The facility accommodates up to six residents at a time, offering private or shared rooms, nutritious chef-prepared meals, and amenities including a pool, fitness center, and outdoor spaces that promote both comfort and recovery. The dual-diagnosis program employs a comprehensive approach to treating a broad spectrum of conditions including anxiety, depression, PTSD, mood disorders, personality disorders, substance abuse, and high-functioning autism with co-occurring conditions. Treatment plans are individually tailored following thorough clinical assessments and regularly adjusted to address each teen's evolving needs. Evolve's therapeutic approach combines evidence-based modalities with experiential therapies. The clinical team is particularly specialized in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with clients participating in four DBT groups weekly. Additional evidence-based treatments include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and mindfulness practices. The center enriches the therapeutic experience through equine-assisted therapy, art therapy, music and dance therapy, drama therapy, surf therapy with accredited instructors, hiking, and yoga. Family involvement is integral to the treatment process, with family therapy and support groups enabling parents and siblings to collaborate with care providers. The center maintains academic continuity by allocating two hours of schoolwork each weekday. Weekly community outings to beaches, hiking trails, museums, and other local attractions provide opportunities for teens to practice social skills and experience healthy recreational activities. The facility is fully licensed with 24/7 professional staffing, creating a structured, therapeutic environment.
