Encino Residential Treatment for Teens

Encino teens grow up with real advantages and real pressure: competitive schools, packed schedules, social media that never sleeps, and easy access to substances. When anxiety, depression, trauma, or substance use takes hold, that same environment can make recovery at home nearly impossible.

Our residential treatment program serves adolescents ages 12 to 18 facing depression, anxiety, trauma, behavioral disorders, substance use, and co-occurring conditions. Teens live at our Malibu facility with 24/7 support, daily therapy, and academics that keep them on track for reunification with school and home.

Distance from the Valley’s noise is part of the medicine, and it comes with a view. Our residence overlooks the Pacific, with a small-group, mostly unplugged environment where teens can finally hear themselves think. Families are welcome to tour our facility before making any decision.

The drive from Encino is simpler than most school runs. Take the 101 North to Las Virgenes Road, wind down Malibu Canyon to the coast, and you’re here in about 40 minutes. Close enough for family therapy every week, far enough that old patterns and pressures can’t follow.

Why Beachside Teen?

Families choose Beachside because the results and the standards are verifiable. We’re licensed by the California Department of Social Services, accredited by CARF, LegitScript certified, and rated 4.9 stars across more than 100 Google reviews from families and alumni.

Behind those credentials is a genuinely expert team, including psychiatrist Dr. Michael Louie, physician Dr. Shilpa Jindani, and Director of Education Mark Paladini, who brings 12 years of university-level teaching experience to keeping your teen academically on course. Care here is comprehensive rather than piecemeal, addressing your child’s emotional, physical, social, and educational needs in one coordinated program.

What Parents Can Expect

From your first call, you’ll know what’s happening every step of the way. Our admissions team verifies your insurance, answers your questions honestly, and guides you through the assessment that determines whether residential care is right for your teen. Read more about what parents can expect throughout treatment.

Once your teen is with us, you’re a partner rather than a spectator. You’ll receive regular progress updates, participate in weekly family therapy, and work with our team on a reunification plan, because the goal from day one is bringing your family back together stronger.

How We Help Your Teen

Every teen arrives with a story, so treatment starts with a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation to understand exactly what’s driving their struggles. From there, our clinicians build an individualized plan combining daily therapeutic work, psychiatric care, and structured routines that restore healthy sleep, nutrition, and habits.

School continues too. Our Therapeutic Education Program keeps teens current with their Encino-area schools so treatment strengthens their future instead of pausing it, and aftercare planning begins well before discharge.

Therapies Offered in Our Teen Treatment Programs

Healing happens through more than talk, and our therapy menu takes full advantage of who teens are and where we sit on the coast.

Our therapies include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy: Reshaping the thought patterns behind anxiety, depression, and destructive choices.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy: Skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and healthier relationships.
EMDR Therapy: Evidence-based trauma processing for teens carrying painful experiences.
Family Therapy: Weekly sessions that heal the whole system your teen returns to.
Group Therapy: Connection and accountability with peers who understand.
Surf Therapy and Outdoor Therapy: The Pacific as a therapeutic tool, building confidence, presence, and joy.
Equine Therapy: Emotional awareness and trust built through work with horses.
Art Therapy and Expressive Therapy: Creative outlets for feelings teens can’t yet put into words.

How Long Does Treatment Near Encino Last?

Most teens stay with us between 30 and 90 days, with length of stay determined by clinical need rather than a fixed calendar. Our program is built around a 90-day standard for lasting change, because meaningful transformation takes time to practice, not just understand.

Your teen’s care team reviews progress continuously and keeps you informed, so length of stay is always a decision made together, based on how your child is actually doing.

How Much Does Teen Residential Treatment Cost?

Cost depends on your insurance coverage and your teen’s length of stay, and it’s almost always less than parents fear. We work with most major insurance providers, including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, United Healthcare, UMR, Humana, Magellan, GEHA, and MultiPlan, and mental health treatment is an essential health benefit under the Affordable Care Act.

The fastest way to a real number is our free, confidential insurance verification. Our admissions team will check your exact benefits and explain your options before you make any commitment.

How Can Treatment Help My Teen?

Residential treatment interrupts the spiral. Away from the triggers of daily life, with round-the-clock support and a consistent therapeutic structure, teens stabilize in ways that surprise their parents, often within the first weeks. From that stability, the deeper work begins. Understanding what drives their struggles, building real coping skills, and rediscovering who they are underneath the crisis.

Teens leave Beachside with tools they’ll use for life, and families leave with communication skills, understanding, and a concrete aftercare plan. Our alumni families say it best in their own reviews.

Safety & Our Priorities

Your teen’s safety is the foundation everything else stands on. Our facility is licensed by the California Department of Social Services and staffed around the clock by trained professionals, with medical and psychiatric oversight from our on-team physicians. Small group sizes mean every teen is genuinely known, never lost in a crowd.

Emotional safety gets equal weight. Beachside is a judgment-free environment where teens of every background and identity are respected and supported, because no one heals in a place where they have to hide.
