OUR MISSION & PURPOSE
We provide adolescents with a safe haven for recovery, growth and healing. Many teenagers find settings at home and at school stressful, pressure-filled and overwhelming. This can result in depression, drug or substance abuse, eating disorders, and other self-destructive behaviors. As a parent, it can be hard to know where to turn for help. Our mission is to provide the best possible treatment for your son or daughter. Our clinical trained staff treats the whole person by using customized, tailored strategies. Because our focus is exceptional care, we keep our census small. This allows our team of clinical experts to provide the time and attention necessary to create a treatment plan specific to each patient’s needs. Each teen works with licensed therapists with a variety of backgrounds, providing a tailored, evidence-based approach to recovery.

WHY CHOOSE POLARIS?
OUR APPROACH
Our experience, personalized attention, and evidence-based treatments are what distinguishes our organization as one of the best residential treatment centers for teenagers. Our staff has dedicated their lives to treating troubled teens. We take an individualized approach to treatment that includes a variety of proven modalities.
SAFE SETTING
Feeling comfortable and safe are absolutely essential to a successful recovery. The approach was to create an environment that was both peaceful and private, yet central enough to Los Angeles, with access to the best clinicians and recreational activities that our teens so enjoy. We provide need-adapted treatment that is detached from the stigma of mental healthcare.
TOOLS FOR LIFE
One of the reasons the teenage years are particularly difficult is because they are a challenging transition between childhood and adulthood. Because we specialize in addressing the specific needs of adolescents, we know what it takes to help them overcome the challenges they are facing, and prepare them to thrive as adults.
“I am extremely grateful for the tools I learned through the Polaris treatment program and all the time I spent there. ”
