Testimonial
We lost one of our sons to suicide, which nearly destroyed his twin brother and our family. The loving and knowledgeable staff at Paradigm took in our shattered son and began the process of helping him want to live again. [They] extended the same love, support and education to our family, and we are now finally moving forward with hope. There is no doubt that Paradigm saved our son and our family.

Loved One of a Former Client

Sugar Land, Texas

Co-Occurring Disorders
Anxiety
Depression
OCD
My 13 year old daughter went to Paradigm in Austin after completing nearly 2 weeks inpatient. Paradigm was a game-changer for our family. Everyone there was so compassionate and treated the "clients" nicely. We kept calling them kids and the staff kept referring to them as clients. The staff there, especially the CN's, went above and beyond the call of duty. Our daughter told us that they would sometimes bring in beauty supplies (face masks, nail polish, etc.) and have a beauty/spa night with the girls. They also went on various field trips (an equine center, the movies twice, and Altitude trampoline place) in the 30 days that she was there. We had weekly family therapy sessions through Zoom and drove the 2.5 hours from South Houston to visit her every Saturday. On Saturday, the parents attend a 1 hour therapy/learning session at 10 AM, followed by a provided lunch with the kiddos, then a family/group session from noon-1. After that, we have 1-4 PM to walk around the beautiful grounds to spend time with our daughter. We brought baseball gloves and card games to pass the time. We were able to move around throughout the main house (not in the bedrooms) and really spend time together as a family. Our daughter is now in PHP, following Paradigm treatment, and will eventually move to IOP. We are continuing this step-down ladder process to lessen our chance of ending up in crisis again. We chose Paradigm because we wanted our daughter to get help in a home-like enviro.

We love hearing about your treatment experience
