Intensive Treatment Programs - Help for Troubled Teens
The troubled teen Partial Hospital Program (PHP) and the
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) are intensive programs designed
to help troubled teens between 13 and 21 years-old who are experiencing acute
behavior, emotional and/or psychiatric symptoms.
Partial Hospital Program (PHP)
The PHP helps troubled teens learn to manage their symptoms in a
supportive, structured environment. Five days a week, six hours a day,
PHP clients attend group therapy sessions to help them reduce
their symptoms, learn relaxation and impulse-control techniques, and
build their self-esteem. The program also includes group therapy,
socialization activities, and vocational and educational support. Each
client receives individualized treatment from a team comprised of a
doctor, therapist, and a case manager, which works closely with the
client's primary therapist, psychiatrist, school, and family.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
For troubled teens who don't need such intensive care, but may not
be quite ready to return to school, the IOP offers clients the
opportunity to attend the PHP's group sessions for only half a
day. This program helps troubled teens transition out of intensive care and back
into the community.
All insurance, including RIte Care, is accepted.
