Comprehensive Residential Treatment Center for Adolescent Girls Serving Chicago and Surrounding Areas

At SunCloud Health’s residential treatment center for adolescent girls in Matteson, Illinois, we provide comprehensive, evidence-based care for teens ages 13–17 navigating complex mental health challenges. While our campus is located in the south suburbs, just a short drive from Chicago, we welcome families from across the greater Chicago area and beyond.

Our three-acre campus offers a safe, structured, and supportive environment where teens can step away from daily stressors and focus fully on healing. Here, they receive 24-hour care within a nurturing therapeutic community that combines clinical expertise with genuine compassion.

Who We Treat at Our Chicago-Area Residential Program for Adolescent Girls

Our program is designed for adolescent girls experiencing:

  • Eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and ARFID
  • Mood disorders: depression, bipolar disorder, and more
  • Anxiety disorders: generalized anxiety disorder, social anxiety, and OCD

Support forCo-Occurring Disorders

Psychiatrists, therapists, dietitians, and medical providers collaborate daily to address the full picture of each adolescent’s needs.

This integrated approach means:

  • We treat the whole person, not just one diagnosis
  • Families receive one unified treatment plan with consistent communication
  • Each intervention reinforces progress across all conditions

Contact SunCloud Health to get your teen the care they require today.

Why Residential Treatment Near ChicagoHelps Teens Heal

Residential treatment allows adolescent girls to step away from the pressures of home, school, and social life to focus completely on recovery. The immersive environment provides:

  • Consistent therapeutic support throughout the day
  • A safe and structured space for emotional regulation
  • Opportunities to practice coping skills in real time

Family Involvement

Continuing Care and Transition Planning

From the beginning, we plan for each teen’s transition out of residential care. This may include stepping down to our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Chicago or coordinating with local outpatient providers to ensure continuity of care.
