Texarkana Parents: You Don’t Have to Face Your Preteen’s or Teen’s Struggles Alone

Remember when your child was an infant and a toddler? You were exhausted, baffled by meltdowns, and sometimes overstimulated yourself, and someone inevitably would say: Wait until they get older. Bigger kids, bigger problems.

Well, now that your child has hit adolescence (ages 10-17), figuring out how to support them in their struggles isn't as easy as asking another parent or doing a quick Internet search. You don't have to sit on the sidelines as they become more distant or spiral through changes you can't begin to understand, though.

Riverview Behavioral Health Hospital in Texarkana has a specialized inpatient program for adolescents. They provide a safe, structured environment where young people can stabilize, heal, and begin moving forward. They can address chemical dependency, depression, anxiety, anger, self-harm, mood disorders, self-esteem issues, and thoughts of suicide.

Each patient receives a personalized treatment plan during the admissions process based on their symptoms and background, and family members are typically involved through family therapies, family education, discharge planning, and more.

Riverview's compassionate professionals and evidence-based care go beyond treatment. They work to rebuild confidence, strengthen family connections, and help teens rediscover their potential. They believe every teen deserves a chance to thrive.

It all starts with a phone call or walk-in. No appointment needed. They are available 24/7 for support and admissions, and they accept most major insurance plans. Learn more or start the conversation at riverviewbehavioralhealth.com or by calling 855-419-6979.
