Sweetwater Adolescent Girls Program

Program Overview

Cottonwood de Tucson is pleased to announce the opening of our newly restructured Sweetwater Adolescent Girls Treatment Program. The new 90-day Sweetwater Program for girls ages 13 - 17 has been designed to help girls and their families to recover and make those changes necessary to improve the quality of their lives.  The Sweetwater Program places a strong emphasis on scholastics, offering both structured classroom hours as well as a therapeutic curriculum designed to further the intellectual, emotional, and spiritual growth of each girl.  Our Sweetwater program is a recipient of the Woodbury Reports, Inc. “Excellence in Education Award” having been selected on the basis of our excellent reputation for producing positive and consistent results with at-risk young girls and their families. Additionally, Cottonwood de Tucson is a proud member of National Association of Therapeutic Schools and Programs (NATSAP).

The Sweetwater Program utilizes a unique and engaging approach to the treatment of co-occurring disorders. This approach allows for the use of various treatment modalities that offer opportunities for introspection, insight, skill development, and social integration.  Our program provides treatment for co-occurring disorders such as:

Treatment is enhanced by a week-long, intensive family program, designed to enrich family relationships.  Family members are offered classes in effective parenting and communication skills.  The Sweetwater Program also includes comprehensive aftercare planning that targets the patient’s ongoing treatment needs. Aftercare recommendations may support a return home to engage in outpatient therapy and individual counseling, or admission to a therapeutic boarding school.
