About Foothills at Red Oak Recovery

Foothills at Red Oak Recovery provides substance use and mental health treatment for adolescent boys. They’re pretty secluded in their location out in Ellenboro, North Carolina. Their comprehensive program addresses the cognitive, emotional, and physical aspects teenage boys 14 to 17 need for long-term sobriety. They have a special track for LGBTQ+ youth.

The team works with guests on co-occurring issues that frequently accompany substance use, like depression, anxiety, trauma, and gaming addiction. The program also addresses the problems faced by today’s teens, like school performance and peer pressure.

Foothills offers a nurturing, tranquil setting on a 94-acre horse farm, away from distractions. Residents have a safe, comfortable setting to focus on healing and recovery. Their clinical team will treat the whole person to provide behavior changes, symptom relief, and healthy self-esteem.

Alongside traditional therapeutic methods, they also provide holistic and experiential techniques, like equine therapy and recreation therapy. Guests have adventure activities like ropes courses, play sports, attend yoga, and mindfulness sessions. These methods help them stay engaged in recovery, learn teamwork, and provide exercise. They also have fun during the process, which can reduce stress and promote relaxation.

The team understands that trauma often plays a role in addiction. They have trauma-informed therapies to address past events and help them move past them so they can heal.

Since many teens have issues with self-acceptance, they may experience unhealthy or disordered eating. The treatment at Foothills promotes the connection between exercise and food choices for a positive body image.

Process addiction is addressed to help minimize time spent repeating activities like gaming, cell phone use, and other electronic interactions.

The goal of the Foothills treatment program is to help boys regain hope and achieve long-term sobriety with a focus on overall wellness.
