Dixon Inpatient Teen & Adolescent Depression Treatment
Compassionate Care for Teens with Depression
Key Healthcare’s depression treatment program can help Dixon adolescents struggling with severe depression and other mental health issues. Depression affects each teenager differently, so we provide different levels of care to treat their condition. Our treatment plans are not generic. They are carefully personalized to address your teen’s unique challenges and help them progress in a way that suits them best. Because what you see in your teens may not be just teen angst.
Our clinical approach is adaptive and results-driven. Our team of pediatricians, therapists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and psychologists works closely to uncover the “why” behind your teen’s depression. And the “how” to move them forward. We combine evidence-based therapeutic modalities to help your teen overcome their situation.
Plus, more than just symptom relief, we focus on building sustainable skills your teen can take with them beyond our care. And when it’s time to leave our teen depression treatment center, we don’t leave your teen guessing. We build an aftercare plan and provide a list of trusted resources (of Dixon) so your teen continues feeling supported at home, school, and beyond.

What to Expect During Our Dixon Teen Depression Treatment Program
As a parent, knowing what to expect during a teen depression treatment program can help ease your apprehension and make it easier to support your teen through the same feelings. But how?
- It all starts with us providing you with clear details about the program, treatment philosophies, and admission process.
- After the initial orientation, we move toward the assessment and pre-admission stage.
- Here, we thoroughly evaluate your teen’s medical history and cultural background. We also conduct psychological tests to understand their mental health and behavior.
- As a parent, you are a key part of this process, sharing insights about your teen’s struggles.
- The results of this assessment will help us create the best treatment plan for your teen.
- Once your teen is accepted, the admission process begins. Here, we will guide you through all the steps, including paperwork, finances, and logistics.
- Our Dixon teen depression treatment program will be tailored to meet your teen’s specific needs, addressing the condition they are being treated for.
However, during their stay with us, here’s a list of common therapies your teen will participate in.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Teens will have an individual therapy session with a skilled counselor every week. During these individual therapy sessions, they'll be able to analyze their emotions, gain insight into their thoughts and behaviors, and how they can break their negative thinking pattern.
GROUP THERAPY
Group therapy is a core component of our treatment program. During these group therapy sessions, teens can share their experiences and learn from their peers in a safe and supportive environment.
HOLISTIC AND RECREATION THERAPIES
We don't just rely on conventional treatment. We take it a step further by offering a mix of holistic and experiential therapies such as yoga, art therapy, surf therapy, hiking, music therapy, and equine-assisted therapy. These activities are specially designed to help teens manage their stress, find a sense of self, build confidence, and uncover new passions.
NUTRITION AND EXERCISE
We integrate the essentials of nutrition and physical activity into each day. With daily access to 3 nutritional meals, healthy snacks, and exercise resources, we ensure every aspect of a teen's health is nurtured. It's about empowering them to take steps toward lasting wellness.
FAMILY CENTERED TREATMENT
The entire family plays a crucial role in our teen depression treatment program. Our experienced therapists help families address communication issues between their teens, build healthy boundaries, and learn new ways to cope. These steps are crucial in supporting their teen's long-term recovery.
FDA APPROVED DRUGS
Anti-depressants are proven effective for treating clinical depression. If a teen is going through the early depression stage, they are recommended for FDA-approved drug treatments. But the teen needs to be closely monitored throughout treatment about their behavioural changes and occurrence of suicidal thoughts in the early weeks of treatment.
Teen Dual Diagnosis Treatment
Our Depression Program for Dixon Teenagers
At Key Healthcare, we provide different levels of care for teens to address the underlying causes of their depression. During our depression treatment program, you can expect your teen to attend individual and group therapy sessions, participate in family counseling, receive academic support, and participate in social activities. Throughout their program, your teen will learn to understand the causes behind their mental health condition and develop the coping skills to effectively manage them.
Intensive Outpatient
Our adolescent intensive outpatient program (IOP) is for teens who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require the intensive level of care provided by PHP. This program provides structure and support that helps teens build healthy habits and become independent in their recovery.
Partial Hospitalization
Our adolescent partial hospitalization program (PHP) is a step down from residential treatment that helps teens transition back into the community. This program provides intensive therapy services as well as academic support and social activities to help teens reintegrate into their home and school environments.
Residential Treatment
Our teen residential treatment program takes place over 45-60 days. This dual-diagnosis program helps teen overcome their addiction and mental health issues through the use of evidence-based therapies. Our compassionate care allows teens to focus on their recovery in a safe and supportive environment fit for positive change.

About Key Healthcare
Teen Healing Insights
Key Healthcare is an amazing teen residential treatment program. Our son was struggling with marijuana addiction, serious anxiety, depression, was not listening, and had no motivation. We have tried 2 other teen therapy options, but Key Healthcare is what our son has responded to the best by far. Their teen inpatient program has a really cool and inviting environment, with really great therapists, and the staff were all very friendly, and caring. The family therapy sessions were very valuable to our family as well. My son didn’t feel like he was going to therapy when he was at key healthcare. They provided educational structure for him to get his schoolwork done and he took part in group therapy which he spoke positively about.
Really great therapists and staff at this teen treatment program. Very nice inpatient facility, I highly recommend Key Healthcare for families of teenagers dealing with mental health issues or depression.
I highly recommend key healthcare to any family that has a teen struggling. Friend of mine sent their teen to the teen residential program, which drastically helped their son, and family life. We ended up sending our daughter to key healthcare’s iop as well and she got an extremely high level of therapy, which she resonated with. We saw a huge shift in our daughter after she completed their teen rehab.
As a treatment professional, I am so grateful for the team at Key! My students have found the mentoring/coaching services to be so incredibly supportive. The mentors are so good at connecting with students, engaging them in positive healthy activities and steering them towards building healthy skills. The parent coaching adds such a strong element. When combined with inpatient therapy. Thanks to all the team at Key!

