Addiction Treatment Programs at Beachside Teen Treatment Center
Treatment typically begins with residential inpatient care, a 24/7 structured environment where teens receive round the clock support, psychiatric care and integrated dual diagnosis treatment. Adolescents then step down to PHP or IOP for continued therapeutic engagement while reintegrating into school and home life, with aftercare services supporting long term success. They don’t have detox here directly but they can help with referrals.
Clients participate in individual, group and family therapy using evidence based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), psychodynamic therapy and interpersonal therapy. The program also incorporates experiential therapies such as equine therapy, surf therapy, outdoor therapy and expressive arts to help teens build coping skills, confidence and emotional regulation in a mostly unplugged environment.

Levels of Care

In outpatient therapy, you’ll attend therapy sessions several times each week while living at home. This is ideal if you have a strong support system and a lower risk of relapse. Outpatient treatment offers flexibility to maintain work, school or family obligations.

This gives you a network of resources as you reintegrate into your daily life.
