We Help Youth and Young Adults Succeed
Telos is a family of residential treatment settings for youth and young adults. We offer hope to students and parents that may not find it anywhere else. Our students overcome depression, anxiety, social problems, substance use, executive function needs and learning differences, get back to a productive life.
Based on their unique needs, your child will be matched with one of our specialized treatment settings where leading professionals will help them thrive.
Our Specialty Programs are
As Unique As Your Child
We understand that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work when it comes to helping students overcome their challenges. That’s why we group our students based on the issues they are working to overcome, so they can draw strength and inspiration from each other as they grow together.
Our continuum of specialty programs allows us to separate students by age and issue, ensuring that your child is placed in a custom setting that addresses their unique challenges.
Whether your child is dealing with depression, anxiety, ASD, learning differences, processing issues, substance use, or any other challenge, we have a program tailored to their specific needs.
