BNI Treatment Centers Calabasas

Treatment Services

Behavioral Neuroscience Institute (BNI) is a doctor owned and operated treatment center that provides adolescents aged 12-17 and their families with addiction and mental health services using an array of different treatment programs and methods. Their highest level of care is their residential treatment program. If necessary, residential stays may begin with a safe and supervised detoxification program or acute stabilization. The detox program treats those in physical withdrawal from drugs or alcohol, while acute stabilization is for teens and families that require immediate intervention due to substance use or mental health conditions. The residential treatment program includes individual, family, and group therapy using methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), solutions focused therapy, and integrated body psychotherapy. Academic support is provided during treatment with on-site tutors and computer stations. Their holistic approach includes experiential therapies such as hiking, water sports, yoga, mindfulness, art and music therapy, and equine therapy, keeping teens fully engaged in their treatment.

The partial hospitalization program (PHP), or day treatment, is the highest level of outpatient care. PHP can be utilized as a step down program after a residential stay, or for those who need the intensive care that inpatient services provide while still remaining at home. Adolescents spend 2-3 weeks in day treatment while learning stress reduction techniques, emotional regulation, and coping skills while recovering from substance abuse or co-occurring mental health disorders. Similar to the residential program at BNI, academic support and different therapy styles are offered. A case manager is assigned to help coordinate treatment needs with a personalized treatment plan, appointment scheduling, overseeing medications, and discharge planning.

BNI offers outpatient services for teens and adolescents with mild to moderate mental health conditions. The program allows flexibility so that teens are able to continue attending school and residing at home throughout their treatment program. Their intensive outpatient program (IOP) is initially a 30 day program that provides one-on-one counseling, family and group therapy sessions, school support if needed, and case management services. BNI gives their patients a safe and supportive space while helping teens develop stress management, improving family dynamics, gaining new personal insight while receiving effective treatment for substance and mental health disorders.
