Assessments & Family Involvement
Upon admission to a Paradigm Treatment young adult or teen mental health center, clients undergo detailed assessments to identify their unique needs, strengths, and challenges. These evaluations ensure your child receives a proper diagnosis and are central to our holistic care approach.
As the parent or caregiver, your involvement is central, too. We strongly encourage participation in family therapy sessions, goal setting, and progress planning, and will work with you at the conclusion of your teen’s treatment to create a sustainable plan for aftercare.
The Need for San Diego Inpatient Mental Health Care
Depression and other mood-related disorders are on the rise in teens. This is especially true in Southern California, where diagnosed cases of depression among youths aged 5 to 22 rose by nearly 60% between 2017 and 2021, and anxiety disorder diagnoses jumped by about 30%.
Despite these troubling statistics, sufficient care is lacking. For example, in Santa Monica, adolescent inpatient mental health services are limited and may require an extensive waiting period. The same goes for teen alcohol rehab in San Diego and neighboring towns like Encinitas, Del Mar, and Coronado. Paradigm’s Malibu and San Rafael residential programs look to fill in the gap, providing structured, evidence-based care and family-centered therapy right in the state for San Diego residents and other teens in need of qualified clinical support.
