This center treats substance use disorders and mental health conditions. You'll receive individualized care catered to your unique situation and diagnosis, learn practical skills for recovery, and make new connections in a restorative environment.

Evolve provides adolescent-specific treatment for teens with addiction, acute mental health concerns, and co-occurring conditions. Their Calabasas location provides a full continuum of care for teens ages 12-17 and support for their families. Each of their residential locations welcomes just 6 teens at a time for a more personalized treatment experience. Full-time, onsite psychiatrists provide frequent services and remain available 24/7. Each teen at Evolve receives an individualized treatment plan based on their unique needs. Evolve’s team includes psychiatrists, a clinical program director, primary therapists, counselors, a facility manager, and recovery coaches. Their clinical staff undergo training in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) and implement a primary 4-part DBT program to help teens understand their motivations, manage relationships, and learn actionable skills to cope with strong emotions. Additional evidence-based therapies include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing techniques, and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. Other mindfulness practices include mindful walking, mindful cooking, yoga, and meditation. Evolve also provides a wide range of experiential therapies, including equine-assisted therapy, hiking, surf therapy, art therapy, psychodrama, and social outings. Evolve treats substance addictions and mental health conditions, including acute conditions like suicidality and self-harm. They also treat depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma/post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), personality disorders, psychotic disorders, disordered eating, and gender dysphoria. Teens receive weekly psychiatry sessions, 3 individual therapy sessions, 2 family therapy sessions, a minimum of 15 clinical groups, and several experiential therapy groups each week. Evolve also offers a weekly virtual parent support group for the parents of current clients and alumni. Evolve helps teens stay connected to school and academic responsibilities during the school year. They collaborate with educators and set aside time daily for teens to work on homework. Their facility has a separate space for learning with computers, desks, and books. Evolve provides a full continuum of care, with day treatment (or partial hospitalization) and after-school intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) at their outpatient facilities. Teens can also attend outpatient care virtually.
