Teenagers who attend adolescent Intensive Outpatient Programs have access to a vast amount of treatment that doesn’t come with just one or two appointments per week. When a teenager suffers from poor mental health, it impacts every area of their lives. IOP provides therapists who teach young people to understand how their mental health disorders developed and what can be done to minimize the symptoms. They can work on healing painful events from their past and develop healthy coping skills to use well into their futures.
IOP can help modify the behavior of teenagers who have been acting out in negative ways. What’s learned in the program can result in fewer disciplinary actions needed in school and at home and help the person achieve better grades. Adolescents who need prescription medications have access to them in treatment. This can help stop or reduce many symptoms of poor mental health and allow them to become more motivated to work hard in their therapy sessions.
An teen Intensive Outpatient Program holds treatment sessions Monday through Friday from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM. This consistent schedule of highly effective therapy appointments keeps young people focused on understanding their mental health and improving it. Some of the sessions will be one-on-one and others will involve group therapy. Devoting this amount of time to working on healing their illnesses still leaves time for the young person to keep up with their school work. In fact, once they complete an IOP program, teenagers often do better with their academic work and can begin to plan for an exciting, productive life after they graduate.
Getting treatment at our adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program means having access to world-class, multi-disciplinary care for a variety of mental health disorders. We provide an initial assessment of each individual to determine an accurate diagnosis of their mental illness. As a result, we can plan a schedule of therapy sessions that address their exact needs. We treat the following types of mental health disorders:
Additionally, we offer treatment for dual diagnosis, which is when the person has both a mental health disorder and an addiction to drugs or alcohol.
