Outpatient Program at My Teen Mental Health
Unlike many other forms of treatment, therapy for teens in outpatient care means an adolescent patient gets to live at home and maintain a balance between their day-to-day duties and recovery. Whether a teenager attends educational classes to improve their mental wellness or gets into one of the short-term outpatient programs for teens to work privately with a therapist, our institution can ensure we will do our best for an adolescent who needs psychological help.
What Is an Outpatient Program (OP)?
An Outpatient Program (OP) is a therapeutic approach that does not require the patient to stay at the medical facility while they are receiving treatment for their mental health disorders and substance abuse issues. Instead of residing in rehab, a person in need of psychological assistance can seek treatment while continuing their daily activities. As one of the behavioral health outpatient centers, we provide teenagers with much-needed flexibility – reach out to us to learn more about affordable outpatient care options.
What Are the Benefits of an OP?
Whether your teenage child struggles with addiction or a mental disorder, here are a few advantages of outpatient programs you should consider before committing to this treatment plan:
When it comes to adolescent outpatient mental health therapy, it is essential to pay attention to the emotional and physical needs of the patient and address all the issues they may have instead of attempting to get rid of a single symptom.
It is crucial to involve the closest family members of a young person in the process of treatment - for instance, they can be the best source of emotional support for a person undergoing trauma-focused therapy for teens.
After the initial assessment carried out by our therapists, a young person will receive recommendations for the treatment that suits them the most. There is no one-size-fits-all treatment strategy that works for everyone without an exception, so we will find something that helps a teenage kid in the long run.
Instead of remaining under the supervision of mental health professionals 24/7, a young patient can get access to therapy that does not interfere with their responsibilities and activities - in some instances, they will also have an opportunity to combine our programs with school-supported mental health therapy.
We are dedicated to ensure the happiest and healthiest future of every adolescent that receives therapeutic treatment at our facilities - the continuity of therapy is of particular importance when a teenager follows one of the dual-diagnosis outpatient programs.
It can be highly beneficial for an adolescent to see they are not alone - there are other people whose experience lets them feel heard and understood. The patient can attend counseling sessions with their peers and boost their social skills while also recovering.
Our Approach to Outpatient Treatment
Although we will need to meet the patient in order to pick the right treatment, you can check out a few of the treatment options we provide before contacting us:
Individual Counseling
This continues to be the most effective way to let the teen open up about their struggles, discover coping mechanisms, and find a safe space to talk about their feelings without shame or judgment.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
A component of numerous anxiety-focused outpatient programs - a teenage patient will be able to recognize and change harmful thought patterns that do not allow them to heal.
Group Therapy
Many behavioral issues can be resolved through group therapy - teens often feel isolated, so making new friends they can relate to on a deeply personal level can lead them to a breakthrough in their mental health journey.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Young people have very intense emotions they cannot cope with but with the assistance of our specialists, an adolescent patient will know how to manage these feelings and create positive change in their life.
Aftercare Therapy
This can be necessary after the therapeutic rehabilitation is over - some mental disorders cannot be fully treated, and addiction may haunt the person forever, so it is crucial to remain vigilant.
Virtual Therapy
It is important to us to meet our patients’ needs and adapt treatment programs for their convenience, which is why we also offer virtual therapy - therapeutic intervention is possible even if the teen communicates with the therapist using electronic devices.
