Paragon is a residential treatment program that provides intensive, psychiatric treatment services to youth age 10-17. Our program is located in Maple Grove, Minnesota and provides services to youth from around the state. We are this part of the nation’s most intensive and comprehensive residential program. Paragon’s treatment program is overseen by a board certified child and adolescent psychiatrist who leads the clinical services and provides weekly psychiatry care to our residents. This level of involvement and oversight by a psychiatrist who specializes in children and adolescents allows us to offer the highest caliber of psychiatric care to youth with chronic and complex mental health issues. Our treatment model includes the entire family, and embraces both psychodynamic and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) informed methods. We consider each individual’s cognitive, emotional, developmental, relational, family and spiritual needs while thoroughly evaluating and addressing all underlying psychiatric conditions. Treatment goals and plans are made in collaboration with each individual and their parents and guardians. Paragon also offers an after-care component in which residents who are transitioning out of 24 hour care can continue working with our psychiatrists and therapists for several months.
