At Vive Adolescent Care, we offer a series of in-depth assessments as a way of better understanding the cognitive and emotional condition of our patients. Having a clear picture of each child’s thoughts, feelings and behaviors is critical to developing a treatment plan tailored to their immediate needs and future goals.
A few of the primary outcomes derived from our assessments and other diagnostic tools are:
- Observations relative to how they manage the demands of social, educational, and family life.
- Clarity on past traumatic events.
- Deeper understanding of how they process feelings and thoughts, both negative and positive.
- Views on relationships and boundaries.
- Identification of strengths and weaknesses.
The Treatment of Every Child

Throughout their stay at Vive Adolescent Care, each adolescent is continuously observed by experienced clinical and direct care staff across a wide range of structured and everyday settings. Interactions are carefully documented to provide a comprehensive understanding of each adolescent’s emotional well-being, behavioral patterns, social interactions, coping skills, and overall progress. This ongoing assessment process enables the treatment team to identify meaningful trends, measure therapeutic growth, adjust interventions as needed, and ensure that every client receives the most personalized and effective care possible throughout their recovery journey.
Understand & Treat Each Teen
Daily visits from our psychiatric nurse practitioners, and other members of the clinical and medical teams, also are used in conjunction with our assessments to better understand and treat each teen in our care.
