The ROWI Difference

Family Oriented
The ROWI family extends from our Founders and Clinicians, to our teens, parents, and alumni community. We embrace everyone as family: growing, supporting, and learning together.

Clinician Owned
ROWI® is owned and operated by clinicians, not accountants. We lead with our first class facilities and innovative world class care.

Small Focused Groups
Our philosophy of care includes a near 1:1 staff to client ratio. Our focus is teen mental health; for resources on substance abuse or eating disorders please click here.
