Why Choose reSTART?
Our Mental‑Health‑First Philosophy
Mental Health Is Not Secondary—It’s Foundational
At reSTART, we believe mental health should be the starting point—not an afterthought. Many programs treat symptoms at the surface, but we go deeper. Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is built on the philosophy that digital dependence, behavioral struggles, and emotional distress often stem from underlying, unaddressed mental health challenges.
We lead with comprehensive mental health care, because healing starts when the whole person is seen.
Root-Cause Mental Health Care
We specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, and emotional dysregulation—often hidden beneath behavioral issues, substance use, or screen reliance.
Destigmatizing Support
We create a safe space where seeking mental health support is seen as a strength. Our staff guide individuals and families to let go of shame and embrace healing.
Integrated Dual Diagnosis Support
Digital dependence rarely exists in isolation. We treat co-occurring conditions like depression or anxiety alongside behavioral challenges.
Individualized, Not One-Size-Fits-All
Like the top IOPs nationwide, reSTART builds personalized care plans tailored to each teen or adult’s history, needs, and pace of growth.
Mental Health First Means:
- Prioritizing therapeutic connection before behavior change
- Addressing trauma before teaching coping skills
- Empowering individuals before imposing limits
When mental health is strong, everything else follows.
Core Tracks: Mental Health, Substance Use & Digital Dependence
Leading the Nation in Recognizing Digital Overuse as a Co-Occurring Condition
reSTART is the first program in the nation to consistently examine and assess for co-occurring digital dependence alongside primary mental health conditions, substance use, and trauma. We recognize that today’s challenges are often intertwined—so our care is designed to reflect the complexity of modern life.
Mental Health Core Track
Treatment is trauma-informed and grounded in evidence-based care and personalized to each person. You’ll build emotional awareness, practice new coping strategies, and gain clarity through:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Motivational Interviewing
Experiential therapies (e.g., art, movement, mindfulness)
Digital Dependence
This track is designed for individuals whose screen use is affecting the core areas of well-being. Whether it’s endless scrolling, late-night gaming, or social withdrawal, we help clients regain control and rebuild balance through:
- Evidence-based approaches to screen and gaming overuse
- Impulse control strategies and habit retraining
- Support for restoring healthy sleep, hygiene, routines, and nutrition
- Rebuilding offline connection, communication, and relational skills
- Psychoeducation on boundaries, self-regulation, and digital wellness
We often treat individuals with overlapping needs—so core tracks can be blended for a more personalized, cross-disciplinary plan.
