Teen & Adolescent Addiction Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)

Guardian Recovery’s PHP provides holistic care that treats the underlying issues that drive teen behaviors, substance use, and mental and emotional concerns. Within a safe and structured environment, teens can identify and address these underlying issues and ultimately build the skills necessary to thrive today, tomorrow, and always.

Additional benefits of our teen PHP include:

• Ongoing Intensive Therapy—Teens participate in individual, group, and family therapy sessions, all of which employ evidence-based care including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), trauma-informed care, eye movement desensitization reprocessing (EMDR), and more. 
• Access to Psychiatric Services—Our PHPs offer medication management and one-on-one meetings with a licensed, on-staff psychiatrist as needed. 
• Safety and Inclusion—Our safe and nurturing environments, which are specifically designed for adolescents, offer healing, a sense of community, and the opportunity for transformational growth.
• Gradual Transition to New Normal—Guardian Recovery’s full continuum of adolescent care allows teens to progress at their own pace and fosters gradual transitions between levels of care. We empower teens to step down to lower levels of care after they’ve built the skills and acquired the coping tools necessary to successfully integrate into their new normal.
• Relapse-Prevention Training—Teens learn to identify and work through their personal relapse triggers.
• Life Skills Development—Our PHP focuses on instilling teens with the life skills they need to thrive on their own—mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually—once treatment comes to an end.
• Family Growth and Healing—Along with regular updates on your child’s progress, we equip families with tools and techniques required to help strengthen relationships, build trust, and promote growth. In addition to psychoeducation and individual and family therapy, we offer engaging family workshops and supportive parent groups to foster continued growth.
• Academic Growth—Our educators regularly communicate with your child’s school to ensure your teen maintains academic progress and can seamlessly transition back to school at the completion of formalized care. In addition, our dedicated educators provide personalized attention and critical interventions to help your child regain or maintain good academic standing.  In effect, we strive to reignite your child’s passion for learning and set them up for long-term success.
• Dual Diagnosis Care—Mental health and substance use disorders often occur concurrently, a phenomenon known as co-occurring disorders or a dual-diagnosis. Given the complex interrelationship between the disorders, best practice is to treat both conditions at the same time. Guardian Recovery offers a host of dual-diagnosis treatment options that treat conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma alongside substance use disorders. 
• Peer Support—Teens have the ability to offer one another peer support, encouragement, and advice based on their personal experiences. Teens also hone their communication skills and develop healthy friendships with one another.
