BNI Treatment & Paradigm Treatment present A Day At Disneyland! 🏰🪄🐭💖 Last week I had the honor of cohosting this amazing event with some of the best treatment programs in the country, with the people who share the same mission of helping children, adolescents, and families find hope, healing, and a brighter future. The day started with a luncheon at Club 33 where we had a Mad Hatter Tea Party, and then spent the rest of the day on a VIP Tour with meaningful conversations, unforgettable experiences, and a lot Disney magic. We are incredibly grateful to work alongside such compassionate, dedicated professionals. The work these beautiful humans do every day—supporting young people through some of life’s most difficult challenges and helping families heal—is nothing short of inspiring. It is a privilege to collaborate with individuals and organizations who make such a profound difference in the lives of others. Special thanks to Disneyland and our amazing VIP Tour guide Wyatt Roman for a magical day 🥳♥️

"Will my teen fall behind in school?" It's one of the first questions parents ask when considering addiction treatment, and it's completely understandable.
Here's the reassuring part: studying and recovery can happen together. Many programs build academics right into the treatment plan, with licensed teachers, flexible scheduling, and coordination with your teen's school so they don't lose credit or fall behind.
And there's a real upside. Keeping up with schoolwork gives teens structure, a sense of normalcy, and the confidence that comes from staying on track, all of which can support their recovery.
Our new article walks through what academics look like at different levels of care and how the right support keeps your teen moving forward.

OCD or OCPD? They sound alike, but they are not the same thing, and the difference can be easy to miss in a teen.
Here is one way to think about it: a teen with OCD usually knows their thoughts and rituals don't make sense and feels distressed by them. A teen with OCPD tends to see their perfectionism, rigid rules, and need for control as simply the right way to do things. That second one can be especially hard to spot, because it can look like a "model" teenager who just has high standards.
Both often show up during the adolescent years, and both respond well to treatment when caught early. In our latest article, we walk through what sets these two conditions apart, the early warning signs to watch for, and how each one is treated.
If you have been wondering what is underneath your teen's behavior, this is a good place to start.

While both OCD and OCPD are characterized by obsessive and compulsive behaviors, with OCD, the person recognizes their symptoms as irrational and unwanted.

If your teen is recovering from substance use, you may be wondering how long healing really takes.
The honest answer is that it varies, but the brain's ability to rewire itself is real and measurable. Recovery doesn't simply erase what happened. It builds new, healthier pathways that grow stronger over time, and the adolescent brain is remarkably capable of this kind of repair.
Our newest article explains what happens during brain recovery, from the first weeks of withdrawal through the deeper repair that continues for months and beyond. We also share the everyday habits that support healing and what to watch for along the way.
If you want to understand what your teen's recovery journey may look like, this is a good place to start.

Addiction takes over the body, but the downward spiral is typically due to changes in the brain. When recovery happens, the brain rewires for normalcy. But

Most parents of teenagers ask themselves the same quiet question at some point: Is this just adolescence, or is something more going on?
Moodiness, withdrawal, and irritability can be part of growing up. But sometimes they're the surface of something deeper, and the line between the two isn't always obvious from the inside of a household.
In our latest article, Dr. Aminzadeh walks through seven signs of mental illness in teenagers that are worth paying close attention to, along with a guide for when to monitor, when to call a clinician, and when to seek help right away. Not to alarm. To inform. The earlier a teen gets the right support, the more options they have.
