Apollo Adolescent Care is a structured transitional housing program for adolescent boys stepping down from residential treatment — a safe, substance-free home where the routines of real life are rebuilt one day at a time.
For many boys, the progress made in residential treatment is real — and fragile. Returning straight to old routines, friends, and pressures can undo months of work in a matter of weeks.
Apollo is built for that gap. We're a structured transitional residence: a safe, substance-free home with daily routine, accountability, and a recovery-minded community — so boys keep their footing while they slowly rebuild the everyday life that recovery depends on.
The goal isn't to keep them longer. It's to send them home ready.
Apollo provides transitional housing for adolescent boys, ages 13 to 17, who are stepping down from a higher level of care and continuing their recovery from mental health and substance use challenges.
Apollo is a transitional housing program — not an acute or medical level of care. Boys in active crisis, requiring detox, or needing 24-hour clinical supervision are best served at a higher level first. Our admissions team helps families find the right fit, even when that's somewhere other than Apollo.
Most residents arrive on a referral from a residential program, therapeutic school, or treatment consultant. We coordinate closely with each boy's existing outpatient therapist and care team so nothing gets lost in the transition.
"Recovery doesn't end when treatment does. With the right support, it takes root."
"A stable home is where hard-won progress becomes something a young man can keep."
"We meet each resident where he is, and walk with him toward where he's going."
Recovery sticks when daily life supports it. Apollo surrounds each boy with structure, community, and accountability.
A predictable daily routine — wake times, chores, curfews, and accountability — that rebuilds the stability recovery requires.
A substance-free home and peer environment with house meetings and shared accountability — recovery is easier alongside others doing the same work.
Cooking, budgeting, laundry, time management, and healthy routines — the practical scaffolding that lets a boy eventually stand on his own.
We coordinate with home districts, online programs, and tutors so school keeps moving and boys stay on track to graduate.
We keep parents close with regular updates and prepare the home a boy returns to — because lasting change involves the whole family.
A low resident-to-staff ratio means a boy is known, not processed. House life actually reflects the boys living it.
We reintroduce the demands of normal life — school, chores, independence — in graduated, supported doses.
Regular communication, parent involvement, and a plan for the home a boy returns to. The household evolves with him.
We coordinate with prior and current providers, so progress is never lost in the handoff between levels of care.
Apollo sits in the light and quiet of South Florida, in an environment built to feel like a home, not an institution.

Transitional housing is a structured, substance-free living environment that bridges intensive residential treatment and a return to everyday life. It provides routine, accountability, and a recovery-supportive community while a boy gradually rebuilds the demands of school, family, and independence — so the progress made in treatment has a chance to last.
Apollo operates as a structured housing program, not a clinical treatment provider. We actively support and coordinate with each resident's existing outpatient providers and care team — therapy, psychiatry, and treatment stay with the professionals who already know your son.
Length of stay is individualized and based on readiness rather than a fixed timeline. We review progress regularly with your family, and a move home happens when your son is genuinely prepared for the next step — not arbitrarily.
Most residents step down from residential treatment, a therapeutic school, or a higher level of care. Placement decisions are based on fit, so we're glad to talk through your son's history and help you understand whether transitional housing is the right next step.
Closely. Regular progress updates, parent guidance, structured visitation, and collaborative transition planning are core to the program. The home a boy returns to has to evolve alongside him, so we keep families engaged throughout the stay.
Our team will walk you through cost and exactly what's included before any commitment, so there are no surprises. Because Apollo is currently a housing program rather than a clinical provider, coverage works differently than for treatment — we'll explain the specifics for your situation.
Apollo Adolescent Care is located in the Palm Beach area of South Florida. Our team can share specific location details and answer logistical questions when you reach out.
