Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Teens in Las Vegas, NV

Mental health disorders are on the rise among adolescents. The pandemic, social media and other stressors have a real impact on your child’s emotional well-being. At Spring Mountain, we provide a supportive, compassionate environment where teens (ages 12 to 17) can share their experiences and develop skills for growth and resiliency.

After-School Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Teens: Why Choose Us?

At our after-school IOP, you’ll find:

National recognition: Spring Mountain has the Gold Seal of Approval® from The Joint Commission. This accreditation means we meet rigorous quality standards for patient care and deliver excellent outcomes.
Parental involvement: Family support is an essential part of your child’s treatment. We educate parents about their child’s diagnosis and provide strategies for helping them cope at home and school.
Group therapy for teens: Intensive group therapy is at the core of IOP for teens. Led by a licensed therapist, group sessions help adolescents share experiences in a nonjudgmental setting. They develop social skills, learn conflict resolution and benefit from peer support.
Connected care: Therapists and psychiatrists work together to tailor the services you need. Their collaborative approach helps you receive well-rounded care supporting your mental and emotional well-being. With guidance from many providers, it’s easier to focus on healing.
Flexibility: If coming to our facility isn’t an option, our telehealth sessions let you meet with your therapist and join groups virtually.

What Is Intensive Outpatient Treatment?

Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is for teens who need mental health care but don’t require 24/7 inpatient or residential treatment. It’s ideal for adolescents who need more structured, intensive therapy than traditional outpatient therapy provides.

Treatments take place three days per week, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. This schedule allows children to use the coping strategies they learn during treatment in their daily lives.

Our IOP can help teens with:

Anxiety
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Depression
Post-traumatic stress disorder
Substance use disorder

If your teen is suicidal, psychotic or poses a danger to themselves or others, they may need emergency psychiatric treatment. Learn about our inpatient treatment for teens in crisis.*
