At Evolve Ojai, we provide the highest caliber of evidence-based residential treatment for children and adolescents 12-17 struggling with depression, anxiety, substance use, dual diagnosis, ADHD, self-harming or high-risk behaviors, suicidality, Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder, and other emotional/behavioral issues. Our primary modes of treatment are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. We believe treatment works best when it is individually tailored. Our clinical staff conducts a comprehensive evaluation of each child and teen pre- and post-admission in order to develop a customized, highly detailed treatment plan that is constantly updated based on treatment progress. Our robust clinical program includes individual and family therapy, weekly psychiatry, daily academics, and groups on DBT Skills Training, Anger Management, Relapse Prevention, & Seeking Safety. Kids and teens also participate in experiential therapies (e.g. equine, surfing, music, art, dance, kickboxing, fitness, cooking, yoga, and meditation). We offer 12-Step/SMART Recovery programs for those struggling with substance use and dual diagnoses.
