Discover What Teenage Mental Health Conditions We Treat at BasePoint Academy
Did You Know?
Approximately 50% of all lifetime mental health disorders begin to present by 14, as reported by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Of that 50%, roughly 25% of teenagers experience severe impairment due to mental health disorders.[1]
And the standard treatments available in most areas aren’t designed to fit the life of a teen and effectively address their unique challenges. BasePoint Academy in Dallas, Texas, is determined to change the tides of teen-focused care.
Lifelong healing starts now. And it begins here.
What We Treat: Teen Mental and Behavioral Health Services
We’re a teen-only facility dedicated to helping teenagers work through their daily struggles with anxiety, substance abuse, behavior issues, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other life challenges.
Through our multi-leveled treatment approach, our team is dedicated to providing our teens with compassionate, skilled, and dedicated care in a safe and supportive environment – without sacrificing their academic pursuits.
Teen Depression Treatment
Teen depression can be caused by a number of factors. Ranging from a family history of depression or a genetic predisposition to exposure to traumatic events, whether chronic or singular, and even environmental influences such as peer pressure or abuse can all contribute to the development of teen depression.
However, their experience is unique and is not addressed through standard adult treatment methods. At BasePoint Academy, we are committed to providing teen-specific treatment to help your child identify, address, and overcome the effects of depression.
Teen Anxiety Treatment
Nearly 32% of teenagers have an anxiety disorder, according to The National Institute of Mental Health. Of that nearly ⅓ of American teens, an estimated 8% experience severe impairment due to the symptoms of their anxiety.[2]
It’s clear that the need for targeted, comprehensive support is at a critical stage. BasePoint Academy provides an end-to-end individualized treatment plan for each student that includes a variety of therapies, psychiatric interventions, and counseling for teens. Our goal is to fully support our students and facilitate their holistic healing for a brighter future.
Teen Trauma Treatment
Experiencing trauma at any level can produce debilitating symptoms, from confusion and anxiety to depression and emotional numbness. Trauma-informed care treats the whole teen, from the inside out, to address the underlying cause as well as the presenting symptoms.
Our teen-focused and trauma-informed treatment makes space for them to safely navigate their experiences and develop healthy coping skills. Together, we’ll help your teen become better equipped to gain freedom from the past and create a positive future.
Teen Substance Use and Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Dual diagnosis or co-occurring disorders are present when a teen experiences both mental health concerns and unhealthy substance abuse. While one does not cause the other, it can make treating each more complex.
By offering comprehensive, holistic treatment for all presenting disorders, your teen will be more successful in their pursuit of a healthier lifestyle and a more peaceful existence.
Teen Suicidal Ideation
On a global scale, one in every seven teenagers from the ages of 10 to 19 experience a struggle with their mental health. In addition to this troubling statistic, suicide is the fourth leading cause of death for those from ages as young as 15 to 29.[3]
It’s no longer realistic to assume that your teen is exempt from mental health struggles leading to suicide. It’s time to leverage the tools at your disposal and ensure a future for your teen – one that’s bright and hopeful.
