About Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program Whittier
Discovery Mood & Anxiety Program has been delivering full-spectrum mental health and addiction care, along with treatment for co-occurring conditions, since 1997. The program serves people of all ages across more than 100 locations throughout the United States. The Whittier site focuses on gender-inclusive services for adolescents and teens ages 11–17, providing individualized residential treatment in a calm, encouraging setting.
At Discovery Mood, teens receive evidence-based treatment through scheduled individual, group, and family therapy sessions. Daily programming typically includes 5–6 hours of structured clinical care. Each participant’s plan incorporates educational support, with coordination from school liaisons or tutors who help oversee academic progress. Treatment also emphasizes active family participation, teaching coping and life skills alongside hands-on, therapeutic activities. Medication support is provided through board-certified psychiatrists as needed. Teens may also take part in experiential therapies such as gardening, art, yoga, and other activities designed to build emotional insight and self-regulation.
The Whittier residential program is dedicated to serving individuals whose primary needs include mental health concerns such as reactive attachment disorder (RAD), trauma, anxiety disorders, self-harm, bipolar disorder, and depression.
Discovery places strong emphasis on family reintegration. Clients and families receive ongoing educational and clinical support that includes weekly family assignments and family therapy sessions. Beyond therapy, patients and families can draw on guidance from a specialized team, participate in support meetings and psycho-educational groups, attend pharmacology groups, and receive thorough aftercare planning.
Aftercare is designed to help clients maintain stability through continued support, including a strong alumni recovery community. This includes free weekly support groups, a broad referral network, medication management, and continued treatment through outpatient programs.
