What should you expect from IOP for Teens?
In Teen IOP you will learn effective skills and behaviors to support your emotional self-regulation during activities led by our compassionate therapy providers. We will help you identify and work towards achieving your goals.
We use structured therapies so you know what to expect at each session and can track your success.
Our 8-week program meets three times weekly and targets coping with difficult emotions, mindfulness practice, distress tolerance, effective communication, and building confidence. Teen IOP offers you the ability to receive treatment while still living at home and without disrupting your life.
What does group therapy look like?
Teen IOP participants attend young teen groups (ages 13-15) or older teen groups (ages 16-18). Specific age-related concerns such as school and academic performance, family interactions, building effective communication, emotional self-regulation, conflict in relationships, and mood disturbances are some of the topics addressed.
Teen IOP is an effective treatment option after completing a partial hospitalization program, residential treatment or inpatient psychiatric care. Teen IOP is also effective as a treatment prior to participation in a higher level of care such as those mentioned above.
