OUR SPECIALTY

 

Unlike other teen and young adult programs that treat a broad range of substance and behavior issues in traditional settings, STAR Guides Treatment Centers provides a specialized “unplugged” environment to reset and re-balance the physical, mental, and spiritual health of youth.  Because of the very personal nature of their issues, under the guidance of highly trained therapists and professionals, we provide a setting where youth can feel safe and supported when working through sensitive pornography or sexual issues along with trauma, free of fear, embarrassment, or shame.
