Outpatient
Offers Holistic Adolescent & Teen Outpatient Programs
Adolescents and families require a comprehensive and supportive approach to address mental health issues, and this is where C.A.S.T.S comes in. Our teen outpatient program provides hope and assistance to teens struggling with mental health and co-occurring disorders. Our program offers three levels of care to ensure that each teen receives the right level of support: Intensive Outpatient Program, Partial Hospitalization Program, and Outpatient Services. Our evidence-based treatment focuses on trauma, depression, anxiety, and substance abuse.
Benefits of Teen Outpatient Programs CC at (C.A.S.T.S)

Robust Clinical Model
At C.A.S.T.S, we understand that the root cause of mental health issues often stems from underlying trauma and attachment wounds. Our programs are tailored to a young person’s crucial moments of development and offer a blend of clinical, experiential, and academic/life skills modalities. An in-depth assessment informs a personalized treatment plan for each client.

Healing The Whole Family
We believe that family involvement is crucial for sustainable healing, and that’s why our clinical model focuses on the family as the solution rather than the individual as the problem. We aim to strengthen connections and build self-compassion, resilience, healthy coping skills, and trusting relationships with parents and peers.

Signs That My Child Might Benefit from Outpatient Programs
-
Expressing anxiety about school and peer relationships
- Struggling academically for over a year
- Withdrawal from friends and activities they once enjoyed
- Regular expressions of hopelessness or sadness
- Unmotivated and unfocused
- Signs of drug abuse or self-harm
- Weekly therapy isn’t making a difference
Timely intervention is crucial to prevent a mental health crisis and address these issues before they worsen.
Types of Teen Outpatient Treatment
At C.A.S.T.S, we offer three options for teen outpatient treatment to cater to each teen’s unique needs:

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
This level of care is ideal for teens who require more support than an hour of therapy a week but do not qualify for a residential program. Our PHP provides comprehensive care five days a week, including individual therapy, group therapy, experiential therapy, and academic support. Teens return home at the end of each day.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
FOur IOP provides ongoing care and community for teens who are still attending school during the day. With the flexibility to reduce or expand programming as needed, IOP is perfect for teens who are making progress in recovery and need continued support.

Outpatient Services
Our teen outpatient program is the lowest level of care, with fewer than five sessions a week. This option is ideal for teens who are making progress in recovery and need less support.
At C.A.S.T.S, we strive to provide holistic and comprehensive care to help teens and families heal. If you or your loved one is struggling with mental health, our team is here to support you.
