WHAT IS BREAKTHROUGH bY BASEPOINT?
Our Outpatient Treatment Program offers individually tailored treatment plans designed to facilitate a smooth transition back into your everyday routine. Whether you’re transitioning from our teen & adolescent program, another treatment program, or embarking on your first program at BasePoint, our specialized approach ensures continuity of care and personalized support.
What Makes Our Program Great?
BreakThrough by BasePoint is our new Emerging Adults program designed specifically for 18 to 28-year-olds. We built this program because 67% of young adults with anxiety or depression don’t seek treatment, and we know we can change this. We saw a need to bridge the gap for mental health treatment from adolescence to young adulthood, thus, BreakThrough by BasePoint was born.
This PHP/lOP program allows patients to continue treatment while remaining present in their everyday life.

Online Depression Treatment
Depression is more than just feeling sad. It is a mental health condition that influences the way you think, feel, and act. Different levels of severity of depression can dramatically affect eating, energy, and sleeping patterns, your interest in everyday activities, and feelings of sadness or worthlessness.
Depression is one of the most common mental health conditions and maybe even more severe for young adults than older adults. A survey from the National Institute of Mental Health demonstrates that the prevalence of major depressive episodes in young adults is 18.6%, which is roughly double the prevalence of those aged 26 to 49.
Online Bipolar Disorder Treatment
It is normal to experience a wide range of motions, but when the ups and downs of life are associated with periods of manic behavior and depressive mood, it may be bipolar disorder. Signs of bipolar disorder in young adults can be challenging to identify as it sometimes presents as other mental health conditions.
It can overlap with symptoms of attention deficit disorder, conduct disorder, and emerging borderline personality disorder in young adults. The symptoms of extreme ups and downs in mood and activity level manifest at a time in life that is usually turbulent. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial since the condition does not get better on its own and, when left untreated, can lead to devastating results.
Online Anxiety Disorders (e.g., Social and Generalized Disorder) Treatment
There is a wide variety of anxiety disorders that are characterized by the object or situation that induces the anxiety. For most young adults, anxiety disorders interfere with job performance, relationships, and school. Anxiety disorders can include panic disorder, general anxiety disorder, specific phobias, social anxiety disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, separation anxiety disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
According to the National Institute of Mental Health, the prevalence of anxiety disorders in young adults remains relatively stable between 18 and 59 years. Anxiety is a common emotion that is crucial to survival. However, when anxiety leads to constant worrying, digestive issues, insomnia, and a reduced ability to function, it becomes a mental health condition.
Online Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Treatment
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is generally triggered by acute or chronic traumatic events such as the loss of a loved one, bullying, chronic abuse, an accident, or witnessing a life-threatening situation. It is normal to need time to get past a traumatic event. However, people with PTSD continue to have flashbacks, dreams, or upsetting thoughts about their experiences.
The symptoms of PTSD can appear immediately but are usually noticed within the first six months after the experience. They can include avoidance of a situation that triggers memories, flashbacks, and nightmares or being always tense and on guard. People with PTSD may also experience other co-occurring mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression, which may lead to substance use disorders, problems eating and sleeping, or increased anger and irritability.
Online Trauma Treatment
Some types of events are clearly traumatic, such as a natural disaster, being assaulted, or experiencing a traumatic loss. Other types of situations do not at first appear traumatic, such as public embarrassment, a minor traffic accident, or changing schools. Trauma is experienced during and immediately after a highly distressing event.
During this period, symptoms associated with a traumatic response include being nervous or on edge, difficulty sleeping, panic attacks, flashbacks, depression, and anxiety. These symptoms can last for up to six months. Through early trauma treatment, the board-certified mental health professionals at BasePoint Academy can help limit the negative impact of trauma and reduce the potential that it develops into PTSD.
Online Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Treatment
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental disorder that typically arises in childhood but lasts through adulthood. There are three types of ADHD. Each has a unique set of symptoms that affect your behavior and ability to follow instructions. In some cases, ADHD may not have been diagnosed in childhood.
