At The Maples, we focus on helping teenage girls who are struggling with their mental health, including trauma, disordered eating, and/or substance use.
● Our Mission

To deliver the highest quality of care for teenage girls facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, and eating disorders, while also supporting their families to ensure lasting success at home after treatment.

 

● Vision & Values

We envision a community where girls are supported, empowered, and believed in—where healing happens through connection, accountability, and compassion. Our program is built on the belief that when girls are surrounded by safety, structure, and hope, meaningful change is possible. We strive to create an environment where every girl learns to value herself, take responsibility for her choices, act with integrity, and grow within a supportive community that practices kindness, gratitude, and forgiveness.

 

Baton Rouge Residential Treatment

A residential treatment center offers adolescents a structured, supportive environment when outpatient care does not sufficiently meet their needs. At The Maples, care is designed to meet the complex emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs of teenage girls who require long-term treatment in a highly supervised setting.

This approach enables teens to step away from daily stressors and focus entirely on healing, growth, and stability. Our Baton Rouge residential treatment center provides consistent and accountable care, guided by experienced professionals who understand the unique challenges of adolescence. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and learn more about our programs.

We are here for you and your family through every step of the way.

 

A Structured Environment Designed for Growth

Daily life in our therapeutic residence in Baton Rouge is intentionally structured. Adolescents participate in individual therapy, group sessions, academic support, and family involvement within a predictable schedule. This consistency helps reinforce coping skills and emotional regulation in real time. In addition, we offer equine therapy, mindfulness activities, and music and art therapy to encourage connection and creativity during the recovery process.

Structured residential settings can support symptom reduction and improved functioning when the care is individualized and developmentally appropriate.

 

Treatment Types

DBT is a methodical combination of mindfulness and behavior therapy, utilizing physical and cognitive skills to help clients regulate their emotions and relationships. DBT helps clients who struggle with depression and anxiety as well as clients who are sensitive to their environment, highly reactive, overwhelmed with emotion, and slow to return to a calm state.

 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy treatment usually involves efforts to change behavioral patterns. These strategies might include: facing one’s fears instead of avoiding them, using role playing to prepare for potentially problematic interactions with others, and learning to calm one’s mind and relax one’s body.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for and commitment to a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person’s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion.

 

SMART Recovery (Self-Management And Recovery Training) is an abstinence-oriented, not-for-profit organization for individuals with addictive problems. SMART Recovery teaches scientifically validated methods designed to empower clients to change and to develop a more positive lifestyle.

 

Both group types are offered to create a space for the clients to learn with and from one another in a therapeutic setting. Didactic groups are organized around an issue or a problem and are frequently psychoeducational in nature. Process groups allow clients to relate to one another over shared experiences and feelings in a safe, positive environment.

 

Equine Therapy incorporates horses into the therapeutic process. The clients engage in activities such as grooming, feeding, and leading a horse while being supervised by a mental health professional. This intentional interaction with the horses works towards helping clients develop skills such as emotional regulation, self-confidence, and responsibility.

Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Care

At our live-in treatment center in Baton Rouge, all child and adolescent psychiatrists are certified, reflecting advanced training and demonstrated expertise in youth mental health care. Certified psychiatric leadership ensures teenagers receive an accurate diagnosis, appropriate medication oversight when indicated, and treatment that meets evidence-based clinical standards.

Our psychiatrists collaborate closely with the treatment team to monitor progress and adjust plans as adolescents develop new skills and stability. This level of medical oversight is a cornerstone of quality psychiatric live-in treatment centers.

 

What Is a Psychiatric Residential Treatment Facility?

A psychiatric residential treatment facility is a live-in mental health program that delivers 24-hour clinical support, therapeutic services, and medical oversight. This level of care is typically recommended for adolescents whose symptoms significantly affect their school performance, family relationships, or overall functioning.

Residential treatment may be the best option when intensive, coordinated services are needed to ensure meaningful progress. Our treatment program at our residential facility in Baton Rouge focuses on substance abuse, mental health, and trauma, emphasizing stabilization and skill development, helping our teens to successfully integrate back into daily life.
