About BNI Treatment Centers
Designed specifically for adolescents, BNI Treatment Centers offers compassionate, psychiatrist-led care in a home-like setting. As a primary mental health facility with the ability to provide medical detox and handle medically-acute cases when needed, BNI provides a higher level of care than many teen programs. Their team treats a wide range of diagnoses, from anxiety, depression, and trauma to bipolar disorder and co-occurring disorders.
At BNI Treatment Centers, they don’t just react to behaviors; they ask what’s underneath them. Every outburst, shutdown, or self-sabatoging choice is a signal of something deeper. With two board-certified psychiatrists who personally oversee each client’s care, they look beyond the surface. Behaviors are often a teen’s best attempt at coping, and they treat them with compassion. With a blend of behavioral neuroscience, evidence-based therapies, and holistic support, they help teens understand themselves and step into their lives with greater clarity.
At BNI’s Agoura Hills locations, teens reside in semi-private or private rooms, and housing is intentionally separated for mental health and substance use clients to provide the most supportive environment possible. With a pool, jacuzzi, and chef-prepared meals, plus housekeeping every other day, the focus stays on recovery, not daily stress.
From the very beginning of treatment, the Director of Outreach helps families feel connected and cared for—and that commitment continues long after discharge. Aftercare at BNI helps teens transition back into daily life with confidence. Whether through ongoing therapy, academic reintegration, or relapse prevention planning, families receive the right tools and resources they’ll need for continued recovery.

At BNI Treatment Centers, no two days are alike, but everyday is purposefully structured to support growth. From morning mindfulness and emotional regulation to academic support, art therapy, DBT skills, surf therapy and even equine-assisted therapy, each activity is grounded in therapeutic intention. Teens learn to manage distress and express themselves while engaging in fun, restorative activities.
Stepping away from school to focus on mental health is a brave and necessary choice—but it shouldn’t come at the cost of a teen’s education. BNI has built a strong academic support system into their residential treatment program. While teens focus on healing, the team works closely with schools, parents, and academic counselors so students stay engaged with their studies and don’t fall behind.
When a teen struggles, the whole family feels it. And at BNI Treatment Centers, they don’t just allow family involvement, they require it. Through weekly individual family sessions, 3-5 weekly parent coaching calls, and bi-weekly process and education groups, families receive guidance and insight. With support from their dedicated liaison, they are empowered to take an active role in their teen’s recovery.
When mental health and substance use disorders collide, healing gets more complicated, but not impossible. Whether the substance use developed as a way to soothe anxiety or the addiction triggered emotional struggles, the team understands how interconnected these struggles are. From detox through therapy and continuing care, they create a clear path forward for teens to heal.
