Insight Treatment Center - El Segundo

Insight Treatment Centers, now merged with Clear Behavioral Health, provides comprehensive outpatient treatment for individuals experiencing primary mental health concerns, as well as those with co-occurring substance use disorder, throughout several locations in California. Their El Segundo facility offers day treatment programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP) for teens 13-19 years of age and their families, emphasizing a focus on peer connection, community, and long-term healing.
Recognized as a leader in mental healthcare with over 25 years of experience, the compassionate professionals at Insight begin their process with an in-depth assessment to identify each teen’s unique needs. Their personally tailored care involves a blend of evidence-based and experiential methods, medication management and psychiatric care, individual, group and family therapy, academic support, and peer connection.
Insight offers 2 outpatient programs providing different levels of care. Day treatment (PHP) offers 6 hours of clinical care per day, 5 days per week. Teens engage in multi-family therapy groups, monthly family sessions, and a blend of experiential and holistic activities such as art, music, mindfulness, sound healing, yoga, meditation, and various games and activities with peers.
With weekly family updates and check-in’s, individuals, families and clinicians monitor progress and adjust care plans as needed. When teens are ready, they will step down to a lower level of care with IOP, participating in 3-5 days of clinical care weekly for 3 hours each day. Teens and families continue their individualized treatment plans and maintain a focus on community connections, coping techniques and life skills development.
Insight works to provide teens with a supportive community, both within and outside of treatment through community outreach and coordination. They work with local schools to reduce stigma and offer resources and educational services to aid schools and communities in providing the proper support. They also hold regular teen and parent speaker panels, parent educational nights, a weekly teens group, and community workshops and events.

Choosing the right treatment facility is one of the most important decisions in the recovery journey. Research published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) shows that treatment duration, therapeutic approach, and aftercare planning are the three strongest predictors of long-term sobriety.

According to NIDA research, combination therapy approaches that integrate behavioral interventions (such as 1-on-1 Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) with holistic support show significantly improved outcomes compared to single-modality programs.
