- 12-Weeks Program
Two Paths To Recovery
Both programs use Clinical Best Practices and Evidence-Based clinical approaches. Your child can start at any time and receive personalized recovery support designed specifically for teens and adolescents.
PHP
Juvenile Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
Our adolescent PHP provides intensive, structured treatment while allowing youth to remain connected to their home environment. This level of care supports teens who need more than outpatient services but do not require residential placement.
Schedule
Monday–Friday | 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Duration
Typically 8–12 weeks (based on clinical need)
Best For
Youth who need intensive, structured daily support and supervision
- Daily group therapy (CBT, DBT, Seeking Safety)
- Individual counseling sessions
- Case management and family coordination
- Equine-assisted therapy
- Psychoeducation and life skills training
- Relapse prevention and coping skills
- Academic support/GED assistance
- Therapeutic recreational activities
IOP
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adults serves as a vital clinical layer that bridges the gap between high-acuity residential care and standard outpatient counseling. This program is designed to deliver rigorous, evidence-based treatment.
Schedule
Generally consists of 9 to 19 hours of clinical engagement per week.
Duration
Often spans 8 to 12 weeks.
Best For
Youth who need intensive, structured daily support and supervision
- Evidence-Based Therapy: Heavy utilization of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address maladaptive thought patterns and emotional dysregulation.
- Relapse Prevention: Developing specialized "toolkits" for identifying triggers and managing high-risk situations in real-world environments.
- Group Processing: A cornerstone of the IOP model, group therapy fosters peer support and reduces the isolation often associated with mental health and substance use struggles.
- Care Coordination: Integration with 49Alpha’s broader network to ensure a seamless transition for those stepping down from a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) or stepping up from individual therapy.
