<p><strong>ABOUT EVOLVE TREATMENT CENTERS OJAI</strong></p> <p>Evolve Ojai is one of six Evolve Treatment Centers locations, all of which provide <strong>behavioral health treatments for adolescents ages 12 to 17</strong> needing treatment for substance abuse, mental health disorders, or behavioral health concerns. Located 15 miles from the Pacific Ocean and forty minutes from Santa Barbara, the Ojai, Calif. facility operates <strong>a small residential treatment program</strong> with 24/7 support and supervision. Detox is not available at this facility.</p> <p><strong>TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT</strong></p> <p>The admissions process begins a three-step process, starting with a pre-screening. Intake specialists ask a series of questions to pre-qualify the teen for the program. During the admission process, <strong>clients complete a thorough assessment</strong> that evaluates the client’s medical, treatment, symptom, academic, and hospital histories. Once approved for enrollment, the staff works with clients to develop an <strong>individualized recovery plan</strong> designed to meet their specific needs.</p> <p>The treatment process uses several <strong>evidence-based approaches</strong>, as well as holistic and experiential therapies. The center offers cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), <a href="http://www.centerforautism.com/aba-therapy.aspx" target="_blank">applied behavioral analysis (ABA)</a>, and <strong>mindfulness-based approaches.</strong> Participation in <strong>12-step fellowship</strong> is also an important part of the treatment process. </p> <p>The goal of the treatment program is to help adolescents <strong>develop coping skills</strong>, learn about themselves, and build relationships. Treatment at Evolve Ojai makes use of <strong>individual and group therapy</strong>, as well as family therapy as needed. </p> <p>Teens participate in several group sessions per day which can include group DBT, <strong>multi-family support group, process groups,</strong> and a commitment group which focuses on a specific recovery topic. <strong>Parenting groups</strong> are available for families.</p> <p>In addition to traditional therapies, clients may also participate in equine therapy, yoga, mindful cooking, mindful walking, and meditation, along with <strong>music, art, and dance therapies</strong>.</p> <p><strong>STAFF CREDENTIALS</strong></p> <p>The treatment staff at Evolve Ojai includes an affiliated psychiatrist, several licensed marriage and family therapists, and a masters-level social worker. Evolve is accredited by the Joint Commission, placing it among <a href="https://www.samhsa.gov/data/sites/default/files/2016_NSSATS.pdf" target="_blank">19% of U.S. facilities</a> with the accreditation.</p> <p><strong>ACCOMMODATIONS & AMENITIES</strong></p> <p>The small residential center is set in a peaceful, private setting and has <strong>a capacity of six residents</strong> who sleep in shared rooms.

The center also works on an out-of-network basis with Cigna, Aetna, United Healthcare, and others. For clients that have insurance that will not cover treatment, Evolve can help negotiate a one-time coverage agreement with insurance companies. </p> <p><strong>CONCLUSION</strong></p> <p>Evolve uses social media extensively to promote awareness and treatment options for mental illness, especially among teens and adolescents. Many of its posts revolve around the growing mental and behavioral illness epidemic across the country.</p> <p><small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-1"><sup>[1]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pg/Evolvetreatment/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.facebook.com/pg/Evolvetreatment/reviews</a></small><br /> <small class="footnote"><a target="_blank" href="#footnote-2"><sup>[2]</sup></a> <a href="https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Evolve-Treatment-Center/reviews" target="_blank">https://www.indeed.com/cmp/Evolve-Treatment-Center/reviews</a></small></p>
