Medical briefcase icon Levels of Care

medically-assisted-detox iconMedically Assisted Detox

Drug and alcohol addiction often takes a heavy toll on one's body. Over time, a physical dependence can develop, meaning the body physiologically needs the substance to function. Detox is the process of removing drugs and/or alcohol from the body, a process that can be lethal if mismanaged. Medical detox is done by licensed medical professionals who monitor vital signs and keep you safe, healthy, and as comfortable as possible as you go through detox and withdrawal.

inpatient iconInpatient

EVOLVE Residential Treatment Programs (RTC) support adolescents 12-17 years old struggling with mental health, addiction, and behavioral issues. At the Residential level of care, teens live on-site with 24-hour support and supervision. They believe in the positive power of the family dynamic, so their treatment centers look and feel like homes. They’re small, serene, and quiet, with never more than six teens at a time in any one residential center. Every resident feels like they’re in a personal, individualized recovery center designed to meet their specific therapeutic needs.

12-step icon12-Step

12-step programs are addiction recovery models based on Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). A number of substance abuse programs (including some drug and alcohol rehab centers) use the 12 steps as a basis for treatment. Beginning steps involve admitting powerlessness over the addiction and creating a spiritual basis for recovery. Middle steps including making direct amends to those who've been hurt by the addiction, and the final step is to assist others in addiction recovery in the same way. 12-Step offshoots including Narcotics Anonymous (NA), Cocaine Anonymous (CA), Dual Recovery Anonymous (DRA), Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (SLAA) and Gamblers Anonymous (GA).

aftercare iconAftercare Support

Their clinicians and discharge coordinators work closely with parents, schools, and referring providers to ensure a seamless, successful transition from treatment to daily life. The Evolve team gathers critical data and engages in dialogue regarding problem and treatment history, strengths and deficits, and avenues for growth. Their goal is sustainable, lifelong recovery. Teens finish their programs with the tools and motivation to evolve and grow after they leave. Upon discharge from the more supervised and structured elements of their programs, they provide a detailed transition plan to support our teens in the months and years to come.

heart-hands iconIntervention Services

Intervention services helps family or friends of addicts stage an intervention, which is a meeting in which loved ones share their concerns and attempt to get an addict into treatment. Professional intervention specialists can help loved ones organize, gather, and communicate with an addict. They can guide intervention participants in describing the damage the addict's behavior is causing and that outside help is necessary to address the addiction. The ideal outcome of an intervention is for the addict to go to rehab and get the help they need.

Shield icon Insurance

Our Policy: Evolve Treatment Centers for Teens works with several private insurance providers and also accepts private payments when possible, please contact us to verify your specific insurance provider.

Heart icon Treatment

alcohol iconAlcoholism

The goal of treatment for alcoholism is abstinence. Those with poor social support, poor motivation, or psychiatric disorders tend to relapse within a few years of treatment. For these people, success is measured by longer periods of abstinence, reduced use of alcohol, better health, and improved social functioning. Recovery and Maintenance are usually based on 12 step programs and AA meetings.

drugs iconDrug Addiction

Drug rehab in California teaches participants constructive ways to stay clean and sober. Treatment revolves around helping individuals stop using the substance they are addicted to and learn healthy habits to avoid relapse.

check iconDual Diagnosis

Many of those suffering from addiction also suffer from mental or emotional illnesses like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, depression, or anxiety disorders. Rehab and other substance abuse facilities treating those with a dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorder administer psychiatric treatment to address the person's mental health issue in addition to drug and alcohol rehabilitation.

mental-health iconMental Health and Substance Abuse

A combined mental health and substance abuse rehab has the staff and resources available to handle individuals with both mental health and substance abuse issues. It can be challenging to determine where a specific symptom stems from (a mental health issue or an issue related to substance abuse), so mental health and substance abuse professionals are helpful in detangling symptoms and keeping treatment on track.

opium iconOpioid Addiction

Opioid rehabs specialize in supporting those recovering from opioid addiction. They treat those suffering from addiction to illegal opioids like heroin, as well as prescription drugs like oxycodone. These centers typically combine both physical as well as mental and emotional support to help stop addiction. Physical support often includes medical detox and subsequent medical support (including medication), and mental support includes in-depth therapy to address the underlying causes of addiction.

