About Evolve Teen Comprehensive DBT Treatment – Aura – Los Angeles
Evolve Aura is a residential treatment facility in Los Angeles, California, that offers substance abuse treatment for adolescents. This organization stands out for primarily using the dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) therapeutic approach.
The facility is located in a quiet, gated residential neighborhood. The 6,641 sqft property provides individuals with a safe environment where they can focus on their healing and growth. Clients will receive 24/7 supervision and support from the staff. In most cases, the length of time a client will stay at the facility is 45 to 60 days. Evolve Aura features numerous amenities, including a gym, a swimming pool and an in house chef that cooks nutritious meals.
Dialectical behavioral therapy is designed to treat emotional dysregulation and behavioral issues. Clients will participate in DBT groups four times a week. The clients will learn to regulate their emotions better and improve their distress tolerance, which can make them less likely to use substances to cope with life challenges.
Other clinical approaches that counselors will use to treat clients include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). CBT helps patients to recognize the triggers that lead them to abuse substances and improve their thought patterns to prevent relapse. Motivational interviewing assists clients by increasing their internal motivation to change their addictive behavior.
Patients will have 50-minute individual therapy sessions three times a week, 15 group sessions per week, and two family therapy sessions a week.
Evolve Aura also offers experiential therapy treatments. These therapeutic approaches help teens to practice the skills they’re learning, explore new ways of expressing themselves and increase their self awareness. Some of the experiential therapies available include art therapy and equine therapy.
