We offer residential, partial hospitalization program (PHP), intensive outpatient program (IOP), and outpatient care with individualized treatment and strong family involvement.

About Our Center

Evidence-based, Individualized Care: Our treatment model is rooted in proven, evidence-based approaches, with a strong emphasis on dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). All of our programs provide adherent DBT skills training to help teens build practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. We also integrate modalities like motivational interviewing, seeking safety, relapse prevention, behavioral activation, and SMART Recovery (Self-Management and Recovery Training) when appropriate. Every teen receives a customized treatment plan developed by our multidisciplinary team. Residential, PHP, IOP, and Therapy Programs: Evolve offers a full continuum of care, including residential treatment centers across California, as well as partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and virtual outpatient therapy and psychiatry. Our residential programs combine individual, family, and group therapy with psychiatry and a wide range of experiential therapies such as equine-assisted therapy, art, surf, music, drama, yoga, and fitness. Teens also receive daily academic support to help them stay on track with school. Safe, Supportive Environment: With one of the highest staff-to-client ratios in the nation (1:3), we ensure 24/7 safety and individualized attention. Our programs provide a warm, comfortable setting while maintaining strict safety protocols, including line-of-sight supervision and 1:1 support when needed. Family-Centered Approach: We work closely with families throughout treatment and beyond. Out-of-state families can join sessions virtually through HIPAA-compliant platforms. At discharge, we provide detailed aftercare planning, including family support, home contracts, and local provider referrals to ensure a smooth transition. Accredited and Licensed Programs: Evolve is fully licensed and accredited by the Community Care Licensing Division (CCLD), CARF, and the Joint Commission. Our programs meet the highest standards in clinical excellence and compliance, giving families peace of mind that their teen is receiving safe, effective treatment. Admissions and Insurance: Our Admissions Director, a licensed clinician, provides free assessments to help determine the best level of care for your teen. We accept most private insurance and can assist families with maximizing their benefits or securing single-case agreements when needed.
