Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) Treatment Program for Teens
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is more than just typical teenage rebellion. It’s a condition marked by frequent anger, irritability, and persistent defiance toward rules and authority figures. Left untreated, ODD can damage relationships, interrupt school performance, and create serious emotional strain for the teen and their family.
At Silver State Adolescent Treatment, our residential ODD program provides a safe and structured space where teens receive the therapeutic care and behavioral support they need. We take a compassionate approach that focuses not only on managing behavior but also understanding the emotional roots behind it.
Each teen in our program receives an individualized treatment plan built around their unique personality, challenges, and strengths. We work closely with families to help rebuild communication, restore trust, and create a plan for long-term success.


What is Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)?
Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a behavioral condition that affects children and teens, typically becoming more noticeable during adolescence. Teens with ODD display a pattern of hostile, defiant, and disruptive behavior that goes beyond normal teenage rebellion. This may include frequent temper outbursts, arguing with adults, deliberately breaking rules, or blaming others for their mistakes.
ODD is not caused by poor parenting or discipline—it is a mental health condition that often stems from emotional regulation issues, trauma, or underlying conditions like ADHD or anxiety. Without proper treatment, ODD can interfere with school performance, peer relationships, and family life.
Our team at Silver State is trained to identify and treat the root causes of ODD. Through structure, consistency, and targeted therapy, we help teens learn how to manage their emotions and behavior while supporting families every step of the way.
Signs and Symptoms of ODD in Teens
It can be difficult to know when a teen’s behavior crosses the line from normal moodiness into something more serious. ODD symptoms are typically ongoing and disruptive to daily life at home, school, and in relationships.
Common signs include:
Persistent arguing with parents or teachers
Blaming others for mistakes
Being easily annoyed or angry
Deliberate attempts to upset others
Frequent rule-breaking or refusal to comply
Spiteful, resentful, or vindictive behavior
If these behaviors are frequent, last more than six months, and negatively affect your teen’s ability to function, professional treatment may be needed. At Silver State, we provide a supportive environment where teens can reset and learn new, healthier ways to interact.


Why Individualized Plans Matter for Teens with ODD
Every teen comes to us with a different story, set of behaviors, and underlying emotional challenges. That’s why our treatment for ODD starts with a comprehensive assessment that allows us to understand each teen’s needs and create a fully individualized care plan.
Our approach includes one-on-one therapy, family therapy, group support, academic planning, and behavioral interventions. We focus on helping teens develop emotional regulation, improve decision-making, and build accountability through positive reinforcement and structure.
Parents and caregivers are essential partners in this process. We work closely with families to ensure progress continues beyond our residential program, helping to strengthen the home environment and lay the foundation for lasting success.
The Silver State Adolescent Approach
At Silver State Adolescent Treatment, we don’t just treat the symptoms of ODD—we treat the whole teen. Our program is designed to be structured, therapeutic, and supportive, with a strong emphasis on helping teens understand their behaviors and develop healthier ways to cope.
We use evidence-based therapies such as CBT, DBT, and behavior modification, along with experiential therapies and life skills development. Our multidisciplinary team works together to ensure each teen receives the right combination of emotional support, behavioral guidance, and academic structure.
We also believe in the power of connection. That’s why we place a strong focus on family therapy, group interaction, and relationship-building exercises. Helping teens feel seen, understood, and valued is at the heart of everything we do.
Our goal is simple: to help teens with ODD regain control of their behavior, rebuild family relationships, and gain the confidence they need to thrive—at home, in school, and in life.