Symptoms of attention deficit disorder in young adults can include trouble focusing, lack of organization and poor time management, trouble multitasking, restlessness, and mood swings. These problems can lead to significant challenges in college, social situations, and job performance. Young adults with ADHD can find it difficult to meet deadlines, control emotional outbursts, and be organized to get to events or meetings on time.
Online Psychiatric Disorders Treatment
The prevalence of psychiatric disorders in young adults rose in 2021 when 48% reported struggling with mental health, 39% reported using prescription medications and/or receiving counseling, and 36% reported having an unmet counseling need. Identifying and treating psychiatric disorders is crucial for promoting a young adult’s well-being throughout their life.
Young adults continue to experience cognitive development through age 29, which is one reason why they are more vulnerable to mental health conditions. Most people are familiar with the emotional turmoil that accompanies adolescence. The part of the brain that controls impulse control, organization, and planning continues to develop through the mid-20s, accounting for a young adult’s vulnerability.

Call: (972) 357-1749Check Your InsuranceDoes Insurance Cover Online Treatment
for Mental Health?
Yes, health insurance covers online mental health treatment. Their parent’s health insurance policy may still cover young adults aged 18 to 25. In 2010, the Affordable Care Act mandated that all health insurance policies offer coverage for essential healthcare services. This includes mental health conditions and substance use disorders.
However, your rehab insurance coverage is limited by your insurance policy. Some policies limit how mental health treatment can be administered; others may limit the number of sessions allowed per incident, year, or lifetime. The easiest way to identify your policy limits is to call Breakthrough by BasePoint at (972) 357-1749 or contact us online. Our admission specialist will verify your insurance, estimate your out-of-pocket costs, and determine if prior authorization is required before treatment can begin.
Insurance Providers That Cover Online Mental Health Treatment of Young Adults
Health insurance companies are mandated to provide essential health services, including psychological disorders, behavioral health conditions, and mood disorders, as well as substance abuse and addiction. However, each insurance policy has different benefits and limitations to their insurance coverage levels.
The benefits and limitations include your deductible, copays, out-of-pocket costs, and whether the facility is located in-network. Each of these affects the cost of treatment. Insurance providers that cover online health treatment of young adults in Texas include Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Magellan, UnitedHealthcare, Optum, and Cigna.
What Are The Causes of Mental Health Problems in Young Adults?
There isn’t one cause for mental health problems in young adults. It’s likely that for many people, it’s a combination of complicated factors that affect mental health symptoms. The following are just some of the identified causes that can trigger mental health problems, but it is not an exhaustive list.
- Early life experiences: Experiences during childhood can have a significant and lifelong impact on your mental health. These include abuse, trauma, neglect, long-term physical health conditions, domestic violence, or being a witness to a traumatic event.
- Chemical imbalances: The human brain is extremely complicated, and some research suggests that brain chemistry may influence mental health problems. There is evidence that medication is effective in treating some symptoms, but they do not work the same for everyone.
- Trauma and stress: Severe emotional stress or experiencing a traumatic event such as sexual abuse, loss of a loved one, or witnessing a life-altering event can significantly influence mental health.
- Genetics: Some mental health conditions are more commonly found in people who have blood relatives with the same illness. While genetics can increase the risk, other factors must also be present to trigger most mental health conditions.
- Family and peer influences: Everyone can experience a traumatic event, but not everyone who experiences a traumatic event develops a mental health condition. Family and peer influences can help protect you or can increase your potential risk for developing a mental health condition, such as depression, anxiety, or an eating disorder.
- Coping mechanisms: People with strong coping mechanisms and a network of supportive friends and family have a reduced risk of experiencing mental health conditions.
Levels of Care for Young Adult Mental Health Treatment

Signs and Symptoms of Mental Health Disorders in Over 18’s
The signs and symptoms of mental health disorders in college students and early adulthood can be exhibited slightly differently than in childhood and adolescence, or older adults. Below are some of the symptoms that can occur in a variety of conditions and how they may exhibit in the life of emerging adults. Although these are common symptoms, this is not an exhaustive list.
