Teen Extended Care and Sober Living Facility in Los Angeles
If you are the parent of a teenage boy who is struggling with their mental health, or dual diagnosis substance abuse, then our extended care program may be right for your child. Our male-only extended care program is a combination of our partial hospitalization program and sober living. Through our extended care program, your teenager will have access to the 24/7 support needed to achieve long-term recovery from their condition.
About Teen Extended Care
What is Teen Extended Care?
Our male-only teen extended care program is designed to help your teen aged 14-17 build skills, and get the support needed for a successful recovery. By having teens attend mental health and dual diagnosis addiction treatment during the day, and return to a sober living facility at night, they are more likely to stick to their recovery. This is why our full-time teen extended care program effectively reduces the risk of relapse in the long-term.
Please note: While many of our patients enter our extended care program after completing teen residential program, it’s not a requirement to enroll.
Teen Sober Living
At our teen sober living facility, we provide a stable and structured home environment for teens to stay in each night. We believe that having a community of positive peers who are also in recovery can be of great benefit to teens during this stage. Our staff of addiction counselors, therapists, and certified peer educators will also work with your teen on a daily basis to support their recovery progress.
Teenage Extended Care Goals
Goals of Teen Extended Care
The focus of our teen extended care treatment is to help teenage boys develop the skills needed to achieve their goals, and live a healthy lifestyle. We will work with your child on an individual basis, addressing their unique needs during day-time treatment and then giving them the opportunity to apply their learnings at night.
Passion Development
We believe that our teen extended care program is more than just a place to stay; it’s a place to grow. All of the activities, resources, and support available in our program will be used to help teens find purpose and passion to reduce the risk of relapse.
Increased Independence
Through our extended care program, teens will explore self-sufficiency, gain independence, and learn the skills needed to live on their own. This includes things like cooking, cleaning, and time management.
Improved Problem-Solving
Teens in our extended care program will take part in problem-solving and decision making activities that will help them make healthier choices in the future. This feeling of empowerment will also help to grow the self-esteem of your teen.
Relationship Building
Teens in our program will take part in group sessions and activities that focus on building healthy relationships with peers and adults. Our goal is that patients feel they play a major role in creating a safe and supportive community that promotes self-love and personal growth.

Our teen extended care program is designed with the individual needs of each patient in mind. Treatment may include a combination of group, family and individual therapy, along with recreational activities, 12-step meetings and life skills development.

Teens will follow a schedule on weekdays and weekends to ensure they establish a healthy routine in the early stages of their recovery. Here are some of the things your teen can expect during their stay with us:
DAILY MEALS
Three healthy meals will be provided for teens each day. We incorporate foods that are not only nutritious but also that support recovery and brain development.

Teens in our program will have access to a variety of recreational activities during the week and on the weekend such as rock climbing, surfing, volunteering, bowling, movie nights, and more.
LIFE SKILLS GROUPS
Teens will have the opportunity to participate in a wide range of life skills groups that focus on topics such as anger management, impulse control, relationships, values and principles, and budgeting.
ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Teens will also have access to academic support to help them stay on track with their studies. School curriculum and credit recovery are completed through Mission Academy School.
OUTPATIENT THERAPY
Teens will attend individual, group, and family therapy sessions at our outpatient treatment center. All of our therapists are licensed and we provide a variety of evidence-based therapies.
CHORES
Teens will take part in daily chores and activities that help teach them accountability and responsibility. This includes things like laundry, meal prep and cooking, and cleaning.
12-STEP MEETINGS
All patients will attend teen 12-step meetings (both AA and NA) with a supportive peer group to help them stay on track with their recovery. Teens will attend these meetings daily.
