Specialized Mental Health Treatment for Adolescents
At Evolve, we provide behavioral health treatment exclusively for teens ages 12–17.
We are one of the few providers in the country focused solely on teens, and that focus shows in the clinical expertise and compassion we bring to every client and family. Since 2014, we have helped thousands of adolescents struggling with mental health, substance use, and behavioral challenges achieve real, lasting change. Our outcomes studies confirm what families experience every day at Evolve: treatment works.
Why Specialized Teen Treatment Matters
Adolescence is a pivotal stage of life marked by rapid physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth. During these years, teens are forming their identity, developing new ways of thinking, and learning how to manage emotions and relationships. At the same time, many experiment with new behaviors and face intense pressure from peers and their environment.
These changes can make adolescents especially vulnerable to mental health struggles, substance use, and risky behaviors. While this stage can feel overwhelming, it is also a powerful window for healing and growth. With the right guidance, teens can build resilience, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills they need to thrive into adulthood.
That is why it is so important to choose a treatment center designed specifically for adolescents. At Evolve, we understand the developmental challenges teens face and provide the support they need to recover and move forward.
Care for Teens. It’s All We Do.
Every aspect of our residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs is built for one age group only: adolescents. From our evidence-based clinical model to our safe, home-like settings, Evolve is designed to meet teens where they are developmentally and emotionally.
Nearly half of the clients we treat are ages 15–16, the years when many teens face the most intense emotional, social, and academic pressures. At the same time, we are seeing more adolescents begin treatment at younger ages, reflecting the growing need for early intervention. Our clinical team specializes in teen treatment across the full spectrum of adolescent development, from 12-year-olds just entering their teen years to older adolescents navigating the challenges of high school and beyond.
With specialized expertise at every stage, we provide the structure, support, and individualized care teens need not only to stabilize but also to develop confidence, resilience, and lasting coping strategies for a healthier future.

Teens facing mental health challenges often feel alone, misunderstood, or judged. At Evolve, we work to change that by creating a safe, nurturing environment where your child can express themselves and be heard.
Our team of experienced clinicians provides individualized treatment that empowers teens with coping strategies, resilience, and the tools they need to move forward. We walk alongside families every step of the way—helping both parents and teens heal, grow, and look toward a brighter future.
