Tessera Adolescent Health Outlines Educational Assistance During Residential Care for Teens in Pennsylvania
The center located in Levittown integrates planned educational lessons and school collaboration into residential treatment for adolescents with mental health and substance use issues.
Levittown, PA — November 11, 2026 — Tessera Adolescent Health, a behavioral health treatment provider in Pennsylvania, has detailed the integration of academic support within its residential treatment for teens aged 14 to 17. The education program at the center features organized classes, collaboration with students' schools, and academic planning integrated with mental health treatment for teens as well as substance use disorder services.
The organization states that teenagers in residential care can maintain their usual school work while engaging in clinical therapy. The program offers three hours of allocated educational time every weekday, overseen by an on-site Education Coordinator. Educational services are offered to teenagers whose time in residence lasts for a minimum of five school days within the academic year.
Tessera asserts that its educational agreements aim to ensure a seamless transition between residential care and the student's standard academic setting. Instead of implementing a distinct curriculum, students typically finish tasks assigned by their current schools via online educational platforms.
The Education Coordinator at the center liaises with schools, with parental or guardian permission, to acquire up-to-date assignments, educational documents, and relevant learning modifications. As per Tessera's outlined procedures, the first contact with the school occurs within two school days of admission, and a tailored education plan for the residential period is created within five school days.
The initiative also takes into account students who have Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or Section 504 plans. The organization claims that its educational team collaborates with families and school staff to determine current academic needs and explore how appropriate accommodations can be implemented during treatment.
Tessera Adolescent Health offers inpatient care for adolescents dealing with mental health issues, substance use problems, or simultaneous conditions. Its clinical offerings encompass individual therapy, group counseling, family therapy, psychiatric services, and treatment methods like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT).
The center indicates that academic activities are planned to occur concurrently with these clinical services instead of supplanting them. Its daily framework includes educational sessions, therapy appointments, monitored activities, and allotted time for family interactions.
The organization's drug and alcohol addiction treatment services focus on adolescent substance use, including cases where substance-related issues arise alongside depression, anxiety, trauma symptoms, or other mental health disorders. Academic coordination continues to be a component of the residential program for qualifying students who benefit from these services.
Michael Urban, Executive Director of Tessera Adolescent Health, commented, “Our initiative integrates educational assistance within residential therapy, enabling adolescents to pursue their studies while undergoing clinical treatment. We additionally collaborate with families and schools to assist their return to normal academic schedules.”
Tessera mentions that academic planning is also included in the discharge process. With necessary consent, the Education Coordinator gives the student's home school a summary of finished coursework and helps in planning the return to standard classes.
The center shares that it also engages families in residential care. Weekly family therapy meetings offer chances to talk about communication, treatment advancement, and issues related to coming home, including educational obligations.
The organization states that its residential program is designed for teenagers whose mental health or substance use issues necessitate more supervision and clinical support than what is possible in an outpatient environment. The suitable level of care is established via a personal clinical evaluation.
