Mental health and behavioral disorders include anxiety, depression, self-harm or suicidal ideation, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or trauma, bi-polar and other mood disorders, gender dysphoria, disordered eating, borderline and other personality disorders, mood or behavioral dysregulation, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), and psychosis.

Their dual-diagnosis treatment facility is also capable of treating those struggling with co-occurring mental health and substance abuse disorders. They also offer treatment to teens who are diagnosed with high-functioning autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who have a co-occurring substance abuse or mental health disorder.
Experiential Therapy
In addition to evidence-based methods, the clinician-led treatment methods at Evolve include a range of experiential therapies. Experiential therapies combined with mindfulness practices can help teens explore new ways to express themselves while practicing those skills and increasing self-awareness. Therapeutic activities may include equine therapy, art therapy, psychodrama, surf therapy, and nature therapy practices such as hiking. Weekly yoga sessions and physical activity in fitness centers are also offered at Evolve.
Clients can also participate in weekly social outings that include trips to the beach, movies, hiking trails, miniature golfing, and museums, used to model how to experience the world and serve as a special bonus for hard work and achievements.
Evidence-Based Care
The compassionate and professional clinical team at Evolve lead evidence-based therapies for clients and their families through individual, group, and family therapy sessions. Specializing in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Evolve goes to great lengths to ensure their programs adhere to the structures and philosophies of DBT, with clients participating in 4 DBT skills groups per week. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is also used as an effective treatment for depression, anxiety, substance use, and eating disorders, assisting clients in changing unhelpful thought patterns. Motivational interviewing (MI) is used to meet clients where they are currently, and help identify personal goals and priorities in life and find their personal motivation to make behavioral changes. Mindfulness is another evidence-based technique that is incorporated into all areas of treatment, used to assist teens in being mindful of the present moment and reach acceptance without judgment, replacing mindlessness with awareness.
Other treatment methods used for substance abuse and co-occurring disorders include seeking safety, relapse prevention, anger management, meditation, and life skills.
