Building ESTEEM™ with Evidence-Based Treatment

Our Discovery ESTEEM SystemTM provides individualized care to help patients develop the skills and confidence they need to create the life they want. Along with customized care, we employ a variety of evidence-based modalities, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and more. Here, patients benefit from one-on-one therapeutic support as well as group sessions in an encouraging environment of peers where they can safely practice new ways of coping that are transferable to home. Family therapy is also available.

At the Alexandria center, we ensure that patients are able to focus on recovery while staying on track with studies through our comprehensive School Support Program. Experiential therapies are also available, which includes music and art, for a well-rounded experience.

Patients can also expect programs after treatment, such as:

  • Aftercare to facilitate transitions and challenges post-discharge.
  • A customized Discovery app to provide information, resources and a community of support for family members.
  • Discovery alumni online support groups, in-person and virtual events for family members and patients to assist in post-discharge transition and provide an ongoing support system to facilitate long-term recovery.
  • Discovery for Life™, free support that’s with patients for a lifetime. This includes Discovery365™, a 16-point interactive assessment and check-in program for one year after discharge.

“This has been my best experience with mental health treatment by far. I was able to uncover and help a lot of things I’ve never been able to help before. I would know if I told someone to come here that they would be safe and would get the help and care they needed.” – D.B., former patient at DMA Brentwood

“My daughter felt the program was useful in helping her to identify her triggers as well as learn strategies for dealing with strong emotions. The family sessions were tough, but so valuable. I always had a lot to think about, and I am hopeful my daughter and I can work through life with more ease and grace.” – S.R., parent of DMA Brentwood alumni
