Adolescent Services
Adolescents deserve special attention. Our program for ages 12 to 17 is based on the strong belief that mental health treatment is not one-size-fits-all and the best care for teens and pre-teens differs from treatment for adults. By treating this age group separately, we give them the individualized attention they need.
The Oceans Experience
Oceans’ inpatient programs support adolescents in a structured environment with positive reinforcement and skill building. Specialized treatment plans include individual, group and family therapy, as well as therapeutic recreational activities.
Some locations also offer an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for adolescents needing part-time therapy. For students requiring the structured environment of a typical school day, these options offer a daily routine built around each individual’s needs, providing a consistent schedule while students are out of school.
