Mission Statement
We know first-hand the obstacles, frustrations, and fears that an individual and their family face when confronted with adolescent substance use. From finding an effective treatment program to restoring relationships and healing the family, it is a challenge that at times feels insurmountable. Having come out stronger, closer, and more united on the other side, our family has dedicated itself to helping others do the same. With Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center, the Fikes family committed to creating a safe haven for other adolescents to find lifelong healing and purpose. Today, our custom-built lodge overlooking a peaceful 65-acre campus provides that protective environment, one removed from the pressures of the outside world.
Stonewater Adolescent Recovery Center is a family-owned, adolescent, 60-90 day, dual-diagnosis residential program addressing adolescent needs in a serene, homelike environment on 65 acres in Northern Mississippi.
Stonewater Recovery uses an integrated DBT platform, along with purpose-focused programming and a host of evidence-based experiential therapies to address adolescent substance use and co-occurring disorders with the most innovative and comprehensive approaches available. After extensive assessment including psychological testing, our team works to create the best possible plan to effect real change – change that is not only visible in the treatment setting but as the adolescent re-adapts to life outside.
Stonewater is able to work with many commercial insurers including Cigna, Aetna, UMR, BCBS, United, and TRICARE.
Our team of adolescent experts is equipped to treat a variety of mental and behavioral health challenges, including:
ADHD
Depression
Anxiety
Trauma
Substance Use
Suicidal Thoughts
Bipolar Disorder
Marijuana Use
Alcohol Use
Opioid Use
Cocaine Use
Vaping
Gaming
Oppositional Defiance
And many others
Stonewater also treats the above issues in a virtual IOP (VIOP) setting for both adolescent boys and girls.