Hand holding medical sign icon Clinical Services

inpatient-file iconCognitive Behavioral Therapy

CBT focuses on making connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It’s based on the belief that when negative thought patterns are identified and adjusted, positive changes in feelings and behavior can take place. When people think of therapy in general, CBT is what comes to mind: talk, think, talk more, then apply the concepts from discussion to daily behavior. At Evolve, they always focus on changing behavior. If the talk doesn’t lead to positive change, then they find something that does.

art-brush iconCreative Arts Therapy

It’s no secret teens respond well to music and dancing. Expressive therapies like these improve self-understanding and teach productive ways to cope with uncomfortable feelings. Writing original lyrics helps identify and understand big emotions, and playing music has a magical way of simultaneously soothing and releasing those same emotions. Dance, like music, has an amazing capacity to unite mind, body, and soul in a single moment of pure joy and self-expression.

dialectical iconDialectical Behavior Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a modified form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a treatment designed to help people understand and ultimately affect the relationship between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. DBT is often used for individuals who struggle with self-harm behaviors, such as self-mutilation (cutting) and suicidal thoughts, urges, or attempts. It has been proven clinically effective for those who struggle with out-of-control emotions and mental health illnesses like Borderline Personality Disorder. DBT Group Therapy is a highly effective treatment for individuals with intense emotions, disrupted relationships, and impulsive behaviors. Evolve meets teens—as individuals and as groups—where they are in the moment, while maintaining a keen awareness of the necessity for change. Evolve uses DBT to help them understand and transform patterns of behavior such as self-harm, suicidal thinking, and substance abuse. DBT group therapy teaches teens to tolerate distress without making situations worse, be in the moment without judgment, observe and change strong emotions, and ask for what they want and need in an effective and productive way.

Eating Disorder Treatment

Eating disorders include anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, and dysfunctional eating patterns. Many psychologists and other mental health professionals consider eating disorders to be food addictions, meaning food is being used in an addictive way (similar to drug or alcohol addiction). Certain substance abuse treatment programs will have treatment for eating disorders as one of the services offered. An eating disorder may also present as a co-occuring disorder or dual diagnosis alongside drug and alcohol addiction.

equine-therapy iconEquine Therapy

Equine therapy, aka equine-assisted therapy (EAT), is a form of experiential therapy that involves interactions and activities with horses. Horses have a unique sensitivity to human emotions, which makes equine therapy an effective and widely accepted therapeutic tool. Teens can address and break down barriers and resistance toward the therapeutic process through their connection with horses. Their equine specialists hold certifications in the use of horses in therapeutic setting and specialize in working with teenagers with substance abuse and mental health issues. Equine therapists are present during the therapeutic process and work collaboratively with their clinical team in the development and implementation of the individual treatment plan.

medical-detox iconExperiential Therapy

Experiential therapy is a form of therapy in which clients are encouraged to surface and work through subconscious issues by engaging in real-time experiences. Their surfing program is all about taking therapy into nature. The National Surf School and Instructors Association accredits their surf instructors, who specialize in using surfing as a therapeutic tool and transformative experience. Therapeutic hiking groups provide their teens a unique opportunity to connect with nature. Nature hikes offer opportunities to develop a new self-image, a new way of relating to others and the environment, and new ways to respond to the challenges of daily life. Boxing helps teens learn to strategize, apply tactics, work hard, play hard, and recognize the proper time and place for this type of interaction. Evolve residential treatment centers are equipped with gym facilities their teens can use when they have down-time or free time. They take weekly trips to the beach, movies, special hiking trails, museums, miniature golf courses, and more.

