Either way, call us: our admissions team will help you find the right option.

The family program

Lotus provided wrap around treatment and acceptance for my teen when I was not able to help him at home. We are so grateful for the progress he made while he was there. He can be a handful, and they approached his individual needs with care and compassion in a safe environment. By the time my teen was discharged, he truly cared for each and every one of the staff and leaving was bittersweet.

I cannot find the words to express how wonderful Lotus Behavioral Health was for my child. We had tried other programs without success. Then, we were referred to Lotus and from the moment we arrived, I was moved by the amount of compassion and caring that the staff had for us as a family. It took some time and work to get to a point of recovery, it was worth it. If you ever find yourself needing these kinds of services, don't waste any more time. The staff at Lotus is amazing and will work with you to help your child. I cannot thank them enough for getting us through a really rough time.

I'm so incredibly grateful for Lotus Behavioral Health. The staff was truly amazing—caring, supportive, and professional every step of the way. The group therapy sessions were not only helpful, but also enjoyable for her , creating a space where she felt safe, heard, and understood. The other kids were kind and encouraging, and the therapists were outstanding—compassionate, skilled, and truly invested in each teen's growth. I'm beyond happy with the progress and commitment my teen has shown since starting there. She has grown into a stronger, more self-aware, and confident individual. Thank you, Lotus, for helping my teen become the best version of herself:)

What a wonderful experience! Thank you to the caring people of Lotus for loving our family through a tough time. Every single staffer interacted with our teen in a fashion that helped him think about things differently. Every. Single. Person. Our teen loved the experience there. We could not recommend this facility highly enough. Thank you, Lotus.

Lotus Behavioral Health is an excellent treatment center if you have a teen struggling with addiction. Instead of seeing this as a setback or obstacle, LBH turns this issue into an opportunity to educate our teens on the dangers of addiction and how to become better, responsible people. My son returned a changed and improved young man. He was open to the program, which is important if you want this to succeed.

This was the last rehab facility I ever attended after going in and out of treatment centers since I was around 15 years old. Out of all the facilities I've experienced, Lotus was by far the best when it came to providing genuine care, effective treatment, and a true understanding of what individuals are going through. The staff treated me with respect, compassion, and professionalism, and they created an environment where real healing and growth could take place. The support I received helped me gain the tools and perspective I needed to move forward in my life. I would highly recommend Lotus to any parent whose child is struggling with addiction or other serious challenges. If you're looking for a facility that truly cares about its clients and is committed to helping them succeed, Lotus is a place worth considering.
