Wings Adolescent Treatment Services

Wings Adolescent Treatment Services provides residential treatment specifically designed for teens ages 13-18 and young adults up to 25 who need intensive substance abuse treatment. The residential program in Litchfield combines addiction treatment with full on-site school programming, ensuring young people don't fall behind academically while focusing on recovery.

The recovery center treats addiction, mental health disorders, and co-occurring conditions through a combination of individual counseling, group therapy, and structured programming. Residents receive 24-hour support in a therapeutic environment designed to address the unique developmental needs of adolescents and young adults in early recovery.

For teens and families seeking less intensive intervention, Wings offers outpatient programming that allows young people to live at home while receiving regular addiction treatment services. The outpatient program serves as either a primary treatment option or as a step-down from residential care.

Aftercare planning ensures smooth transitions between levels of care and ongoing support in the recovery community. This planning process helps teens and their families identify local resources, continuing therapy options, and peer support networks to maintain progress after completing the primary treatment program.

Treatment at Wings incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and 12-step based programming alongside alternative clinical approaches to chemical dependency treatment. This combination addresses both substance abuse and underlying mental health conditions common among teens in recovery.

The facility features therapeutic recreation programming, medication management, and unique additions like physical fitness and nutrition coaching. On-site cooks provide proper nutrition support, recognizing that physical health plays a crucial role in successful addiction recovery for developing adolescents and young adults.

Wings accepts multiple insurance carriers including Blue Cross Blue Shield, HealthPartners, Medicaid, and TRICARE, making addiction treatment accessible to military families and those with state insurance coverage. The facility also works with regional providers like UCare, PrimeWest, and South Country Health Alliance.

Payment options include private insurance, self-pay arrangements, and state insurance programs. This flexibility helps families access appropriate addiction treatment regardless of their insurance situation, supporting the center's mission to serve diverse adolescent populations in need of recovery services.
