A supportive bridge between intensive treatment and independent living
The Transitional Living Program at Adolbi Care Behavioral Health Center provides a supportive environment for adolescents and young adults who have progressed through more intensive treatment but still benefit from structure and guidance as they develop independence. This program serves as a vital bridge, helping young people apply the skills they've learned in a real-world context while maintaining therapeutic support.
Our transitional living environment offers a balance of independence and accountability, with staff available for support while residents take increasing responsibility for their daily lives. Residents typically have more freedom and privileges than in our GRO program, with expectations to participate in education, employment, or vocational training while continuing to engage in therapeutic services.
Through this program, young people develop practical life skills, build healthy community connections, and gain confidence in their ability to manage increasing levels of independence—all within a supportive environment that provides guidance and intervention when needed.

Balancing structure with increasing independence
