Teen-Centered Residential Care
The program is made solely for teens, allowing each person to heal alongside peers who can more closely relate to their life experiences. Evidence-based therapies are adapted for adolescents’ specific needs. These include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), trauma counseling, and motivational interviewing. Teens who require treatment for co-occurring substance use can get it at the same time as addressing their mental health.
Integrated Academic Support
While in residential care, teens start the day with three hours of educational instruction by teachers and tutors from the associated Mission Academy School. Lessons can be made to fit teens’ individual education goals and are coordinated with home schools to make sure teens don’t fall behind while receiving care. Families receive regular updates to make sure everyone is on the same page.
Experiential Therapies and Life Skills
Along with evidence-based approaches, teens can join therapeutic outdoor activities such as hiking and surfing. Various other types of recreational therapy, as well as art and music therapy, are also offered. Building life skills is another essential component of Key Healthcare Malibu’s program. Staff guide teens through healthy ways to express emotions, methods of reducing stress, and pathways to building self esteem.
Family Participation
Staff communicate frequently with parents and guardians and provide active guidance while teens are in treatment. This includes consistent clinical updates and planning for teens’ return home. Family therapy is seen as a crucial part of treatment. Both parents and siblings can participate in education on topics including communication, trust, and setting boundaries.

Across the site, our team has conducted over 1,000 pre-admissions calls to better understand the patient experience, interviewed facility clinical leaders, performed facility background checks, and compared our information against trusted public data sources.
Our research process begins with data from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), accrediting bodies including The Joint Commission and CARF, government licensing agencies, and other trusted sources. From there, our team conducts significant original research, including:
- Pre-admissions calls: We speak with admissions staff to get a candid picture of patient experience.
- Background checks: We review complaints from past clients, media reports, actions taken by accrediting bodies, and positive recognition from notable organizations.
- Clinical interviews: We have in-depth conversations with clinical leadership, often lasting up to one hour, that give us a better understanding of clinical care.
- Data partnerships: We ingest and analyze exclusive data that provides information about in-network insurance status, cost, and more.
Research varies by facility. Each facility profile shows which research steps we completed and when each step was last performed. Learn more about our research process and background checks.
How we evaluate treatment facilities
These data help us develop a Trust Score for each facility—a simple letter grade that helps you assess how much confidence to place in a facility based on the information available to us. Trust Score considers accreditation, operating history, notable recognition, and concerns identified during our background check. Our Trust Score is an objective rating that is never influenced by advertiser payment. Learn more about our Trust Score methodology.
Important disclaimer
We cannot guarantee the quality of treatment at any facility. We cannot independently confirm the accuracy of every data point, and some information may become outdated or change over time. A Trust Score is a starting point, not a guarantee of treatment quality or outcomes. Please contact us if you would like to update or correct facility information.
