Our adolescent IOP at Genesis Behavioral Health Services is a structured mental health treatment plan designed for teenagers who need extra support managing emotional, behavioral, or substance-related challenges. This unique program offers intensive mental health treatment and serves as a middle ground between inpatient hospitalization and traditional outpatient therapy, allowing adolescents to remain active in school and family life while still receiving thorough mental health care.
At our IOP in Baton Rouge, your teen can expect to receive comprehensive, multi-faceted treatment facilitated by our licensed clinicians who specialize in adolescent care. Everyone’s mental health is different, and treatment will be tailored to your child’s unique needs.
During our Baton Rouge IOP program at Genesis Behavioral Health Services, your teen will visit our office three times a week for several hours a day to receive comprehensive, compassionate mental health care. Our IOP program uses family therapy, mindfulness training, emotional processing, and skill-building, focusing on topics such as:
A typical treatment plan may include a combination of group therapy, individual therapy, and medication management. This aims to offer holistic and well-rounded healing through several modalities for ongoing success. Our clinicians also collaborate with our patients’ schools, psychiatrists, and families to ensure comprehensive and collaborative healing.
Good candidates in Baton Rouge for our IOP will be teenagers transitioning out of residential or inpatient care who may need more structure than traditional outpatient therapy can provide. This may include those who need help coping with stress, managing mental health symptoms, adjusting to life changes, or staying on track with sobriety. IOP offers extra structure, guidance, and therapy to help your teen regain stability and move forward with resilience.
Ideal candidates will be committed to improving their mental health and motivated to spend a significant amount of time at our clinic for several weeks. A strong support system is essential for achieving a positive outcome. To encourage this support, we enlist parents and families in the treatment plan whenever appropriate.
To learn whether your child is a candidate for our IOP, schedule an initial consultation with one of our dedicated clinicians who will meet with you to discuss your teen’s medical and psychiatric history and goals for treatment. We can then assess your teen’s candidacy and develop a structured treatment plan within the guidelines of evidence-based IOP care.
At Genesis Behavioral Health Services, we understand that for adolescents who need mental health support, it can be important to achieve effective care without disrupting daily routines. This balance is upheld through our adolescent intensive outpatient program (IOP) in Baton Rouge, as teenagers have access to transformative support that does not require them to leave their home or families.
