How we treat
How adolescent and family-informed care fits your recovery plan
Teens and adolescents abuse drugs and/or alcohol for various reasons, ranging from peer pressure and showing independence, to overcoming depression or anxiety. The risk of your teen becoming an addict can substantially go up if there are factors such as a family history of addiction, mental issues or disorders, childhood trauma, or problems at school.
We have a team of caring professionals at OC Revive who understand the complexities of how your teen might be experiencing co-occuring disorders due to addiction and mental health factors. We offer treatment services specifically for teens to overcome their addiction, so that the family can heal as a whole.

Clinical toolkit
How treatment shows up in programming
Clinical and experiential work woven through the program day—skills you practice in session and take home each evening.
- 01
DBT & CBT
Evidence-based frameworks for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and cognitive restructuring—practical skills you can use the same day, not only in session.
- Identify triggers and unhelpful thought patterns
- Build distress-tolerance tools for cravings and conflict
- Practice skills in group and individual settings
- 02
Art & music therapy
Creative modalities when talk therapy is not enough. Expressing through art and music can lower anxiety, surface trauma safely, and open processing that words block.
- Nonverbal expression for hard-to-name feelings
- Reduce anxiety through structured creative work
- Integrated with clinical goals—not free-time only
- 03
Yoga & meditation
Body-based regulation so recovery lives in the nervous system. Grounding, breath, and mindful movement help you stay present when stress spikes outside program hours.
- Breathwork and grounding for acute stress
- Gentle movement to reconnect body and mind
- Skills that travel home with you
- 04
Group & peer support
Process groups and peer connection so you practice recovery with people who understand. Isolation fuels use; community builds accountability and hope.
- Clinical process groups led by licensed staff
- Peer connection without judgment
- Practice social skills in a safe setting
- 05
Individual clinical work
One-to-one time with clinicians who track mood, substance use, and behavior on a plan built for you—not a one-size curriculum delivered on autopilot.
- Personalized treatment planning and check-ins
- Space for dual-diagnosis and trauma themes
- Clear goals between sessions
- 06
Life skills & accountability
Time management, communication, stress tools, and relapse prevention so hours outside program still support recovery—especially for dual-diagnosis needs.
- Relapse-prevention planning you can follow
- Structure that fits work, school, and family
- Skills for relationships and daily life

We have a team of caring professionals at OC Revive who understand the complexities of how your teen might be experiencing co-occuring disorders due to addiction and mental health factors.

Our Approach
We have a team of psychologists, family therapists, addiction counselors, tutors and direct care staff, who have the combined expertise to treat both mental health and addiction issues to create custom treatment plans specific to your individual and family needs.
Our comprehensive treatment modalities include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help your teen address challenges and develop coping mechanisms. We also use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach skills that can help change unhealthy behaviors and create positive behaviors.
Individual And Group Therapy Sessions
Because each teen has their own specific needs for treatment, our psychologists and therapists meet with them in one-on-one settings to perform clinical assessments, and then to prescribe an individualized treatment plan that combines various modalities suited to your teen.
Group Therapy sessions help your teen develop or improve social skills, build healthy relationships, and learn to support each other while they heal together.
Our Experiential Treatment Services
In addition to our primary treatment services, we make use of several support specialty programs such as Adventure Therapy, Music Therapy, Art Therapy, and several others, including assistance with schooling.
Adventure based therapy is particularly effective on teens and can show significant improvement in your teen’s mindset, social skills and self-esteem.
Accountability And Self-Awareness
Our treatment program for teens creates a comfortable environment that allows them to learn to trust and respect others, while building personal accountability and camaraderie with other teens. We provide many opportunities for them to learn and enjoy engaging with various aspects of life, including school, relationships, mental health issues, and developing self- awareness and self-confidence. In addition, we offer a high level of accountability with drug testing, so you can be confident that your teen is in safe hands with us.
Treatment Is The Beginning Of The Solution
At OC Revive, we offer an integrated approach to treating co-occuring disorders due to addiction and mental health issues, that can help restore your teen to being a healthy young adult. Our treatments are tailored to not only heal, but to overcome the stigma attached to it, and to create a strong foundation for your teen to learn life skills.
With an emphasis on compassion, understanding and positive reinforcements, we create a nurturing space that allows acceptance and inclusion. When you’re ready, we’re here to help!
