About Paradigm Teen & Young Adults Treatment
Paradigm Treatment in Malibu, California treats mental health disorders and addiction in teens and young adults. They take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to treatment, going beyond addiction and its symptoms to heal the mental health conditions lying behind. Paradigm focuses on treating mental health disorders with strengths-based treatment, empowering teens and young adults rather than shaming or changing them. They seek to instill lasting confidence, happiness, and a drive for success in each client.
Paradigm’s prized Malibu location makes them a resort-like experience for teens and young adults, all while providing the clinical and therapeutic skills they need to recover. Paradigm is just blocks away from the beach, allowing for beach excursions and sandy strolls. Private rooms offer a space of reflection and relaxation, and with only 6 clients allowed at a time, care at Paradigm is wholly intimate and personal. The staff at Paradigm Treatment are both accredited and dedicated, walking teens and young adults through mental disorders and addictions with a caring, compassionate, and professional hand.
Paradigm Treatment notably provides 5-6 individual therapy sessions per week, plus regular group and family sessions. Their 30-90 day program gives clients ample time to heal before returning to life outside of residential treatment. To combine and balance healing and fun, Paradigm also offers plentiful on and off-site activities, like swimming, surfing, horseback riding, a hot tub, and much more. Academic collaboration may also be used during the school year. Paradigm Treatment has an on-site teacher to help teens through schoolwork and to guide them towards academic success. They set aside 3 hours for school, 5 days a week.
Clients at Paradigm enjoy a memorable spread of amenities and specializations. Individualized and strengths-based treatment gives each teen or young adult the best chance for success, empowering them to keep choosing recovery and strive towards healing. Paradigm gets to the root cause of mental health disorders and addiction, first beginning with thorough psychological, biological, and nutritional assessments. Clients and their families retain access to aftercare services for 3 years after treatment, allowing for healing and recovery to fully integrate into the minds and lives of those in treatment.

Paradigm tracks the progress of clients from admissions through 1 year post-treatment. In the study, Paradigm found that depression and anxiety levels decreased from severe to mild. Stress levels reduced from severe to moderate. These 3rd party studies prove the success of their services in a real, observable way.
Paradigm’s 30-90 day residential treatment program provides highly individualized, methodical, and strategic care for every client in their program. They recognize that no two individuals are the same, and as such, the therapeutic modalities they use are dynamic, evidence-based, and diverse. This allows Paradigm to balance the need for tailored treatment while also using proven, results-driven approaches.
Paradigm Treatment serves teens (12-17) and young adults (18-26) who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, self-harm, suicidality, dual-diagnoses, and anger management issues. Separating based on age allows for the most applicable and comprehensive treatment, also ensuring that each group is surrounded by relatable peers.
One of Paradigm’s most successful therapy activities is memoir writing. In this exercise, teens write a narrative account of their life, allowing them to work through past events and set up a future for themselves. Designated school time and a classroom environment keep teens motivated through the academic component of their treatment, setting them up for greater success in and out of school.

We lost one of our sons to suicide, which nearly destroyed his twin brother and our family. The loving and knowledgeable staff took in our shattered son and began the process of helping him want to live again. [They] extended the same love, support and education to our family, and we are now finally moving forward with hope. There is no doubt that Paradigm saved our son and our family.
