Incorporated into Your Teen's Life

Being a teenager is hard. This phase of life is a time of discovery, but it can also be confusing and present challenges that are scary and unfamiliar. Unfortunately, nearly half of adolescents experience a mental health disorder at some point.

Without coping skills to manage new challenges and stressors, teams can suffer from significant disorders like anxiety and depression or resort to negative behavior like self-harm. When teens need intervention and support, intensive outpatient programs offer the resources and guidance necessary to promote a healthier and happier lifestyle.

What Is a Teen Intensive Outpatient Program?

An intensive outpatient program is one that treats individuals with structured therapy in a flexible schedule. Teens can participate in individual, group and family therapy sessions to find support in dealing with mental health disorders. Program providers will generally require individuals to attend sessions multiple days a week for several hours. These programs offer more support than traditional outpatient therapy and provide a variety of therapy types to help teens develop coping skills, independence and healthier behaviors.

What Disorders Can These Programs Treat?

Teens combating various mental health disorders can find support from intensive outpatient programs:
‍

Anxiety
Depression
Suicidal thoughts
Mood swings
Emotional outbursts
Self-harming behaviors
Other mood disorders and mental health conditions

Outpatient Programs vs. Residential Treatment

When teens need additional support beyond weekly therapy sessions or want support after leaving an inpatient facility, two options are available to support them — outpatient and residential treatment.
Although both offer immense support, there are fundamental differences between the two.

Adolescent intensive outpatient rehab occurs in environments away from the home. Program providers often use an organizational facility for all types of therapeutic treatment, whether individual or group. At the end of the session or activity, the individual will go home for the night.

Alternatively, residential treatment occurs in an individual's home. This can be beneficial for those who need more supervised care and feel more comfortable in their familiar environment. Residential treatment offers many of the same benefits as intensive outpatient programs while allowing teens to access personalized support where they're most comfortable.

Why Trust Destinations for Teens?

At Destinations for Teens in California, we offer residential treatment options to support your teen's recovery. With us, you can expect:
‍

Healing through personalized treatment: We're committed to helping teens heal through personalized treatments that meet their needs and support their goals. Our teens attend creative, individual and group therapy sessions, and we encourage parents to participate in family therapy sessions. We integrate 12 steps into our treatment plans, and our certified drug and alcohol counselors work individually with each teen who needs support.
‍Education commitment: We work with your teen’s school to ensure support. Our academic team will assist your teen in catching up, staying on track and moving ahead with their education. Your teen's commitment to academics will remain strong through continuing education at Destinations.
‍Alumni support: Having been in their shoes, our alumni are great mentors for teens. Weekly meetings with our alumni allow teens in treatment to see how others cope with mental health and addiction disorders. Once a teen transitions into the alumni program, he or she has learned how to maintain sobriety. However, they now have a strong support system to lean on moving forward.
‍Parental involvement: Our teen treatment programs rely on parental involvement. Our team works with you to create a therapeutic schedule to support your teen's journey. You'll meet their entire care team, including the education director, nurse, family therapist, clinical director and individual therapist. You'll understand each team member's role and how they'll interact with your teen. You'll also attend therapeutic sessions to foster a supportive family environment as your teen adjusts to their healthier lifestyle.
