Residential Treatment
Residential Treatment Center for Teens & Young Adults in California
It’s not a secret that adolescence is a challenging time. Adolescents often experience numerous interpersonal conflicts, issues with self-esteem, bodily and hormonal changes, all while still trying to navigate new life experiences. Teens and young adults that also struggle with mental health disorders can understandably start feeling overwhelmed.
These struggles may interfere with their ability to function optimally in different areas of their life such as school, personal relationships, and extracurricular activities. At Paradigm Treatment, we understand these challenges and have created a supportive residential mental health treatment for teens and young adults ages 12-26 for the past 12 years.
Paradigm Treatment provides customized care with a diverse range of therapies that cater to each individual’s unique needs. Our residential program follows a complete continuum-of-care approach, which includes evidence-based clinical therapies and a comprehensive range of integrative and holistic programs. In our safe and supportive environment, teens and young adults can uncover and explore their thoughts and emotions, acquire new coping mechanisms, and build lasting healthy behaviors by accessing a variety of interventions and treatment options.

What are the Benefits of a Residential Treatment Center for Teens?
There are several benefits to a residential treatment center that is specifically designed for teens and young adults, including:
- A safe and supportive environment: Residential treatment centers provide a safe and supportive environment for teens and young adults to undergo treatment. These centers offer round-the-clock supervision and support from experienced mental health professionals, which can help individuals feel secure and comforted as they work through their mental health challenges.
- Intensive, structured care: Residential treatment centers offer intensive, structured care that is tailored to each individual’s unique needs. This level of care can be especially beneficial for teens and young adults who need more intensive support to manage their mental health and attain improved health and happiness.
- Comprehensive care: Residential treatment centers offer a comprehensive approach to mental health care that is designed to promote long-term recovery. This approach includes a wide range of evidence-based therapies and treatment modalities, including traditional talk therapies, experiential programs, and holistic treatments.
- Academic Support: For teens and young adults who have had to put their academic aspirations on hold due to mental health concerns, residential treatment centers offer academic support. This support not only prepares clients academically but also improves their readiness to reintegrate successfully into academic environments.
- Peer Support: Residential treatment centers offer the opportunity for teens and young adults to connect with peers who are going through similar challenges which can be helpful in fostering a sense of community and building a support network that can be useful in their recovery journey.
- Continued Support: Residential treatment centers offer a continuum of care beyond the residential period with weekly aftercare sessions, support groups, and teletherapy sessions to ensure success and positive long-term outcomes.
Our residential program provides a full continuum-of-care approach. These programs are designed to provide clients with a safe and supportive environment to explore their thoughts and feelings, learn new coping mechanisms, and practice healthy behaviors that become habits.

How Do I Know if My Child Needs a Residential Treatment Program?
It can be difficult for parents to identify when their teen or young adult requires residential treatment for mental health. However, there are some signs to watch out for that may indicate the need for more intensive care, including:
- A decline in academic or work performance: If your teen or young adult’s grades or performance at work have suddenly dropped without any clear reason, it could be a sign of an underlying mental health issue.
- Social or behavioral changes: If your teen or young adult is suddenly staying away from friends, isolating themselves, or engaging in risky behavior, this could be indicative of mental health struggles.
- Verbal or physical outbursts: If a teen or young adult is experiencing emotional turmoil, they may act out verbally or physically. While this doesn’t necessarily mean they need residential treatment, it may indicate they need mental health support.
- Substance abuse: Substance abuse often co-occurs with mental health disorders. If your teen or young adult is using drugs or alcohol, it may be a sign they need to address their mental health as well.
- Lack of engagement in self-care: When individuals struggle with their mental health, they may lose interest in taking care of themselves, leading to changes in their hygiene, eating habits, or sleeping patterns.
If any of these signs are present for an extended period, it may be time to consider seeking professional help. Consulting a mental health professional or doctor can help evaluate if residential treatment is necessary. Paradigm Treatment offers free and confidential consultations to parents to help identify whether a residential treatment program for their teen or young adult is necessary.

Our residential treatment center helps young individuals develop the necessary skills to manage their mental health and encourages them to set goals. This includes developing coping mechanisms, problem-solving skills, stress management techniques, and emotional regulation to navigate future situations and stressors that they may encounter.

Young individuals also prepare for the workforce, identify career objectives, and acquire the necessary skills to meet those objectives. Services offered at Paradigm Treatment provide our clients with guidance on how to write resumes, evaluate job opportunities, prepare for employment interviews, and develop internships/apprenticeships.
