Clear Recovery Center is now Clear Behavioral Health!

Our Teen Mental Health Treatment Programs

Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) & Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Supporting Teens and Their Families

Teens today are dealing with unique types of challenges — from living in the digital world to struggling with social pressure and identity, it’s not easy and can cause issues with mental health and substance use when attempting to deal with the stress of everyday life.

We’ve created comprehensive teen mental health treatment programs to support you or your teen through these circumstances to create the best outcome for happiness. The Clear Teen treatment programs offer clinical, medical, and experiential therapies, including art, music, mindfulness and writing, as well as helping teens develop healthy relationships as part of their recovery from mental health disorders and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Support, Community and Comprehensive Care

Proven to Heal the Whole Family

We know each teen is unique, and we are proud to provide the best treatment and levels of care catered to them. That’s why Clear’s Adolescent Program offers two unique options:

  • Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
  • Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

We have found family participation is key to sustainable healing. At our PHP and IOP levels of care, we engage families in multi-family therapy groups, monthly family sessions, and weekly family updates. Our approach ensures clients and their families benefit from supportive community alongside our licensed and credentialed experts.

    What people are saying.

      I can’t say enough good things about Clear Behavioral Health. The care that I received was exceptional. The staff are very professional and committed to providing outstanding treatment. They go out of their way to cultivate an atmosphere of compassion, awareness, and recovery.

    • star star star star star

      The multi-pronged approach; the counselors, individual therapy, nutrition, sympathetic/empathetic counselors of each group session shifted my brain paths. You are never finished there, even when you “graduate”, they hold alumni group sessions when you feel you need it. I have nothing but gratitude for their program.

    • star star star star star

      Clear Behavioral Health is my second family that I never knew I had that supported me and continues to passionately support the sober community. The therapists, counselors and group facilitators have been amazing in helping me have a voice, loving myself again, and seeing the world in a new light. I am eternally grateful.

    • star star star star star

      From the get go, the staff made me feel welcome and were all very friendly. My therapist and case manager were also very helpful and supportive throughout the whole process. I found that the somatic therapy was the most valuable for me, the therapist who ran those groups was great. My biggest takeaway from treatment was to take the time to pause, not be afraid to ask for help, and not worry about things in the moment. If you are looking for meaningful change and being part of a new and supportive community, then Clear Behavioral Health is the right fit.

      Overall I loved the experience and did not want to leave. The staff was very helpful and motivated me to stay even when I felt like running away. I also built meaningful connections with my therapist and case manager who gave me a lot of useful advice and are still supporting me today. Since leaving, my family and sponsor have noticed a big difference, and I could not recommend a more supportive environment for addiction and mental health treatment, Clear saved my life.
