RESIDENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH TREATMENT FOR TEENS & YOUNG ADULTS 12-26 ACCREDITED BY THE JOINT COMMISSION

For 12 years, Paradigm Treatment has been providing residential treatment for teens and young adults 12-26 with mental health issues. Our medical and clinical teams delve deep to address the root causes of the struggles young people face in today’s stress-filled world. We work closely with youth and their families treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, mood and personality disorders, and co-occurring substance use. Our teachers address academic issues so that students are able to resume studies after treatment while experiential approaches such as yoga, meditation, and equine therapy empower clients to transform their lives. We work with most commercial insurance and we are in-network with Anthem, among others. There IS hope. Call (855) 921-4973.
