Hemet Inpatient Teen & Adolescent Depression Treatment
Compassionate Care for Teens with Depression
At Key Healthcare, our inpatient treatment for teenage depression is here to support Hemet teens who are dealing with severe depression and other mental health challenges. We know depression shows up differently for every teen, so we don’t believe in treating your teen using a generic approach. Instead, we offer different levels of care and create personalized treatment plans based on what your teen really needs. Because sometimes, what you’re seeing is much more than just “typical teen moodiness.”
Our approach is flexible and focused on what actually helps. We build each plan around your teen’s unique situation using evidence-based therapies. Our team, including pediatricians, therapists, psychiatrists, clinical social workers, and psychologists, works closely to understand what’s going on and how to guide your teen toward healing depression. But we don’t follow a short-term treatment approach. Instead, we help your teen build real skills they can use for life to balance their mental health. Such as managing emotions, handling stress, and growing their confidence.
After completing our program, when your teen transitions back, they won’t be left to figure it out alone. We’ll set up a personalized aftercare plan and provide a list of trusted support in Hemet, so your teen keeps feeling strong, both at home and at school.

What to Expect During Our Hemet 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 Hemet 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 Hemet 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.
Â
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!

Plus, it also builds confidence, emotional resilience, and a sense of achievement.
But lasting progress comes from staying consistent. That’s why we encourage teens to keep going with surf therapy or explore other physical outlets like dance, yoga, or fitness training. These kinds of activities help teens express their emotions, stay steady, and continue the growth they started during our teen depression treatment program.
