Their Vista location specializes in treatment for adolescent females, and individuals identifying as non-binary between the ages of 11-17, offering personally tailored residential care in a nurturing and supportive environment. Discovery Mood offers a diverse range of evidence-based care through regular individual, group, and family therapy sessions, with teens participating in a structured schedule of 5-6 hours of treatment per day. Their individualized programs integrate education, providing academic support with liaisons or tutors, available to supervise and support teens with schooling. Additionally, treatment at Discovery combines strong family involvement with life skills, experiential activities, and medication management services from board-certified psychiatrists. Teens may participate in experiential therapies including gardening, art, yoga and more, fostering emotional regulation and awareness. Their Vista home-like residential location specializes in treating individuals experiencing primary mental health conditions such as reactive attachment disorder (RAD), trauma, anxiety disorders, self-harm, bipolar disorder, and depression. With a focus on family reintegration, clients and families at Discovery receive comprehensive support and educational services combined with weekly family homework assignments and therapy sessions. In addition to family therapy, patients and families have access to clinical guidance from an expert care team, support meetings, psycho-educational groups, pharmacology groups, and extensive aftercare support.
