About Star View Adolescent Center
Star View Adolescent Center in Torrance, California is a residential adolescent program that offers therapeutic and rehabilitative support for young people ages 12 to 17 who require a high level of care. The center focuses on serving teens dealing with trauma and significant emotional difficulties, using a comprehensive treatment approach designed to reduce the need for hospital admission. Star View can accommodate up to 60 clients, and its residential campus includes an on-site pool as well as a basketball and tennis court to support a structured, active environment. Their clinical services are based on individualized, evidence-informed strategies to provide each client with the strongest chance to succeed. Among the specialized methods used are Aggression Replacement Training (ART), which is a psychoeducational program aimed at helping adolescents manage anger, and the Attachment, Regulation, and Competency (ARC) model, which targets trauma while incorporating family involvement so teens can work through difficult emotions with a trusted caregiver. Star View Adolescent Center is accredited by the Joint Commission and has been in operation since 1996.
