Watching your daughter struggle with alcohol is frightening for any parent. You may be fearing the next phone call from school or feel like you’re walking on eggshells.
Our program offers specialized teen alcohol treatment for girls 13–17. It’s a calm, nature-based environment where they can pause, reflect, and begin a new chapter.
Located a short drive away in Argyle, our ranch serves families across the Austin area who are ready to move from crisis to connection.
When to consider treatment for your daughter
In Austin’s high-stress environment, some girls turn to alcohol to cope. When your home life has become a cycle of secrecy and conflict, it’s a sign she’s in crisis mode.
- Academic struggles.
- Strained family bonds
- Anxiety, feelings of worthlessness, or withdrawal
- Self-destructive habits
- Self-harm or risky social choices
At Roots, we help families move past surface behaviors to treat the complex trauma underneath. We replace your daughter’s fear with a convicted belief that she is worthy.
Our unique approach to healing
Our teen alcohol treatment program was founded based on lived experience with loss and recovery, which is why we lead with compassion rather than shame.
Our nature-based clinical reset is not about “fixing” a child but about helping her rediscover who she truly is.
- Relational healing: We don’t use tough love. We use connection and natural consequences to help girls rediscover their true selves.
- The root cause: Our 8 clinical focus weeks tackle the why behind the drinking—focusing on themes like shame resilience and grief.
- The power of OT: In our occupational therapy, girls practice real-world tangible skills that stick when they return home.
