Teen Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Arizona

Treatment plans are customized, but most teens participate in IOP for 6–12 weeks, depending on progress and clinical need.

We support teens dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, self-harm, suicidal ideation, ADHD, and substance use (alcohol, marijuana, vaping, etc.).

Yes, we work with most major insurance plans. During your initial intake, we’ll help verify coverage and explain your options clearly.

We offer flexible scheduling, including after-school sessions when possible. Our goal is to reduce barriers to treatment, not create more.

Call us or submit our intake form. We’ll schedule a phone consultation, conduct an assessment, and build a treatment plan that meets your teen’s needs.

Since the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act (MHPAEA) and The Affordable Care Act (ACA) were passed, all U.S. health insurance plans must offer treatment coverage. To find out what your health insurance covers and what your out-of-pocket costs might look like, head to our Insurance Page and submit your details via our secure, confidential form.

We will reply within 24 hours or less with answers.

The first step is an over-the-phone admissions screening. We can often conduct the screening while your health insurance verification of benefits is done. This initial assessment helps us better understand your teen’s needs so we can make treatment recommendations.

Our IOP sessions are currently scheduled Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. (6 hours per week). Both in-person and telehealth are available.

We go the extra mile to support families right from their initial contact with us. Small gestures, such as a comprehensive welcome packet that explains what to expect during treatment, go a long way in making families feel at ease.

Moreover, as a pioneering step in our industry, we’ve introduced a dedicated Family Liaison whose sole responsibility is proactively communicating with families daily as their loved ones progress through treatment.

This is a question we hear often. Most of the teens and adolescents who come to use for mental health treatment or with a substance use disorder are in one of two categories.

1. They have tried weekly or bi-weekly outpatient therapy or counseling but have not made enough progress or they have “plateaued” or stalled in their healing process.

2. They were in crisis and completed a residential inpatient treatment program for teens and are now ready to begin the transition back to everyday life.

The IOP for teens at Horizon Recovery offers more intensive therapeutic care than conventional weekly or bi-weekly outpatient counseling. This makes it a more effective follow-up to residential or inpatient treatment. IOP is also an option for the teen struggling with a mental health challenge who perhaps does not require residential care.

The best place to begin in any case is with an initial phone screening.
