Teen Treatment Center Opens In Danville Residential Neighborhood

DANVILLE, CA — Evolve Treatment Centers for Teens has announced the opening of a residential treatment center in Danville. The 24/7 facility is providing round-the-clock "support and treatment" at a private, gated 2.4-acre home on Montego Drive in Westside Danville, according an announcement from the company earlier this month.

The full-time program is serving teens struggling with depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, self-injurious behavior, ODD, psychosis, PTSD, or other mental health, substance abuse, or behavioral issues. On average, patients live at the facility 30-60 days; the Danville center serves a maximum of six teenagers at a time, with a 24/7 teen-staff ratio of 3:1, the company said.

The East Bay facility joins Evolve’s two other locations in the Bay Area: a partial hospitalization/intensive outpatient program in San Jose, and a residential treatment center in Gilroy.

“Now, as we advance up the coast to Northern California, we are excited to bring this highly effective treatment model to Danville and the greater Contra Costa County at large," said Dr. Lauren Kerwin, Ph.D., executive clinical director at Evolve Treatment Centers.

“Early, intensive interventions for mental health and substance use disorders in adolescents has been shown to drastically increase an individual’s success later in life,” said Alexa Boffoli, LMFT, program director at Evolve Danville. “It is so satisfying to know that we can now offer these much-needed, comprehensive services in the East Bay, to a region where higher-level mental health services for youth are scarce. These services aim to increase the use of healthier coping strategies, to manage and communicate intense emotions effectively and to develop more positive relationships in order to help create a life worth living. We look forward to working with youth, their families and other service providers with our new residential treatment center in Contra Costa County.”