family iconFamily Therapy

Research clearly demonstrates that recovery is far more successful and sustainable when loved ones like family members participate in rehab and substance abuse treatment. At Evolve they believe teens cannot be completely understood in isolation from their families. When possible, practical, and productive, they require family members or caregivers to participate in family therapy sessions at least once a week. They prefer families to attend sessions in person, however, they accommodate sessions by telephone or web chat if necessary. The primary therapist will determine how to conduct family sessions. In addition to the family therapy sessions, families participate in multi-family parent support groups held every Sunday. These group sessions allow for families, teens, and therapists to meet either as a large group or in small, intimate groups to collaborate and share their treatment experiences. Parents need support, too. And sometimes, they need to talk to other parents without kids around. They offer support groups designed to teach parents a new set of skills to help them cope with their new normal.

Fitness Therapy

Fitness therapy blends exercise with psychotherapy for a fun, inspiring, and effective way of treating addiction and other issues. By incorporating movement into counseling sessions, clients become more empowered, motivated, and goal-oriented, all while strengthening their bodies and becoming more flexible. Fitness Therapy is usually used to complement a course of treatment (inpatient or outpatient) to make it even more successful. Increasing the connection between a patient’s mind and body helps both with healing as well as in creating new, healthy habits.

intervention iconGroup Therapy

Group Therapy is a powerful therapeutic tool at all levels of treatment. Peer approval and acceptance means everything to teens. During group sessions, therapists help teens develop and explore interpersonal relationships and work on specific treatment goals. At Evolve, they use group therapy in a variety of ways. Their teens participate in recreational groups, daily process groups, and 12-Step meetings when appropriate.

mental-health iconIndividual Therapy

In individual therapy, a patient meets one-on-one with a trained psychologist or counselor. Therapy is a pivotal part of effective substance abuse treatment, as it often covers root causes of addiction, including challenges faced by the patient in their social, family, and work/school life.

life-skills iconLife Skills

Life skills trainings involve all the skills a person must have in order to function successfully in the world. During treatment, they offer career and college counseling, vocational opportunities, educational support, and student advocacy. Each center is equipped with a state-of-the-art computing facility that enables students to access public and/or private online learning programs and resources.

desert iconMotivational Interviewing

Motivational Interviewing (MI) is a clinical approach to helping people with substance abuse issues and other conditions shift behavior in positive ways. It is more goal-oriented than traditional psychotherapy, as MI counselors directly attempt to get clients to consider making behavioral change (rather than wait for them to come to conclusions themselves). Its primary purpose is to resolve ambivalence and help clients become able to make healthy choices freely.

recreational-therapy iconRecreational Therapy

Recreational therapy (aka therapeutic recreation) uses creative and fun activities to help with addiction recovery. Recreational therapists lead patients in entertaining and engaging activities like sports or games; art (drawing, painting, sculpture); drama, music, and dance; and/or community outings (field trips) to improve patients' physical, social, and emotional well-being.

house-medical iconTrauma Therapy

Trauma therapy addresses traumatic incidents from a client's past that are likely affecting their present-day experience. Trauma is often one of the primary triggers and potential causes of addiction, and can stem from child sexual abuse, domestic violence, having a parent with a mental illness, losing one or both parents at a young age, teenage or adult sexual assault, or any number of other factors. The purpose of trauma therapy is to allow a patient to process trauma and move through and past it, with the help of trained and compassionate mental health professionals.

This place single-handedly changed my life. I was in evolve in 2018 after attempting to end my life. i was suffering with BPD and had horrible body image issues, an eating disorder, self worth problems, and was extremely self destructive. The 6 weeks i spent here changed my entire life. from the amazing staff who genuinely wanted to listen, to the cook who made sure we knew food was a good thing and not something to be afraid of, to knowing my therapist genuinely engaged the best for me was something i d never had in my life. growing up in the south where people are very closed minded really affected my mental health. for the first time ever i felt listened to. i felt seen. and i didn t feel guilty for who i was. i have had many downfalls and failures since leaving evolve, but i never gave up. this place changed my whole mindset. i went from a suicidal teen who didn t think she d live past 18 to a successful young woman who is engaged with a baby on the way in my own home before the age of 20. evolve made me want to live. and i ll never be able to say enough good things about this place. ever.

