Evolve Teen Treatment Center

At Evolve Calabasas, teens ages 12–17 receive residential treatment for mental health, substance use, and behavioral challenges in a safe, nurturing environment where they can focus on emotional growth. Located in the peaceful Monte Nido neighborhood of Calabasas, the 5,102-square-foot home serves up to 6 clients at a time with 24/7 supervision, psychiatric and nursing support, family involvement, and experiential activities, giving teens a place where hope can evolve.

Shape Care Around Each Teen’s Needs

Each teen’s care plan is built around their symptoms, strengths, safety needs, and family dynamics. Evolve combines psychiatry with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing (MI), mindfulness practices, family therapy, and frequent group work. Teens also take part in experiential therapies and activities like equine therapy, art, psychodrama, surfing, yoga, hiking, and weekly outings for active skill-building.

Give Teens Room to Rest, Learn, and Reset

Teens stay in a spacious home surrounded by the Santa Monica Mountains, giving them room to settle outside dense city surroundings. Comfortable bedrooms, chef-prepared meals, a gated pool, an indoor gym for fitness groups and yoga, and a big backyard for outdoor groups and dining help daily life feel structured but restorative. A school room with computers gives teens a place to keep up academically.

Prepare for the Next Step

Aftercare planning begins before teens leave residential treatment, helping families understand the next level of support and how to maintain progress at home. Depending on clinical fit, teens may step down to partial hospitalization programs (PHP), an after-school intensive outpatient program, outpatient therapy, or virtual care in California. The goal is a transition that feels planned, supported, realistic, and easier to continue.
