Intensive Outpatient Program
Specialized Outpatient Treatment for Teens (13 - 17) experiencing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges.
Some teens recovering from substance use disorder don’t need a hospital, but still need more than weekly meetings. Rise Recovery’s low or no-cost intensive outpatient program makes recovery possible while they to remain connected to home, school, and daily life.
Does recovery feel too fragile?
When your teen is recovering from substance use, it isn’t uncommon to feel like they’re struggling to stabilize, rebuild, and begin moving forward. They may not need hospital care, but they do still need more structured help than weekly peer meetings. However, such care can be hard to find—or afford—leaving families feeling overwhelmed and unsure what to do. Teens should have access to the care they need to get their lives back on track. That’s where Rise Recovery’s Intensive Outpatient Program comes in.
