We use virtual reality technology as an evidence-based approach to treat various psychological disorders. One of the main issues treated using VRET is post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). VRET enables individuals with PTSD to confront their fears in a safe and controlled environment, gradually reducing their anxiety levels. Another significant issue treated using VRET is phobias. Phobias are characterized by an excessive and irrational fear of specific objects or situations. By using virtual reality, individuals with phobias can experience real-life scenarios that trigger their fear, helping them overcome their anxiety and develop coping strategies. VRET is also used to treat anxiety disorders, such as social anxiety and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). These disorders are characterized by excessive worry, fear, and apprehension. By immersing individuals in a virtual environment that simulates social situations or anxiety-provoking situations, VRET helps desensitize them to the triggers and develops coping strategies for managing anxiety.

Medication-assisted treatment, or MAT, is a time-tested method that uses both medication and counseling to help adults achieve recovery from alcohol or opioid addiction. Years of research has shown that people who take part in MAT are more likely to remain in treatment and less likely to relapse. Contrary to popular belief, MAT doesn’t involve swapping one drug for another. When taken as directed, MAT medications can help people stop abusing certain substances and may ease distressing cravings and painful withdrawal symptoms. But just taking medication only addresses the physical aspects of addiction. By also participating in counseling, a person can change their behaviors or learn healthier ways to manage intense emotions. This approach addresses addiction from a more holistic standpoint, making sure that people establish a solid foothold in recovery. As they progress through treatment, many people can drive a vehicle, return to work, or become more active in their communities again.

Center For Discovery has been providing excellent behavioral health treatment since treating our first client in 1997. Discovery offers a full continuum of care specializing in the unique and specific needs associated with eating disorder, mental health, and substance abuse treatment. Discovery treats adult women 18 and over and adolescent males and females ages 10 - 19 in separate programs. Our treatment locations offer a warm and engaging environment that fosters long term recovery. Each program treats a small number of clients at a time allowing for truly individualized care that is focused on healing both the client and their family.

At Newport Academy, our comprehensive approach supports young people ages 12 and up to address the root causes of self-destructive behaviors, not just the symptoms. From a foundation of compassionate care, clinical expertise, and unconditional love, we guide teens and their families to achieve long-term, sustainable healing by treating the underlying trauma and attachment wounds that catalyze depression, anxiety, substance abuse, eating disorders, and other co-occurring disorders. Incorporating clinical, experiential, and holistic modalities, our gender-specific treatment is family-focused and results-oriented. We nurture teens’ physical, psychological, social, educational, and spiritual needs. Our mission is to empower teens and restore families by supporting them to build the self-understanding, connection, self-acceptance, and academic and life skills that allow them to find their place in the world.

Evolve Danville offers outpatient treatment for teens ages 12-17 who struggle with mental health, addiction, and/or behavioral issues. Our licensed, specialized staff utilize evidence-based treatments such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), individual and family therapy, multifamily groups, parent support groups, psychiatry, daily group sessions and psychoeducation. Many of our adolescents struggle with emotion dysregulation and may display high-risk or self-harming behaviors. DBT is research-proven to help reduce these issues. Through DBT, we teach our patients the skills needed for distress tolerance, improved impulse control, emotion regulation, and effective communication. Teens also receive daily academic support and participate in experiential therapies such as music, art, mindfulness, yoga, and hiking. Additionally, we integrate addiction recovery modalities such as Relapse Prevention, DBT for Substance Abuse, SMART Recovery, and 12-Step support programs. We pride ourselves on creating a safe, positive, and structured environment where clients learn the skills necessary for sustainable recovery.

At Evolve Treatment Centers, we provide the highest caliber of evidence-based residential treatment for adolescents 12-17 struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, self-harming or high-risk behaviors, suicidality, aggression, defiance, trauma, and other emotional/behavioral issues. Our primary modes of treatment are Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. At Evolve Walnut Creek, we believe treatment works best when it is individually tailored. Our clinical staff conducts a comprehensive evaluation of each 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 at least 5 times a week; weekly psychiatry; groups on DBT Skills Training, Anger Management, Relapse Prevention, and Seeking Safety; and daily academic support. (Families from out-of-state participate in family therapy remotely.) Teens also participate in experiential therapies (e.g. equine, music, art, fitness, yoga, hiking, and meditation) as well as 12-Step/SMART Recovery programs for those struggling with dual diagnoses.
