Conduct Disorder (CD) Treatment Program for Teens

Conduct Disorder is a serious behavioral condition that can lead to risky, harmful, and sometimes violent behavior. Teens with CD may break rules, violate the rights of others, and show little remorse for their actions. Without early intervention, these behaviors can lead to academic failure, legal trouble, and long-term consequences.

At Silver State Adolescent Treatment, we provide a structured and therapeutic residential program designed to meet the unique needs of teens with Conduct Disorder. Our environment offers clear expectations, firm but compassionate boundaries, and a focus on personal accountability.

Through a combination of therapy, skill-building, and consistent routines, we help teens reduce harmful behaviors, improve emotional control, and begin making safer, healthier choices.

What is Conduct Disorder (CD)?

Conduct Disorder is a behavioral and emotional condition characterized by a consistent pattern of aggressive, deceitful, or law-breaking behavior. It goes beyond the typical boundary-testing of adolescence and often includes serious violations of social norms and the rights of others.

Common behaviors include physical aggression, cruelty toward people or animals, destruction of property, lying, stealing, and truancy. Teens with CD may appear angry, manipulative, or unemotional, but these behaviors often stem from underlying trauma, attachment issues, or other mental health challenges.

At Silver State, we take a trauma-informed, relationship-based approach. Our goal is to help teens uncover what’s driving their behavior, take responsibility for their actions, and develop the tools they need to change.

Signs and Symptoms of Conduct Disorder (CD)

Conduct Disorder often begins in early adolescence and becomes more serious over time. Warning signs may be mistaken for typical teenage rebellion, but the intensity and consistency of these behaviors signal something deeper.

Common signs include:

  • Persistent lying or stealing

  • Frequent physical fights or bullying

  • Truancy or running away from home

  • Cruelty to animals or others

  • Vandalism or property destruction

  • Lack of empathy or remorse

If your teen exhibits these behaviors regularly and they are escalating, residential treatment may provide the structure and intervention needed to create real change.

Why Individualized Plans Matter for Teens with CD

Teens with Conduct Disorder have unique needs that can’t be addressed through discipline alone. At Silver State, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation to understand each teen’s behavior, emotional state, family dynamics, and any co-occurring mental health concerns.

Each teen receives a personalized treatment plan that includes behavioral therapy, academic support, social skill development, and family involvement. We also provide ongoing evaluation and support to adapt the plan as the teen grows through the program.

Our goal is to help each teen make meaningful progress—not just in how they act, but in how they think, feel, and relate to others. With the right structure, support, and accountability, lasting change is possible.

The Silver State Adolescent Approach

Teens with Conduct Disorder need a high level of structure, supervision, and emotional support. At Silver State, our residential program provides just that—while also offering hope and healing for the whole family.

We use a trauma-informed, evidence-based approach that balances firm expectations with compassion and connection. Our therapists, counselors, and staff work as a team to ensure every teen receives the consistency they need to build trust and grow.

In addition to individual and group therapy, we include family therapy, educational support, and life skills development. We guide teens through real change—teaching them to manage anger, respect others, and build a future they can be proud of.

Healing from Conduct Disorder takes time, but with the right team, the right environment, and a commitment to growth, transformation is possible.
