Intensive
Outpatient Treatment Program for Adolescents:
| |
The
Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program is a highly structured,
therapeutic program for adolescents between 12 and 17 years of age.
Applying findings from assessments, the staff designs a course of
treatment with a focus and length of stay specific to each adolescent’s
needs. The plan allows teens to capitalize on their strengths and
to grow in targeted areas of life among peers and a caring, experienced
staff. Family support and commitment are crucial to treatment progress.
This program serves adolescents who are experiencing family, school
and social difficulties due to moderate to severe:
|
| |
* |
Behavior
issues (such as school difficulties, oppositional/defiant behavior,
poor impulse control and self-harm) |
| |
|
|
| |
* |
Psychiatric
disorders (such as major mood disorders, psychotic problems, developing
personality disorders and anxiety disorders) |
| |
|
|
| |
* |
Substance
abuse or more than one diagnosis such as chemical dependency accompanied
by depression |
| |
|
|
| |
Adolescents
in the program may have been hospitalized before, although prior
hospitalization is not required for program participation. Additionally,
adolescents that are not making the desired progress in other less
intensive treatment settings may benefit from the program. For this
program, teens must be capable of actively participating in their
treatment.
The Adolescent Intensive
Outpatient Program is supported by the resources of IntraCare Hospital,
known for providing high quality, ethical and cost effective services
in a safe and responsive environment. Patients in the Adolescent
Intensive Outpatient Program who need additional services can easily
access other levels of treatment. |

Under
the direction of a psychiatrist, an individualized treatment plan
is prepared for each client. Process groups are the core therapeutic
interventions and are complimented by multi-family groups, didactic
groups and individual and family therapies. Master’s level
therapists and psychological assistants provide the daily programming
for the Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program. The treatment team
works closely with Dr. Nilesh Patel, a board-certified psychiatrist,
who assists with the treatment planning process and is available
to meet any medication needs of our clients.
The Intensive Outpatient Program is designed to help clients learn
new skills and develop more positive attitudes to improve their
relationships and function in a healthier manner with their families,
in school and in the community.
