About Blume Behavioral Health - Boys Facility
In the coastal city of Torrance, California, this residential treatment center offers hope for teen boys ages 12-17 struggling with emotional, behavioral, or addiction challenges. With a commitment to real change, Blume provides gender-specific care in a close-knit 6-bed setting, which allows for individualized attention. In addition to a strong therapeutic program, they also offer mentorship, academic instruction, and they encourage parental involvement to round out their holistic treatment.
Find Meaningful Change beyond Traditional Therapy
Because every young mind is unique, the team of adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists work closely with teens and their families to provide top-tier clinical care with truly individualized support and attention for each client. While they rotate through a foundation of proven-effective therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), they tailor them and other holistic therapies to the client’s main concerns. More tactile and creative therapies are also used— like sand tray, equine, play, and adventure therapy. The team believes that meaningful change can happen when reconnecting with life’s fun and exciting moments.
Uncover the Rewards of a Focused Reset
At Blume, teens can immerse in a therapeutic community, free from distractions, where they can uncover the core issues affecting their lives through intensive therapy. By participating in life-altering individual and group therapy sessions they gain a better understanding of their strengths and areas that need growth. These rewards not only impact the present, but set them up for success in the future.
Explore Coastline to City
In the vibrant city of Torrance, the tight-knit 6-bed facility provides the perfect balance of privacy and community. With semi-private rooms, each teen boy has space to reflect and recharge. Beyond the comfortable amenities, the facility’s proximity to the coastline allows for surf outings and therapies that take advantage of both natural and urban beauty.

Understand Teens and Gain Insight into Their World
Blume Behavioral Health believes that the journey towards healing and growth encompasses not just the individual but their family as well. Recognizing the pivotal role that families play in the recovery and development of adolescents, they have meticulously crafted a Parental Support Program. This initiative is designed to equip parents with the understanding and skills necessary to constructively support their adolescents, fostering stronger, closer family bonds.
Master Life’s Everyday Decisions
Through engaging, practical lessons, teens learn how to communicate in ways that foster real connection, not just surface-level conversation. They gain confidence in making decisions, navigating challenges, and managing their time and money. The program also teaches emotional regulation by helping them understand and work with their emotions in a healthy way. At its core, the program is about helping teens become capable, compassionate people who show up for themselves and others.
Create a Turning Point through Meaningful Mentorship
The mentorship program gives teens something many are longing for—a genuine connection with someone who truly sees them. Each teen is thoughtfully matched with a mentor who understands their challenges and helps them navigate school, relationships, and emotions with curiosity instead of fear. For many, this kind of relationship can be a turning point, as it can reshape how a teen sees themselves and their future.
Don't Let Treatment Disrupt Education
Blume recognizes the diversity in learning styles and academic needs for students at different grade levels. Their program collaborates closely with each teen’s home school to support a seamless transition and maintain academic progress. For those not currently enrolled, they partner with an academic team to provide third-party educational services, offering continuity and the option to continue schooling at home if preferred. The goal is to empower teens to stay engaged with their education while prioritizing their overall well-being.
