Medical Wellness Center
For 12 years, Paradigm Treatment has been providing residential treatment for teens ages 12-17 with mental health issues. Their medical and clinical teams delve deep to address the root causes of the struggles young people face in today’s stress-filled world. They work closely with youth and their families, treating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, mood and personality disorders, and co-occurring substance use. Paradigm Treatment notably provides 4 individual therapy sessions per week, plus regular group and family sessions.Their academic coordinators address academic issues so that students can resume studies after treatment, while experiential approaches such as yoga, meditation, and equine therapy empower clients to transform their lives. Paradigm works with most commercial insurance, is accredited by The Joint Commission, and is in-network with Anthem, among others.
Paradigm’s 4 beautiful Malibu locations offer a comfortable atmosphere for teens, all while providing the top notch clinical and therapeutic treatment they need to recover. Paradigm is just blocks away from the ocean, allowing for beach excursions and sandy strolls. With only 6 clients allowed at a time per house, care at Paradigm is wholly intimate and personal, offering a space for reflection and healing. Paradigm’s mission is to get to the root cause of mental health disorders, first beginning with thorough psychological, physical, and nutritional assessments. The staff at Paradigm Treatment are both accredited and dedicated, walking teens and young adults through mental disorders and light to moderate substance use with a caring, compassionate, and professional hand.
Paradigm’s 30-90-day program gives clients ample time to heal before returning to life outside of residential treatment. To combine and balance clinical treatment with experiential modalities, Paradigm also offers plentiful on and off-site activities, like swimming, surfing, horseback riding, a hot tub, and much more. Academic collaboration may also be used during the school year to maintain continuity with home schools. The program sets aside 3 hours for school, 5 days a week.
Clients at Paradigm enjoy a memorable spread of amenities and specializations. Individualized and strengths-based treatment gives each teen or young adult the best chance for success, empowering them to keep choosing recovery and strive towards healing. Clients and their families retain access to aftercare services for 3 years after treatment, allowing for healing and recovery to fully integrate into the minds and lives of those in treatment.
