At San Jose Behavioral Health, we understand the unique ways that adolescents are impacted by behavioral and mental health disorders, and we recognize the need for age-appropriate care that is designed and provided with the needs of young people in mind.
Comprehensive Adolescent Program
We are proud to offer the San Jose Behavioral Health Adolescent Program, a comprehensive inpatient program that is devoted solely to helping adolescents aged 14 to 17 who have been struggling with a host of behavioral health issues, mental health conditions, and/or mood disorders, including the following:
- Anxiety disorders
- Depressive disorders
- Adjustment disorders
- Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)
- Psychosis
- Homicidal ideation
- Suicidal ideation
Individuals who receive care in the San Jose Behavioral Health Adolescent Program will participate in a variety of therapeutic interventions, all of which have been selected for their effectiveness at helping people within this specific age range. To ensure that young people have an optimal treatment experience in the safest and most supportive environment, all care in the adolescent program is provided separately from the services that are offered to adults.
Treatment Method
Treatment modalities that are employed in the adolescent program include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Wellness Recovery Action Planning (WRAP), trauma-focused therapy, and mindfulness practices. Typical length of stay in the San Jose Behavioral Health Adolescent Program is three to 15 days.
As is the case with all care at San Jose Behavioral Health, treatment within the adolescent program is both comprehensive and personalized. Upon admission, all adolescents complete a thorough assessment that identifies the nature and severity of their needs and helps them to establish short and long-term goals. Based upon these assessments, the members of each adolescent’s treatment team develop individualized treatment plans that will meet their needs and empower them to achieve their goals.
