Residential Treatment

Everyone needs someone to talk to, someone with an open mind who will listen first. Willow Springs Center opened in 1988 to help troubled children and teens find their way in life. At our residential treatment facility, we strongly believe the power for an individual to change lives in the therapeutic relationship. This change can be sustained through additional support and active involvement from the child's family.

The core values of the therapeutic relationship include compassion, nurturing, unconditional acceptance and support in a positive, non-punitive environment. We believe one of the most important factors in treatment is the modeling of positive social skills by adult mentors. In our interactions with children, the goal is to instill a sense of value and worth by accepting them for where they are now and acknowledging their positive achievements and individual strengths. Through the adoption of these core values, the children and young adults we counsel begin to feel empowered to reach their full potential.

Our residential treatment center is a place for new beginnings. It’s a place where you can trust your children will make positive strides to recover from emotional, psychiatric, behavioral, and addictions problems.

Getting Started

Learning your child has been diagnosed with a mental illness, behavioral or emotional disorder or an addiction can be difficult. Choosing the right treatment program can also be a daunting task. After all, every mother and father simply wants their child to have a healthy, happy childhood and grow up to be a productive member of society.

Referrals for admission to Willow Springs come from psychiatric hospitals, parents, physicians, psychologists, school counselors, agencies, therapists, probation officers or other concerned individuals. Admissions and referrals may be arranged by contacting us.

We also understand the cost for individual quality care is a financial concern for many families. Willow Springs Center is a provider for TriCare, Nevada Medicaid and most major health insurance companies. Our friendly staff is available to assist you in determining what is covered by a particular health care plan.
