Teen Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program
Comprehensive IOP care proven to help teens and families
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) treatment for teens is a specialized and structured level of care that provides adolescents with more support than weekly therapy or psychiatry. Our teen IOP program is designed to meet the unique needs of adolescents struggling with mental health issues. IOP treatment is considered a lower level of care and provides a more flexible schedule than Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), allowing teens to receive 9 to 15 hours of support each week that focuses on growth, recovery, and long-term mental health.
The comprehensive teen outpatient program at Clear Behavioral Health combines clinical, medical, and experiential therapies, like art, music, mindfulness, and writing to help teens heal from mental health disorders and unhealthy coping mechanisms, including trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance use. Our teen IOP program provides evidence-based care to help adolescents build self-worth and collaborative relationships while addressing the root cause of any behavioral health challenges.
A pillar of our teen program is family engagement. We understand that family participation is key to sustainable healing. Throughout our teen program, we engage families in multifamily therapy groups, monthly family sessions, and ongoing family communication. This holistic approach ensures clients and their families benefit from our supportive community and heal together alongside our expert care team.
