About Discovery Mood and Anxiety Program
Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program has been dedicated to delivering all-encompassing treatment for mental health challenges, substance use issues, and co-occurring disorders since its establishment in 1997. With a presence in over 100 locations across the United States, they cater to clients of various age groups. Their Pacific Place site is notably focused on helping adolescents and young adults aged 11-17 through a specialized dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) approach, offering customized residential care in a compassionate and encouraging setting.
At Discovery Mood, a wide array of evidence-based treatments is available, featuring regular individual, group, and family therapy sessions, where teens engage in a well-structured program comprising 5-6 hours of therapy daily. Their tailored programs encompass educational support, allowing teens to receive assistance from tutors or educational liaisons to help with their studies. The treatment also emphasizes active family involvement, integrating life skills training, experiential activities, and proper medication management supervised by licensed psychiatrists. Teens have opportunities to engage in various experiential therapies, such as gardening, art, yoga, and more, promoting emotional regulation and self-awareness.
Their Irving residential facility specializes in addressing individuals dealing with primary mental health disorders, including reactive attachment disorder (RAD), trauma, anxiety disorders, self-harming behaviors, bipolar disorder, and depression.
Placing importance on reuniting families, Discovery provides extensive support and educational services, along with weekly family therapy sessions and assignments. Clients and their families benefit from expert clinical guidance, participation in support meetings, psycho-educational groups, pharmacology discussions, and a thorough aftercare program.
The aftercare program is designed to foster stability and ongoing support, featuring a vibrant alumni network that offers free weekly support groups, a comprehensive referral system, medication management, and continued care through outpatient services.
