Adherent DBT Program for Adolescent Students<\/h2>\n
\n
Sunrise offers an adherent residential treatment program to address a student\u2019s biological, environmental, spiritual and behavioral elements of their challenges in a home-like setting. We know that while your child is going through her healing process, they needs a home that can keep them emotionally and physically safe, and meet their needs through validation and without judgment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Stages of Treatment<\/span><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/h4>\n

Sunrise follows the four stages of DBT treatment to help our students overcome their life-threatening and therapy interfering behaviors and build a life worth living.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"<\/span><\/div>
Orientation & Commitment Phase<\/h5>\n<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

During this initial phase of treatment, the student and family make a commitment to themselves and the treatment team to do DBT therapy. The student creates a hierarchy of needs to list their problem behaviors that get in the way of them building their life worth living.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div>

Stage 1: Getting in Control<\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

In stage one, the student begins to work on reducing behaviors that greatly impact their life and their relationships. They begin to get life threatening and therapy interfering behaviors under control and begin to demonstrate willingness to increase skills, engage in therapy, and follow basic structure within the milieu.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Stage 2: Emotional Experiencing<\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

In stage two, the student continues to demonstrate the ability to control their external behaviors and to build and engage in meaningful relationships at Sunrise and within the family system. They begin to learn how to experience and express their emotions in a safe and healthy way and address any core beliefs and trauma that have led to life-threatening and therapy-interfering behaviors.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Stage 3: Balancing Ordinary Happiness & Sadness<\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

During stage three, the student begins to learn how to internalize new core beliefs and practice acting on these new beliefs. The student begins to integrate more fully back into the family system by going on a home visit and begins to practice their skills in a variety of new contexts by finding things in the community to be involved in. In this stage, other residual problems are addressed such as grief and loneliness, as well as building their life worth living<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"<\/span><\/div>

Stage 4: Capacity for Sustained Joy<\/h4>\n<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>
<\/div>

During stage four, the student learns to build a capacity for sustained joy. The student begins to work on deepening their sense of self and increasing self-awareness and acting within their values and new core beliefs. They continue to practice transitioning back into their home<\/a> environment and practice mastering their skills in a broader context.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Sunrise Treatment Philosophy<\/h2>\n

The best residential treatment centers require not only current, research-based therapies, but an informed vision for each unique teen student. Our clinicians\u2019 first job, then, is to get to know your child from a number of perspectives, including clinical profile, family system, and learning profile. Tying all of this together, of course, requires an understanding of the child as a person -their dreams, fears, strengths, and hurts; what makes them mad and what makes them laugh. Without the benefit of a trusting, authentic relationship, even the most sophisticated treatment modalities are of little use. With the benefit of a trusting relationship, however, clinically sophisticated therapies can be customized to meet the individual\u2019s needs and can change her life!
\nIn addition to creating a therapeutic milieu that promotes growth in the\u00a0course of daily life, we also provide scheduled therapy that includes:<\/p>\n<\/div>

    <\/div>
    <\/div>
    <\/div>

    Our relational approach is married to research-based therapies that, together, form the foundation for healing and success. Our licensed therapists are experienced in applying a number of modalities that they use in combination according to your child\u2019s specific needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>
