Intensive Outpatient Care for Teens: Empowering Growth, Strengthening Families

Who We Help:
Our IOP is ideal for teens who are:

  • Managing mental health issues like anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, suicidality, or self-harm.
  • Struggling at home or school but do not require hospitalization.
  • Transitioning from a hospital or residential care setting and need ongoing, structured support.
  • Seeking to prevent the need for hospitalization.

Our IOP Offers:

  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) groups to build resilience and healthy coping skills.
  • Weekly family therapy led by experienced clinicians to improve communication and relationships.
  • Experiential therapies that enhance emotional growth and social skills.
  • Coordination with referring behavioral and medical providers for seamless care integration.

Program Benefits:

  • Flexible Treatment: Teens participate in therapeutic activities while maintaining school and extracurricular commitments, ensuring continuity in their daily lives.
  • Peer Support: Group therapy fosters connection, reduces isolation, and provides a safe space for sharing and learning.
  • Family Involvement: Family therapy sessions strengthen relationships and support the recovery process.

How to Refer:
Camino a Casa is in-network with most commercial insurance plans including Medi-Cal in Santa Barbara County.

Our child found calm and support during a critical time, and we are incredibly thankful for this program. While we hope we won’t need it again, it’s comforting to know it’s available if we do. I deeply appreciate the Camino a Casa staff member who met with us at the hospital when we felt out of options. They took the time to understand our needs and guide us toward resources, including the IOP.”
