Addiction Resource Score
Scoring is assigned by a proprietary system which helps surface key metrics that determine quality. The 10-point scale factors in categories such as operations, customer satisfaction, and trust metrics.
We understand that choosing an addiction treatment center can be overwhelming, especially with so many options, promises, and marketing messages. That's why we've developed a clear, standardized rating system designed to cut through the noise and highlight what truly matters: safety, quality of care, and transparency. Our goal is to give individuals and families the information they need to make confident, informed decisions during a critical time.
In this guide, we explain exactly how we rate treatment centers—from accreditation and staff credentials to therapy options, facility environment, and family involvement. You'll see how we assign scores, award badges, and update listings to ensure accuracy and fairness. Most importantly, our system focuses on elevating centers that prioritize ethical, evidence-based care, not just those with the best marketing. This way, you can trust that the ratings you see reflect meaningful standards that help you find the right fit for lasting recovery.

Located in Waynesville, Missouri, Perimeter mental of Missouri—formerly Piney Ridge Center—is a mental health center. For teenagers who deal with a variety of mental health issues, the facility offers extensive residential and outpatient programs. The age range for these programs is 13 to 18. Perimeter Behavioral of Missouri strives to assist adolescents in minimizing trauma, establishing healthy coping mechanisms, and gaining confidence via tailored care and therapy treatments.
With 96 beds, the residential care facility provides an organized setting for teenagers to interact with their peers and promote personal development. In order to incorporate loved ones in the healing process, the program consists of many weekly sessions of both individual and group therapy in addition to family gatherings. Participants may concentrate on their mental health and behavioral rehabilitation while receiving educational services at a nearby campus, which guarantees that their academic demands will be satisfied.
Within the residential program, specialized tracks are offered to meet the special requirements of teenagers with certain behavioral issues.

It does this by promoting empathy and healthy ways for the boys to express themselves. Another track gives at-risk adolescents trust interventions so they may learn healthy behavior management skills before their actions get out of control.
