Multi-family Group
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for teens includes a weekly multi-family group, key to our family-centered teen treatment approach. These sessions unite families, teens, and therapists in a supportive setting for shared learning. The group focuses on psychoeducation, giving families vital knowledge about mental health, addiction, and effective coping skills. Participants find comfort in peer support, realizing they're not alone. Families learn from others facing similar challenges, building a sense of community. This approach boosts treatment engagement, enhances communication skills, and strengthens family dynamics. These elements are crucial in supporting teens through recovery.

DBT Skills Training Group
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based approach designed to reduce emotion dysregulation, impulsive behavior, self-harm and suicidal ideation, and treat other mental health or behavioral issues. The goal of DBT is to help teens change ineffective behavior patterns by learning skills that will help them reach their goals. Our programs include four DBT skills groups a week that cover core mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance. Teens learn a new DBT skill in each group. Our staff help teens practice these skills so that they know how to use them in their daily lives.

SMART Recovery
Based on Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), SMART Recovery (Self-Management and Recovery Training) offers an evidence-based approach designed to help individuals struggling with addiction and provides practical skills to help teens manage their thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Although SMART Recovery is an abstinence-oriented program, it allows flexible goal setting, whether that means reducing certain behaviors with a harm reduction approach or working towards complete sobriety. Unlike the 12-Step model, SMART Recovery offers a more achievable recovery path, giving teens the tools to make positive and sustainable changes in their lives without the pressure of a lifelong commitment.
