TEEN INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAMS FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
Our adolescent IOP programs are designed to support teens experiencing substance use or mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD, while allowing them to stay in school.
Our teen intensive outpatient program meets roughly 10 - 16 hours per week. Treatment includes academic help, family sessions, group therapy sessions, and weekly community activities. Each teen also receives one-on-one attention through individual therapy sessions and family therapy sessions.
Our Holistic Approach
Our holistic program considers a teen’s social, emotional, and physical development and the unique needs of teens overcoming substance use while their brains are still growing. The best way to help your teen to heal is to ensure that they are understood in their unique stage of life. That’s why we provide individualized, treatment programs entirely centered on what matters most for your teen. We focus on developing good social and academic habits, while also focusing on strengthening the entire family while your child is involved in our outpatient program for teens.
Signs Your Teen Needs Outpatient Treatment
Teenagers are at a difficult stage of life, and sometimes it can be difficult to tell as a parent whether your child’s struggles are normal. It’s crucial to be able to get your child the help they need early, so that they can find coping skills before their symptoms become overwhelming.
Some signs that your teen could benefit from substance use or mental health treatment include:
Online Treatment Programs
Our virtual IOP program offers the same programming that we offer in person, all online – this is ideal for those who live too far to drive to an addiction center, have transportation issues, or have health concerns that make in-person treatment challenging.
Parent Involvement
Parents are encouraged to attend multi-family group sessions which are held once a week as part of your teens outpatient services. There are also weekly individual family support groups available for all family members to attend.
Topics covered in group include:
How We Are Different
We understand that your teen’s substance abuse and mental health issues can make it feel overwhelming to function as a family. The last thing you want to do is dive into a brand new world of treatment options and providers. We want you to feel as confident as possible moving forward, so we’ve compiled a list of the benefits we provide that set us apart from treatment you can find anywhere else.
Our teen outpatient programs specialize in addressing the unique pressures, challenges, and developments that your child faces during this stage of their life.
Small Group Sizes - Our intensive outpatient treatment groups are kept small on purpose so that your teen will have the one-on-one attention they need.
Individualized Treatment Plans - We do not offer a “one-size-fits-all” intensive outpatient program for teens. Instead, your child will have a personalized treatment plan that is centered on their unique challenges, circumstances, and goals.
Academic and Vocational Support - Mental health and substance use issues take a toll on your child’s school life. In our teen outpatient treatment, they will have the opportunity to get extra academic support after school from our licensed teachers.
The Family Component - When your child is struggling, the entire family feels it. That’s why we offer therapy and support groups for every single family member to ensure that you all are taken care of throughout this process.
Our specialists are centered on age-specific care, which means the understand how substance use and mental health impact your teen’s brain development. Your teen’s treatment team will collaborate with your family to create a personalized plan that helps your teen feel heard, hopeful, and healed.

MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY GROUPS
We believe in personalized and specialized care. Unlike generic treatment approaches, we understand that each person’s circumstances are unique.
Using thorough assessments, our staff will gain a deeper understanding of your teen’s background, challenges, and goals. We then equip your family with the necessary tools to support your teen’s recovery journey as they move through programming.
With our continuum of care, your teen will receive the right level of support at every stage. Whether they need intensive care, or just a few hours of outpatient treatment a week, our expert team will collaborate with you to find what works best for you and your child.
Signs Your Teen Needs Treatment
As a parent or guardian, it’s important to be aware of signs that may indicate your teen needs mental health treatment. Red flag symptoms include:
Learning Through Fun and Experiential Treatment
Your teen doesn’t want to sit on a couch all day talking to a stranger with a clipboard — and neither do we!
While talk therapy helps teens confront their mental health problems, research shows that getting up and moving expedites the healing process. Your teen’s
well-being is deeply impacted by fun and exploration.
That’s why our programs include various experiential therapies such as art therapy, yoga, physical activities, and outdoor adventures. These experiences supplement traditional treatment methods to help your teen become their happiest, healthiest self.
