Our Aftercare Program is tailored for adolescents who require ongoing support on their journey, but are prepared for a less intensive level of care. This program offers flexibility, enabling teens to participate in weekly groups while fully engaging in school, family, and other daily responsibilities.

Sustaining Progress with Ongoing Care

Our Outpatient Aftercare Program supports teens and young adults who have completed higher levels of care, such as Partial Care or Intensive Outpatient Programs. This step-down care helps you transition smoothly back into daily life while maintaining progress. With consistent therapeutic guidance and personalized support, clients strengthen coping skills, build confidence in managing mental health, and reinforce recovery in real-world settings. Our flexible approach fosters resilience, stability, and long-term success beyond treatment.
