How to choose the right program for your teen

Deciding between residential treatment, PHP, and IOP for your troubled teen depends on their needs:

  • 🏠 Residential Treatment: Best if your teen requires constant care in a structured setting for severe mental health issues.
  • 🌞 Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): This program is suitable for teens who need daily therapy but can safely be home in the evenings.
  • 🕒 Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): This program is ideal for teens who can handle a more flexible schedule with therapy sessions several times a week. It allows them to continue with school or other daily activities.

Choosing the right program is crucial for your teen’s recovery. We’re here to help you decide and provide the best treatment for your teen. Contact us to explore the most suitable option together.

Specialized care for defiance teens

  • 🌱 Emotional balance: We help teens learn to control anger, frustration, and impulsive reactions, giving them better tools to handle tough emotions.
  • 🏫 Supporting school success: Defiance often affects school performance. We help teens manage school pressures and get back on track academically.
  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Strengthening family ties: We involve the family in therapy, helping parents and teens communicate better and rebuild their relationships.
