What are the stages of rehab?
1) ASSESSMENT
2) DETOX
After the assessment, your teen will detoxify (whether it’s detox from alcohol or other substances) or detox. It is the process of safely removing the drugs in your teen’s system. They might need to take medication to reduce the risk of withdrawal complications. This medication will depend on your child’s health condition and the substance they use. Medical detox is the safest and most effective method of managing withdrawal.
3) REHABILITATION
At this phase, your teen will be provided with the extensive treatment program that was decided after the assessment. Its main goal is to make your teen abstinent from drug use for good. In addition, your teens are expected to open up and find out the deeper reasons for their addiction. They will also be involved in various therapy sessions that will help them cope with their substance-free lifestyle. Rehab can be in the form of residential teen treatment, inpatient, or outpatient.

Teen Partial Hospitalization Program (Teen PHP) — Teen PHP is a systematic and comprehensive therapy program that runs for eight hours, five days a week. PHP for teenagers is typically 3–4 weeks long and provides a higher degree of care than Teen IOP. This program provides integrated, multidisciplinary clinical treatment to teenagers who can function at a minimally suitable level and do not pose a risk to themselves or others. This well-structured day program aims to heal your teen’s mental, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being.
Intensive Outpatient Teen Treatment Program (Teen IOP) — Instead of open-ended weekly therapy sessions, Teen IOP provides a structured environment. With support for nine hours per week to help your teens cope with their challenges in a more holistic way. Teen IOP is best for adolescents struggling to get back to their everyday lives, who lack motivation or who don’t listen.
Group Teen Therapy — In group teen therapy, your teens will be involved in group sessions wherein they can discuss their situation and relate to others in the same situation. They can give and receive advice, and this lets them know that they are not alone in their troubles. A sense of community support is crucial to your teen’s recovery.
Family Therapy — In this type of teenage family therapy, you and other family members will be encouraged to participate in your teen’s recovery. This program helps resolve domestic issues and establish a strong family relationship, which is crucial in the continued recovery of your child.
AFTERCARE
Finishing rehabilitation is not the end of the recovery treatment. Recovery is a life-long process. Aftercare for teens, like sober living for teens, seek to ensure the continued sobriety of your teen. In addition, these programs also help your teen acquire skills that they will need as they go return to their normal lives.
