Where Healing Meets Comfort
Hillcrest Adolescent Treatment Center is nestled in the peaceful, scenic hills of Agoura Hills, California—a location chosen for its natural beauty and calming atmosphere. Our campus is thoughtfully designed to create a safe, welcoming environment where teens can focus on healing and personal growth. Every detail, from our serene outdoor spaces to our cozy interiors, reflects our commitment to comfort and care. We’ve worked hard to make our facilities feel like a home away from home, blending warmth with practicality to meet the unique needs of adolescents in treatment.
Outdoor Retreats
The natural beauty surrounding our campus provides an immediate sense of peace. Teens can unwind by the koi fish ponds, walk across pebbled bridges, or relax near our gentle waterfalls. Landscaped gardens with meditation spaces and scenic walking paths offer opportunities for reflection and mindfulness. These outdoor spaces encourage teens to connect with nature, which can have a profound impact on mental health and overall well-being.
Recreational Spaces
We know that physical activity is a vital part of recovery, and our campus offers plenty of ways to stay active and have fun. Whether swimming in the pool, soaking in the spa, or enjoying a friendly game on the tennis court, there’s always something to do. These activities not only promote physical health but also help teens build confidence, improve mood, and develop healthy habits they can carry into the future.
Warm, Inviting Interiors
Inside, we’ve created a space that feels like home. Sunlight streams into large rooms filled with comfortable seating and cozy touches like stone fireplaces. Common areas provide space for teens to relax, read, play games, or connect with others in the program. Private bedrooms and bathrooms are designed with care, offering each teen their own personal space to rest and recharge. Every corner of our facility is designed to make teens feel comfortable and cared for.
Creative Spaces for Self-Expression
Creativity is an essential part of the healing process, and our dedicated spaces for art, music, and recreational therapy provide the perfect outlets for self-expression. These areas inspire teens to explore their interests, try new things, and discover creative ways to process their emotions. Whether painting, playing an instrument, or working on a group project, teens have the chance to express themselves in a supportive, judgment-free environment.
At Hillcrest, every aspect of our campus—from the natural surroundings to the thoughtfully designed interiors—is aimed at helping teens feel safe, inspired, and supported on their journey to recovery.
Nutrition as Part of Recovery
At Hillcrest Adolescent Treatment Center, we recognize that proper nutrition is essential for healing both the body and the mind. Our approach to dining goes beyond simply providing meals; we use nutrition as a powerful tool to support recovery, improve mood, and promote long-term health.
Delicious, Nourishing Meals Tailored to Every Teen
Our modern, spacious kitchen is the heart of our dining experience. Here, our on-site chef crafts a variety of nutritious, flavorful meals designed to meet the unique dietary needs and preferences of our clients. Whether accommodating allergies, sensitivities, or cultural food preferences, we ensure that every teen enjoys meals that are not only nourishing but also enjoyable. We believe that dining should be a comforting and positive experience, helping to build healthy relationships with food.
The Connection Between Food and Mental Health
Research shows that what we eat directly impacts how we feel. At Hillcrest, we integrate this understanding into our meal planning, offering nutrient-dense options that fuel both the body and the brain. Foods rich in vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients can help stabilize mood, enhance cognitive function, and provide the energy needed to fully engage in therapeutic activities. Our meals are designed to support the recovery process by promoting physical wellness and emotional balance.
A Community-Centered Dining Experience
Mealtime at Hillcrest is about more than just eating—it’s about coming together. Shared meals in our inviting dining spaces provide opportunities for connection, conversation, and support. These moments of togetherness foster a sense of community, helping teens build relationships and feel less isolated during their recovery journey.
Nutrition Education for Long-Term Wellness
We also use mealtime as a teaching opportunity. Our program incorporates lessons on healthy eating habits, meal preparation, and the role of nutrition in overall wellness. These skills empower teens to make informed food choices and maintain their health long after they leave our care. By focusing on the importance of balance and mindfulness around food, we set our clients up for a lifetime of healthy eating.
Education
At Hillcrest Adolescent Treatment Center, we believe that healing shouldn’t mean putting life on hold—especially when it comes to education. For teens in our care, continuing their academic journey is not only possible but an integral part of their recovery process. Our on-site academic program is designed to provide structure, support, and a sense of normalcy, ensuring that students remain engaged in their studies while receiving the care they need.
Personalized Academic Support
Our Director of Education works closely with each client to create a tailored learning plan that accommodates their unique needs and academic goals. Whether it’s catching up on missed assignments, preparing for standardized tests, or excelling in challenging subjects, we provide the tools and guidance necessary for success. Small class sizes and individualized attention foster an environment where students can thrive.
An Engaging Learning Environment
Our classrooms are designed to be calm, supportive spaces where teens feel comfortable and encouraged to participate. Our educators aim to create an engaging atmosphere that makes learning enjoyable, even during challenging times. We collaborate with local schools and educational programs to ensure that our clients can easily transition back to their home schools or continue their studies seamlessly after treatment.
Building Confidence Through Education
For many teens, academic challenges can feel overwhelming, especially when compounded by mental health or behavioral struggles. By providing a supportive and empowering educational experience, we help our clients regain confidence in their abilities. This renewed sense of accomplishment can have a ripple effect, positively influencing their self-esteem and overall recovery journey.