- Mood changes: Young adults may experience prolonged feelings of hopelessness or helplessness, ongoing sadness or empty mood, or excessive guilt. Mood changes include extreme mood swings from being ecstatic and happy to sad or depressed. You may be more irritable and get angry more easily.
- Changes in sleep patterns: Symptoms of a mental health condition can affect how you sleep, including being unable to go to sleep, falling asleep but waking up throughout the night, or sleeping excessively through the day and night.
- Changes in appetite and weight: Symptoms of a mental health condition are often accompanied by changes in appetite, which are reflected by changes in your weight. It may be associated with an underlying medical condition if you are gaining or losing weight without eating more or less.
- Disordered eating habits: While mental health conditions can affect your appetite level, they can also affect how you approach food. Disordered eating habits can include binge eating, anorexia, and bulimia. These symptoms are not driven by physical appetite but rather are symptoms of an eating disorder.
- Social withdrawal: When experiencing symptoms of a mental health condition, it may feel easier to isolate yourself from friends and family and avoid social activities. Young adults who are experiencing social phobias may also withdraw from activities that cause them increased stress and anxiety.
- Fatigue and low energy: Mental health conditions that trigger a depressed mood increase feelings of fatigue and make it difficult to complete daily tasks. You may feel persistently tired and unable to regain your normal energy level, even when you sleep enough hours at night.
- Difficulty concentrating: Mental health conditions can make it difficult to focus on a specific task, such as work or school, reducing your performance. You may also find yourself becoming more forgetful.
- Loss of interest: Activities that were once exciting and interesting to you no longer hold meaning in your life. You feel apathetic or indifferent to most of what happens throughout the day. Your friends and family may have noticed your loss of interest.
- Increased anxiety: You may experience excessive worry and fear, panic attacks, or develop new fears of situations and or people.
- Increased risky behaviors: It may feel as if you’ve lost your normal level of concern for situations and places, leading you to act recklessly. You may make impulsive decisions and put yourself in situations that increase the risk of getting sick or injured.
- Relationship problems: Mental health conditions can make it challenging to maintain a healthy relationship with family, friends, or partners. You may experience frequent conflicts and arguments that damage the relationship.
- Somatic and physical symptoms: You may experience unexplained physical aches and pains without an injury or illness. If you develop excessive thoughts, feelings, or behaviors related to these symptoms, they become somatic symptoms.
- Self-harm: Self-harm activities include cutting, burning, or picking at wounds. People engage in self-harm activities to feel pain when they are emotionally numb, punish themselves, or avoid or manage their feelings.
- Suicidal thoughts: These can occur in several mental health conditions and can occur outside of a mental health diagnosis. Left untreated, it can have devastating results for the individual and their family.
- Substance abuse: Mental health conditions can trigger an increased use of alcohol, drugs, or other substances that alter your mental, emotional, and physical state.
Does Mental Health Treatment Include Therapy and Counseling?
Mental health treatment includes therapy and counseling, whether you receive that in person or virtually. Therapy and counseling occur in one-on-one situations, in groups, and with your family. This is the foundation of learning coping mechanisms and other strategies that reduce the symptoms of mental health conditions.
The type of talk therapy you experience at Breakthrough by BasePoint is customized to meet your needs based on your psychological examination. Therapy and counseling can help to strengthen your self-confidence, build relationship skills, and help change the behaviors that have held you back from success.
How Much Does Online Mental Health Treatment Cost?
The cost of online mental health treatment varies greatly depending on your customized treatment plan, the facility, and insurance coverage. Virtual therapy services without insurance can cost from $80 to $150 per session. The number of sessions you receive each week influences your weekly cost.
Although the Affordable Care Act mandates that all health insurance plans must cover mental health treatment, all plans have specific limitations, and not all plans cover virtual treatment. Some plans limit the type of therapy you can receive, while others limit the number of sessions per incident, year, or lifetime. You can easily check your insurance coverage by calling Breakthrough by BasePoint and speaking to one of our admission specialists.
