Center for Discovery Menlo Park

In Menlo Park, California, Center for Discovery Menlo Park operates as a small residential rehab focused on adolescents ages 10 to 18. Young people receive care here for eating disorders and substance use disorder, as well as mental health conditions that occur alongside addiction, and the team coordinates care across both areas instead of treating one in isolation. The setting is meant to feel calm and supportive, so patients can concentrate on treatment while families stay involved.

Family sessions are held each week as part of the broader plan, and clinicians draw on several methods to meet each adolescent at their own stage. This location also runs Path to Peace, a program focused specifically on binge eating disorder. Since the program is small and described as serving up to six patients, families frequently want to know how soon an opening might come up. Callers can contact the helpline to ask about present openings and insurance coverage.
