Center for Youth and Families Torrington

**This Torrington center is a nonprofit, privately run facility offering emergency psychiatric services and outpatient care that accounts for trauma in children and teens who have more than one condition at once.** Substance use and mental health concerns are addressed side by side, so a young person is not forced to sort out which difficulty comes first. Support for families is matched to what the child has been diagnosed with and what they need. Young people here work on usable coping approaches and genuine connections, within a setting that encourages stability and progress.

Every child's diagnosis and situation guides the work of staff at this Torrington center for youth and families. Care is individualized, not a single formula for everyone, and the center stresses skills that young people can apply day to day. Families take part in the approach. When a child is dealing with a mental health condition and substance use at the same time, a program treating both together tends to fit better than one that handles just one side.

Outpatient treatment options

Outpatient care is the only level this center offers, with therapy options that cover dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy. Individual counseling, family therapy, group therapy, and online therapy are offered as well. Therapy sessions are held in both English and Spanish. For Torrington children and adolescents, this center combines trauma-informed support with substance use treatment. Services are designed for young people dealing with co-occurring disorders and substance use conditions, often with trauma in their history.

If your child needs 24-hour monitoring, then this outpatient center for youth and families in Torrington is not the right level of care. The typical program length is seven days, though individual plans may vary. When a young person steps down from a more intensive setting, then outpatient therapy in Torrington can support the transition. Ask the center how the schedule fits your family's routine and what happens after the initial program ends.
