About Hillcrest Adolescent Treatment Center

Hillcrest Adolescent Treatment Center welcomes teens and their families into a serene residential setting designed to support healing, stability, and growth. Upon arrival, clients are greeted by a

tranquil, tropical-inspired environment that immediately sets a calming tone for treatment. Hillcrest emphasizes healthy family involvement, incorporating structured family therapy sessions that strengthen communication and support long-term recovery. Treatment is individualized and evidence-based, drawing from a multidisciplinary clinical approach tailored to each adolescent’s unique needs.

Hillcrest utilizes proven therapeutic modalities such as Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help teens develop emotional regulation, healthy thinking patterns, and effective coping skills. Experiential therapies—including expressive art therapy, mindfulness practices, and life skills development—further support personal growth and self-awareness. To ensure accessibility and inclusivity, translation services are available for non-English-speaking clients. Hillcrest is proud to be CARF accredited and staffed by a highly trained, compassionate clinical team dedicated to adolescent care.

A Private, Nature-Immersed Healing Environment

Set on a secluded rural estate in the foothills of Agoura Hills, Hillcrest’s residence blends rustic charm with understated elegance. The property features koi ponds, stone bridges, flowing waterfalls, shaded patios, and lush tropical landscaping that encourage reflection and calm. Inside, the home offers a warm, open atmosphere filled with natural light, plush furnishings, and stone fireplaces that create a sense of comfort and safety.

Clients enjoy access to upscale amenities, including a swimming pool and a full-size tennis court. An executive chef prepares customizable, nutrition-focused meal plans tailored to each client’s dietary needs or restrictions, supporting both physical health and emotional wellbeing. Every aspect of the environment is intentionally designed to help adolescents feel supported, grounded, and at ease throughout their treatment journey.

Residential Treatment

For teens requiring a higher level of care, our residential program provides 24/7 support in a structured, therapeutic environment. Teens receive personalized treatment plans that address mental health, behavioral challenges, and co-occurring disorders. They participate in daily therapy sessions, skill-building activities, and peer support, all while being surrounded by caring professionals.

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) allows teens to receive intensive care during the day while returning home in the evenings. This program is ideal for those who need structured support but do not require overnight stays. PHP focuses on therapy, coping strategies, and academic support to ensure continued progress.

Family Programming

At Hillcrest, we understand that family involvement is essential to a teen’s recovery. Our family therapy program offers a space for parents and guardians to actively participate in the healing process. Through regular family sessions, workshops, and education, we help families strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and create a supportive home environment.
