“Coming into the program I was an absolute mess. I was depressed, anxious, and beat down physically/emotionally/spiritually. I had incredible difficulty even getting out of bed in the morning. With the amazing help of staff here at Prairie, I was able to slowly put the pieces back together and the days began to look/feel much better. I slowly began to look forward to and enjoy life again. With the tremendous help of the wonderful staff, I was able to get sober and remain sober from mood altering chemicals/substances for the duration of the program and beyond! Each day began to get better and better and ultimately reached a point where I wasn’t just “getting by”, I was actually thriving! I learned that some days are going to be better than others but that each day is a gift to be enjoyed. The staff here really helped me to realize my potential and taught me skills needed to achieve it! This program was phenomenal in all areas of my life and I would highly recommend it for anyone struggling with chemical dependency/mental health issues!”

A professional mental health evaluation can explain symptoms or causes that are not apparent on the surface. Behavioral problems may be symptoms of underlying psychological, biological or emotional issues that inhibit a child’s social, academic and emotional development.
Mental illness can be the result of compounding problems and prolonged pressures. Teens may turn to drugs or alcohol to help forget about their responsibilities, or as a way to assert their independence. The easy availability of alcohol or powerfully addictive drugs like methamphetamines make this experimentation common and dangerous.
At Prairie St. John’s, we have experience identifying and treating mental illness and addictions in adolescents. We have helped thousands of teens battle against co-occurring conditions and help parents guide their child and family.
