Teen Mental Health Treatment
Evolve offers mental health treatment for teens of all genders, providing the individualized care needed to make real change.
Adolescence is one of the most vulnerable stages for developing mental health challenges. National research collected by the National Survey of Children’s Health (NSCH), shows that nearly 1 in 5 teens lives with a diagnosable mental health disorder. Rates of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts among adolescents have risen significantly in recent years, leaving many families feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to turn. At Evolve, we recognize how urgent and widespread these issues are, and we specialize in providing evidence-based care tailored specifically to teens.

Teen Substance Use & Addiction Treatment
Evidence-based treatment for teens, addressing co-occurring mental health needs and teaching coping skills for relapse prevention.
Adolescence is often the stage when substance use first begins, sometimes as casual experimentation but quickly escalating into more serious problems. Early use greatly increases the risk of addiction and long-term mental health struggles. What may start as occasional use can quickly turn into secrecy, withdrawal, risky behaviors, or declining school and family relationships. At Evolve, we treat not only the substance use itself but also the underlying emotional pain, stress, and mental health challenges that often drive it. Our approach helps teens build healthier coping skills and a foundation for lasting recovery.
Common Substances Teens Struggle With
- Alcohol
- Cannabis
- Tobacco (Vaping)
- Inhalants
- Opioids
- Amphetamines & Stimulants
- Hallucinogens (LSD, DMT, Ecstasy/MDMA)
- Benzodiazepines (ex: Xanax)
Dual Diagnosis Treatment for Teens
Evolve is a true dual diagnosis treatment center, meaning we treat both mental health and substance use disorders at the same time. While not every teen at Evolve struggles with substance use, about half do. Research shows these conditions often occur together, with mental health challenges frequently preceding the problematic use of drugs or alcohol.
How Is Dual Diagnosis Treatment Different?
At many programs, one condition is prioritized while the other is only managed. At Evolve, we address both simultaneously. This integrated approach gives teens the best chance for lasting recovery and reduces the risk of relapse, helping them build the skills and resilience needed to thrive in every area of their lives.
