Visions Treatment Centers Santa Monica

Family involvement is central at Visions Treatment Centers Santa Monica. Since 2002, the founders have built the program around the idea that parents and caregivers should be part of the process from day one. The center works with adolescents facing mental health challenges and co-occurring disorders. Many of the original clinicians are still on staff, and the team has grown as the program has expanded. Because adolescents are still developing emotionally and environmentally, treatment plans are structured differently than they would be for adults.

Each teen receives a holistic approach supported by psychological and diagnostic assessments. The goal is to let those assessments guide care for each person. Visions holds Joint Commission accreditation and is affiliated with the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). If you are looking for treatment in Los Angeles that includes accredited adolescent care, Visions is one option to consider, though we encourage you to verify details directly with the center.

The center also has locations in Malibu, Thousand Oaks, and Santa Monica. The Santa Monica site is a six-bed, 2,600-square-foot home designed for extended living after teens finish their program. Parents and teens can tour the facilities and learn about dual diagnosis and teen mental health services. If you want to see how a residential program for teens in Los Angeles fits your family, touring can help you decide.