My husband and I were at a loss as to how to handle my 17 year old daughters failing grades, drinking, cutting and drug use. She had suffered an assault and had significant trauma her therapist wasn t able to handle. We had no idea where to go and our options seemed very limited until a coworker insisted we call Evolve. That phone call saved us; from the woman that took our initial phone call to the discharge nurse and absolutely everyone in between, they were amazing!!!! I feel that they saved our family and continue to do so even after our daughter was back home. I cannot say enough about my love for this program and the people who do this ever important work!!!

I can t say enough good things about Evolve Treatment Centers. My daughter just completed treatment at the Mt. Helix facility and I feel like they literally saved her life. It s a scary feeling to send your suffering teen off into the care of others. She said from the minute that she arrived to the time that she left, she felt cared for, at home and the things she was learning really clicked for her. Family involvement is a vital piece. Through family therapy we also learned ways that we could help. I finally feel like there s hope for a better future. I am so happy that we found Evolve. They really know what they are doing there and exceeded our expectations by far!

My daughter had a wonderful experience at Evolve, Vanalden. Her therapist there was fantastic. She was in a very destructive mode. The intensive DBT skills that she learned gave her skills to deal with her emotions. The staff worked with her and with us so that now we are in a much better place. I highly recommend this treatment center.

I had a great experience with Brooke from Evolve. I was treated with respect and she took the time to listen. She was caring and understanding. When parents are dealing with the most difficult decisions regarding their child it is a comfort to know that there are people who are in the profession for the right reasons..The children

When I found Evolve our family was at our deepest low. My child had made a lethal attempt to end their life. Each person we met and engaged with helped us feel safe and supported in our journey. While it was our child that stayed here, our family has deeply changed for the better because of you.Evolve is unique... They somehow managed to identify a way to evaluate each person for commitment, compassion, advocacy, expertise and kindness. It's a rare thing. So grateful for each you!And while I am hoping that we won't need services in�the future... I know where to turn if I do.

Brooke Harper has been one of the kindest, most accommodating and beyond informative people I ve ever worked with in this industry! I called her last minute to tour their beautiful facilities, and she didn t skip a beat! I highly recommend this program not only for the amazing support and healing they do for this young generation, but also for the genuine kindness of each and every staff member I came across, including their chef, who had popovers hot and ready when I walked through the door! Thank you Brooke for such an incredible experience!Much gratitude,Rebecca

Amazing place of recovery and healing. Highly highly recommend. Our daughter, 14 year old, was suicidal with many mental health and family issues. The staff is amazing and our daughter is back home and doing well. Without Evolve this wouldn't have been possible. Her Therapist, Carolina, is the best therapist on the planet. Love them and this place. They saved my baby girl. Trust them and go.

No matter what I say, I can t possibly describe what a fabulous experience Evolve Treatment Centers was for my teenager and our family. From the first phone call I made, I knew we finally found the place that was going to give my teen the real help he needed. I still can t believe that Evolve is in network for BCBS!!! We aren't even from California, but Evolve was still able to include us in family therapy through an online private video conferencing service, and we talked to our child every single night of the 30 days he was there. There were also so many activities for us to enjoy with our son at the house when we visited. Our son absolutely thrived during his time there. The Evolve doctors finally got my son the correct diagnosis and correct medication after years of missteps with our regular treating physicians. Our son loved his therapists and group leaders and he made some real healthy connections with the other teens in the house. He also liked the food a lot! The schedule the kids follow is phenomenal self care, surf therapy, equine therapy, DBT, CBT, mindfulness, exercise, healthy eating they have it all! I never once worried about my son s safety, treatment plan or insurance coverage. He really learned a lot about his diagnosis and coping skills. I hope this review will help other families rest assured with their decision to treat with Evolve. We have absolutely no regrets except that we couldn t take the Evolve team home with us!
