What Does NexStep Teen Academy's Adolescent Outpatient Program Offer?
NexStep Teen Academy Adolescent Outpatient Programs in Scottsdale offers multiple levels of care tailored to each teen's clinical needs:
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
The most intensive outpatient level, PHP requires teens to be on-site for approximately 40 hours per week. Teens return home each night but participate in structured full-day treatment including individual therapy, group sessions, academic support, and family counseling.
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
A step down from PHP, IOP offers comprehensive support through multiple therapy sessions per week while giving teens more flexibility to re-engage with daily life — school, family, and social activities.
Outpatient Program (OP)
The least intensive level, outpatient care provides ongoing therapeutic support through scheduled sessions. It is ideal for teens who have stabilized and are maintaining progress but still benefit from regular professional guidance.
Across all levels, the NexStep Teen Academy team uses evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), alongside holistic approaches such as mindfulness, art therapy, and family counseling — creating a whole-person treatment plan tailored to every teen.
Does My Teen Need Residential Treatment or Outpatient Care?
This is the question most Scottsdale families ask first. While only a clinical assessment can give a definitive answer, here is a general framework:
Teen residential treatment may be appropriate if your teen:
Is in acute crisis or poses a risk to themselves or others
Has attempted self-harm or has active suicidal ideation
Requires medical detox or 24/7 supervision
Has not responded to outpatient treatment
An adolescent outpatient program may be appropriate if your teen:
Is stepping down from a residential or PHP program
Is stable enough to live at home but needs structured daily support
Is experiencing mental health or substance use challenges that have not yet reached a crisis level
Needs a structured program that also supports continued academic progress
If you are unsure, the NexStep Teen Academy clinical team is available to guide you through the assessment process and help you identify the right level of care for your son or daughter.
