Your Voice. Your Choice. Our Team.
A Stronger Step Than Weekly Therapy
When a Skokie teen is missing school, withdrawing from family life, or struggling to regain stability, parents often need a clear conversation about what kind of support comes next.
IOP provides structured treatment several times each week while allowing your teen to continue living at home and, when appropriate, remain connected to school and everyday routines. It can be a step up from weekly therapy or a step down from PHP or residential care.
Does My Teen Need More Support?
Look At Safety, School, And Daily Functioning Together
IOP may be considered when a teen needs more therapeutic contact than weekly sessions provide but can remain safe and supported at home between program days. We look at current symptoms, school functioning, family support, and recent treatment history together.
- Tell us what feels urgent or different right now.
- Review what your teen has already tried and what helped.
- Compare the structure of IOP with the support available at home.

Care Near Skokie
A Care Conversation For Skokie-Area Families
Adolescent PHP and IOP are available through our Northbrook center. Depending on your teen’s needs, we can also talk through Chicago programming, outpatient care, or residential support in Matteson.
- Adolescent programming is designed for ages 13-18.
- Level-of-care recommendations follow a clinical conversation.
- Family involvement and transition planning are part of the care path.
Treatment Should Match What Your Teen Needs Now
IOP Can Support Both Step-Up And Step-Down Care
A teen may enter IOP after weekly therapy is no longer enough, or use it as a transition after PHP or residential treatment. Our goal is to help the level of support change as your teen becomes more stable.
