What Can Teens Expect During Treatment?
Substance Abuse Treatment: Tailored for The Teen Brain
Mental Health & Substance Abuse Evaluation
We understand that teenage substance abuse is often driven by underlying mental health problems and trauma. When your teen arrives for treatment, they will be given a comprehensive substance abuse evaluation and mental health assessment to identify what treatment is most appropriate for their needs.
Family-Focused Care
We recognize the importance of family in the recovery journey. We encourage parents to stay involved in their teen's treatment process for an increased success rate. Through therapies, activities, and skill-building workshops, we focus on equipping teens with the tools to repair damaged relationships, manage conflict, and form connections.
Evidence-Based Therapies
Our IOP program meets 3x a week for 3-hour sessions. Teens will participate in individual, group, and family therapy. Services may include CBT, DBT. Our licensed clinicians will help teens modify negative thinking patterns that drive substance abuse, then set treatment goals, and develop positive coping strategies.
Relapse Prevention
Throughout our program, we focus on relapse prevention skills by helping teens build a strong support system for them, and coping skills to help them stay substance-free during times of stress. This may include involving family or friends in the recovery process, ensuring teens meet academic requirements during their stay, and connecting them to a peer recovery network.
Medication Management
During IOP treatment, your teen will meet weekly with our board-certified psychiatrist to address underlying mental health challenges through medication management. When they first enter our treatment program, we look at the medication they are already on—adjusting prescriptions and dosages as needed. Medication combined with therapy can significantly improve treatment outcomes.

Academic Program
Lotus Behavioral Health holds both treatment and academics as equally important. We understand many teens who enter treatment fall behind in school, creating extra challenges when they transition back to their community. Teens in our program spend time in the classroom each day while continuing to make progress in their recovery.
