The Wick Home for Emotional Growth and Recovery was founded by Jay Wick.  The program, State licensed through the Arizona Department of Health Services, is designed to meet the needs of teens with substance abuse and related issues who need additional time in treatment to develop the skills and behavior patterns necessary for successful recovery.  Our experience has shown that 28 day programs do not afford most addicts the time or the skills to succeed in early recovery.  They may stabilize the immediate crisis; they do not provide the ongoing therapy needed for successful recovery and relapse prevention.  Countless studies show that success in recovery is directly related to length of treatment. This is because it takes time to learn new social coping skills and internalize new behaviors.  Withdrawal and detoxification are only the first step in the recovery process.

The Wick Home for Emotional Growth & Recovery offers 60 day, and 90 day therapeutic programs for troubled teen boys and girls ages 12-17.  We specialize in ongoing and extended treatment for adolescents struggling with co-occurring behavioral health disorders. We accept all residents who fall into the range and scope of our services.

 

Because most addicts present with other behavioral health issues, often referred to as co-occurring disorders or dual diagnosis, the Wick Home is capable of meeting a broad array of behavioral health needs. 

Our goals are relapse prevention and family reunification whenever possible, with independent living for age appropriate clients when family reunification is not possible.  We offer a structured program with integrated academic and therapeutic components.

The Wick Home staff is trained and licensed to work with residents struggling with substance abuse disorders, including alcohol abuse and marijuana abuse, co-occurring disorders, depression, oppositional defiance, bi-polar disorder, ADD/ADHD, and anxiety disorders.
