About Discovery Mood and Anxiety Program

Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program has been delivering holistic treatment for mental health issues, substance abuse, and related conditions since its inception in 1997. With over 100 facilities across the United States, the program caters to individuals of various age groups. The Vista location is dedicated to assisting adolescent girls and non-binary individuals aged 11-17, providing customized residential care in a supportive and compassionate atmosphere.

At Discovery Mood, clients engage in a comprehensive array of proven therapeutic methods, including regular sessions for individuals, families, and groups. Adolescents follow a structured daily regimen, participating in 5-6 hours of therapeutic activities. Their tailored treatment approaches incorporate educational support, with tutors and liaisons assisting students to ensure academic progress. The program emphasizes family involvement and life skill development along with experiential activities and medication oversight from certified psychiatrists. Engaging therapies like art, yoga, and gardening help promote emotional understanding and regulation.

The Vista facility focuses on addressing primary mental health issues, including trauma, anxiety disorders, reactive attachment disorder (RAD), self-harm, bipolar disorder, and depression.

To facilitate family reintegration, Discovery provides in-depth support services and educational resources for clients and their families, with weekly assignments and therapy sessions designed for familial involvement. Alongside family therapy opportunities, patients benefit from expert clinical guidance, various support meetings, psycho-educational workshops, pharmacology discussions, and comprehensive aftercare.

The aftercare program ensures ongoing stability and support, featuring a strong alumni network with free weekly support groups, a wide-ranging referral system, and continuous care through outpatient services.
