Our Specialized Programs For Teens & Adolescents in San Diego

PRI offers a few different programs and levels of care for teens, each built around specific ages, concerns, and needs.

TEEN PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM (PHP)
For teens ages 12-18. PHP offers a higher level of daily structure and clinical support than IOP, running Monday through Friday, 8:30am-4pm, for teens who need more consistent, intensive care.
TEEN INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM (IOP)
For teens ages 12-18. IOP provides structured therapeutic support several days a week, allowing teens to stay connected to school, friends, and daily life while they build skills and stability.
ADHD INTENSIVE (AGES 10-13)
A specialized IOP track for neurodiverse children ages 10-13 and their families. The program runs three one-hour sessions, three days a week, over seven to eight weeks, combining skills groups for kids with a parenting support model.

Who Benefits From Structured Day Treatment

Individuals and loved ones often look into structured care when a teen is experiencing: 

  • Persistent anxiety, depression, or mood instability affecting daily life 
  • Difficulty regulating emotions or managing conflict at home or school 
  • Executive functioning challenges, often related to ADHD or neurodivergence 
  • Substance use beginning to interfere with daily functioning 
  • A recent higher level of care and need for a structured step down 

If several of these sound familiar, treatment may be a good next step for your family. 

Our admissions team can help you understand which level of care best fits your situation.
