What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
A teen Intensive Outpatient Therapy (IOP) is a therapeutic approach that does not require a young person to live at a mental health facility 24/7 – they get to stay home, attend counseling sessions, and join support groups. In case you tried other types of therapies, such as after-school therapy for teens, and they were not successful, consider giving IOP a chance.
What Are the Benefits of an IOP?
Here are a few advantages of IOP programs for adolescent mental health our mental health center can provide:
We understand the importance of continued education in outpatient care which is why we will find an effective way to treat a teenager and guide them continuously while they attend school without taking a long break from their studies.
Adolescent behavioral health support would not yield successful results if mental health professionals were not dedicated to treating their young patients with compassion and respect.
Social isolation is often the consequence of addiction and depression - both individual and group counseling will teach the teenager how to interact with others and stop feeling self-conscious.
Our therapists will address the causes of mental health issues and strengthen the relationship between the adolescent’s body and mind as they begin their mental health journey.
Structured outpatient mental health care is rarely possible without the commitment of a teenager's parents to the improvement of their well-being - we will work closely with the young person’s family to achieve the therapy goals.
It does not mean the person no longer needs to take care of themselves when the last therapy session is over. During counseling sessions, the adolescent will learn coping mechanisms they can implement long-term and remain emotionally stable for years to come.
Our Approach to Intensive Outpatient
From classic therapeutic approaches such as counseling sessions to more modern forms of psychological treatment such as CBT and DBT in outpatient settings, we offer a variety of therapy options to our young patients:
Individual Therapy
In most cases, a teen struggling with a mental health condition feels misunderstood and alone. Individual counseling can be the solution - private talks with a mental health professional are often the first step towards partial or full recovery, in particular in dual-diagnosis outpatient programs.
Group Therapy
Adolescents can join a support group where teenagers with the same or similar issues get to discuss what caused the disorder and how to cope with it. Besides, a lonely teen can use this opportunity to make new friends and benefit from peer support in an intensive outpatient program.
Family-Focused Outpatient Therapy
It is important to work with teenagers and their closest family members to accomplish the goals of therapy. The entire family will get our support during the outpatient treatment.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Teenagers frequently feel overwhelmed with their feelings - they do not know why they react to different circumstances the way they do, which is why our specialists will teach them to manage their emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Many mental health issues are triggered by harmful thoughts that influence the behavior of the person - and they may not even realize it without a therapist. We will help a teenager to address negative thought patterns and look for positives in their everyday life.
Mindfulness-Based Practices
Visualization, breathing exercises, meditation, art therapy - all these tools are essential in trauma-focused outpatient care to let the teenager develop a sense of security.
