PROGRAM HOURS

Our IOP meets three times a week on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 4 to 7 p.m., with one of those days requiring weekly family attendance.

PROGRAM DETAILS

Rolling Hills Hospital Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program serves Adolescents 13 to 17 years old experiencing mental health disorders that are interfering with their daily functioning.

Issues may include:

• Depression or mood disorders
• Anger management
• Oppositional/defiant behaviors
• Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
• Relationship problems with family, peers
• Grief and loss
• Self-endangering or self-injurious behavior
• Poor social skills
• Self-esteem issues
  

The goal of the program is to work in partnership with adolescents and their families to keep teens with emotional, psychiatric, and substance abuse needs in their homes and in the community during the treatment process. We collaborate with families, providers, schools and referral agencies to plan strategies and interventions, which support the adolescent’s appropriate level of functioning at home and in a community setting.

We partner with the adolescent and family to work toward the following outcomes:

• Increase social skills
• Teach coping mechanisms
• Improve frustration tolerance
• Recognize triggers and warning signs
• Teach relapse prevention
• Positive reinforcement to encourage
• Abstinence from alcohol and drug use
• Enhance self-esteem
• Improve impulse control
• Decrease aggression
• Assisting families in managing their child’s behavior most effectively
• Provide families with tools to understand and effectively support recovery
  

Adolescence is complex by itself, and when behavioral health issues emerge, deliberate and sensitive support is needed. Our Adolescent Intensive Outpatient Program can help teens and their families regroup and become more resilient in the face of stress and other difficult circumstances. No person meeting admission criteria will be denied services based on race, religion, handicap, gender, ethnic origin or sexual orientation. All patients are assessed for special needs relative to these areas.
