Adolescent Services

Adolescence is a period of transition: emotionally, socially, and developmentally. For many teens, these years bring new pressures, increased independence, and moments of uncertainty. They may encounter stress related to academics, peer influence, or changing family dynamics, and, at times, experiment with substances as a way to cope or fit in.

Our Adolescent Outpatient Program meets your teen where they are, addressing challenges and areas for growth through early intervention, therapeutic support, and family involvement.

Our approach helps teens:

• Develop awareness and understanding around substance use and its impact
• Build resilience against peer pressure and everyday stress
• Strengthen confidence, self-awareness, and emotional regulation
• Reconnect with family and peers in healthy, supportive ways
• Navigate academic and social demands with balance and clarity

Finding the right support for your teen can be overwhelming. As a parent, you want your child to feel understood, supported, and equipped to handle life’s challenges. Mountainside’s Adolescent Outpatient Program is led by licensed clinicians who specialize in adolescent development and behavioral health. We take the time to understand your teen’s unique needs, creating a personalized plan that meets them where they are. This individualized approach helps teens and families build trust, strengthen communication, and foster lasting healing and growth.

Our 8-week program combines addiction education, awareness, and prevention with evidence-based wellness therapies and personalized assessments. Through individual, group, and family therapy, we help your teen learn to identify triggers, manage stress, and develop healthy coping strategies in a supportive, structured environment.

To supplement clinical therapy, the program also incorporates wellness practices and engaging extracurricular activities that encourage creativity, teamwork, and self-expression. These non-clinical components help teens build confidence, form positive connections, and apply the tools they’re learning in meaningful, real-world ways.

Rooted in our belief that recovery is love, we go above and beyond because we truly care—about your child, your family, and your future together. Our team leads with compassion, meeting each client with the care, patience, and understanding they need to heal and grow.

Through expert guidance and support, we help your teen uncover their potential, rebuild confidence, and build a foundation for lasting change.

If your teen is struggling—or if you simply want to give them more tools to thrive—our caring team is here to help. Call us to learn more about our Adolescent Outpatient Program and how we can support your family’s next steps toward healing.