Dixon Teen Therapist & Counselors
One of the most effective turning points we witness in our program is when teens understand that they already possess the inner strength and capacity to tackle their problems. This realization is often life-changing. It fills them with a renewed (sense of) confidence and significantly boosts their self-esteem and overall well-being. And a key approach to helping teens discover this inner strength is by separating their identity from the issues they face. In Narrative Therapy, this is known as “externalizing the problem.” A method that frames the problem as something outside of them rather than something that defines them. It’s a small shift with a profound impact.
Especially for teens who are suffering from anxiety, narrative therapy can offer meaningful relief. This approach provides a judgment-free space where they can safely reflect on their thoughts and emotions. By exploring the personal narratives they’ve constructed about their lives, teenagers can uncover how past events influence their anxiety today. Narrative therapy views anxiety as a reaction to circumstances rather than a permanent part of their identity. With this understanding, teens are empowered to reshape their narratives and discover strategies to reduce their anxiety.
However, it is important to note that the goal of narrative therapy is not to suppress symptoms simply. But to equip the teen with the tools and expert support to manage the anxiety in their life ahead, which they will face after treatment. That’s why it is essential to ensure their progress is reinforced as soon as they transition out of our depression treatment program back to their normal life. We have compiled a list of therapists and counselors in Dixon who specialize in narrative therapy.

Emergency Response/Hotlines Information for Dixon Adolescents
In moments of crisis, having immediate access to the right hotlines can make a difference in your teen’s mental health issues. At Key Healthcare, we specialize in providing long-term mental health care for teens. But we also believe that parents should be prepared for every stage of their teen’s mental health recovery journey.
That’s why we’ve compiled this list of emergency hotlines and services in Dixon so that families and parents can have the resources to respond swiftly and effectively. But before you move forward, here are some guidelines on what to do if your teen is in immediate danger:
- When your teen is caught in the grip of a depression or any other mental health crisis, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. But remember, your calm presence and quick thinking can make a real difference.
- In times like these, every second counts. Don’t hesitate to call 911 if you suspect symptoms of their mental health disorders are getting worse. Once you call, the police dispatcher answers your call and will transfer your call to the Fire Department or Paramedics, if required.
- Your quick action could be the difference between your teen’s life and death.

A site where teens aren’t just handed a roadmap but are encouraged to draw their own maps. Here, the experts at the centers aren’t just leaders; they’re partners in a journey of growth. They don’t do things’ to’ or ‘for’ teens but instead empower them to take the reins of their development.
This approach flips the old script. Instead of zeroing in on what’s wrong, these centers focus on nurturing what’s right.
Parks and recreation aren’t just curing the symptoms or problems of mental health issues; they’re cultivating skills, knowledge, and attitudes that shape proactive, positive youths.

High School Counseling Resources for Dixon Adolescents
We understand the importance of education in a teenager’s life. That’s why we focus on equipping your teens with skills like social confidence, conflict resolution, decision-making, and self-regulation.
These skills prepare them to face the daily challenges of school and peer interactions. Plus, we even offer vocational training and counseling sessions during our treatment, guiding them to find their passions, develop a sense of purpose, and establish realistic educational and career goals. However, it’s equally important to prepare them for what comes next.
The moment teens get back to their school life, social pressure, academic stress, and the influence of old friends can tempt them to slip back into unhealthy patterns. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of skilled academic counselors in Dixon to address this. These counselors don’t just establish academic and/or vocational plans.
They’re also here to ensure your teen stays grounded in the progress they’ve developed with us. In addition, they even provide support that helps teens keep up with their schoolwork and maintain emotional stability.
Note: The high schools mentioned above are solely for informational purposes. Key Healthcare is not affiliated with them. In curating our list of schools, we considered a wide array of factors, including test scores, equity, feedback from parents, and the school curricula.

Although evidence-based treatments are vital for addressing mental health conditions, our integrated approach goes a step further by incorporating holistic therapies that enrich teen’s therapeutic journey. These practices offer additional layers of healing and support.
Holistic therapy involves activities like yoga, equine therapy, meditation, adventure therapy, and creative arts. These practices engage teens physically, emotionally, and mentally, creating opportunities for growth and self-discovery.
By focusing on the whole person, holistic therapy addresses deeper issues that drive mental health struggles in teens. Speaking of its benefits then, this therapy:
- Enhances teen’s overall well-being, including their physical health.
- Fosters a more balanced state of mind.
- Develops resilience and coping skills to handle adversity.
- Improves relationships with others along with communication.
However, when teens transition back to their normal routines after completing our treatment, continuing with these holistic therapies or even physical activities like gyming, dance, or martial arts is a must.
These activities aren’t just a recommendation. They’re essential for reinforcing the benefits they’ve gained here and helping them build lasting mental and emotional resilience. That’s why we’ve put together a list of fitness options in Dixon that parents can explore in their community.
