Teen Residential Treatment For Brentwood, California Residents
Brentwood families, we understand how tough it is when your teen faces mental health or substance use issues. But you’re not alone. Since 2015, Key Healthcare (licensed by California’s DHCS) has been here to support. Our teen residential treatment program is designed to offer individualized care that addresses both mental health issues and substance use through our dual diagnosis approach.
Teens in our care benefit from evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which are highly effective in helping them manage emotional stress, develop coping strategies, and build healthier thought patterns.
Our 45-60 days program focuses on giving teens the tools they need to navigate life’s challenges while fostering emotional and personal growth. By combining these therapies with activities designed to develop critical life skills, we empower teens to regain control of their mental health and build a foundation for lasting recovery.
To further support families and teens in Brentwood, we provide access to a range of local resources, including:
- Local therapists and counselors in Brentwood for ongoing emotional support after treatment
- Information on local support groups to provide a continued support network for teens and families
- Guidance on navigating insurance coverage for mental health and substance use treatment
- Details about Brentwood’s recreational programs, parks, and community activities for ongoing engagement
- School counseling services and educational resources to ensure academic success post-treatment
At Key Healthcare, we believe in providing teens with the tools and support they need for a healthier future. We ensure that the skills they develop during our residential treatment program continue to benefit them long after they leave our care.

What to Expect During Our Brentwood Teen Residential Treatment Program
As a parent, knowing what to expect during a teen residential treatment program can help ease your apprehension and make it easier to support your teen through the same feelings. But how?
- It all starts with us providing you with clear details about the program, treatment philosophies, and admission process.
- From initial orientation, we move toward the assessment and pre-admission stage.
- This is where we thoroughly evaluate your teen’s medical history and cultural background and conduct psychological tests to understand their mental health and behavior.
- As a parent, you are a key part of this process, sharing insights about your teen’s struggles.
- The results of this assessment will help us create the best treatment plan for your teen.
- Once your teen is accepted, the admission process begins. Here, we will guide you through all the steps—paperwork, finances, and logistics.
- Our Brentwood teen residential treatment program will be customized based on the teen’s specific needs, the condition they’re treated for (mental illness or substance use), and how often or intensely symptoms appear.
However, during their stay with us, here’s a list of common therapies your teen will participate in.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Teens will have an individual therapy session with a skilled counselor every week. Where they'll be able to analyze their emotions, gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors, and how they can break their negative thinking pattern.
GROUP THERAPY
Group therapy is a core component of our treatment program. During these sessions, teens can share their experiences and learn from their peers in a safe and supportive environment.
HOLISTIC AND RECREATION THERAPIES
We don't just rely on conventional treatment. We take it a step further by offering a mix of holistic therapies like yoga, art therapy, surf therapy, hiking, and music therapy. These activities are specially designed to help teens manage their stress, find a sense of self, build confidence, and uncover new passions.
NUTRITION AND EXERCISE
We integrate the essentials of nutrition and physical activity into each day. With daily access to 3 nutritional meals, healthy snacks, and exercise resources, we ensure every aspect of a teen's health is nurtured. It's about empowering them to take steps toward lasting wellness.
FAMILY CENTERED TREATMENT
The family plays a crucial role in our residential treatment program. Our experienced therapists help families address communication issues between their teens, build healthy boundaries, and learn new ways to cope. These steps are crucial in supporting their teen's long-term recovery.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
We know how challenging it can be for teens to keep up with academics while they're in our program. That's why, through Mission Academy School, we offer curriculum and credit recovery so that no schoolwork progress is lost. Our caring staff is there to help support your child's studies while they're healing.

Brentwood Teen Therapists & Counselors
At Key Healthcare, we focus on helping teens build healthy behavioral patterns during treatment, which are crucial for long-term success. By working through issues related to impulsive decision-making or negative behavioral tendencies, teens learn how to control their actions and make healthier choices. However, continued support is often needed after the residential program to maintain these positive behaviors.
This is where local therapists & counselors in Brentwood play a critical role. These licensed professionals provide ongoing guidance to teens, helping them continue the behavioral improvements they made during their time with us.
By reinforcing the healthy behaviors and decision-making skills developed at Key Healthcare, local therapists ensure teens stay on a steady path to recovery, reducing the risk of relapse and supporting their emotional well-being.

High School Counseling Resources for Brentwood Teens
At Key Healthcare, we emphasize adaptive learning strategies that help teens regain focus and structure in their academic lives. During treatment, teens learn how to adapt to different learning environments, manage academic stress, and stay organized with their schoolwork.
This sets them up for success once they return to their educational routines. However, to ensure that these strategies are applied effectively, ongoing academic support is important.
That’s why we have compiled a list of local academic counselors in Brentwood who help teens transition back to school by continuing to work on the adaptive learning strategies they developed during treatment.
These counselors help teens manage academic responsibilities while maintaining emotional balance, ensuring that both their academic and personal growth stay aligned as they reintegrate into school life.
