At Horizon Recovery’s Scottsdale Outpatient Center, we offer comprehensive outpatient treatment programs designed to support teens struggling with mental health challenges, substance abuse, and co-occurring disorders. Our specialized teen outpatient care provides structured support while allowing adolescents to continue their education and daily lives.

Standard Outpatient vs. Intensive Outpatient Programs

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) generally require more frequent visits that are more intensive. From 3-5 visits a week, each about 4 hours long, the teen IOP schedule is designed to provide intensive but focused care. Standard outpatient therapy is based on individual needs and progress and can be adjusted as progress is made. Still great therapy, just less intense. Both clinical and holistic therapies are used to promote lasting healing for teens coming through our doors.
