Stockton Inpatient Teen & Adolescent Depression Treatment
Compassionate Care for Teens with Depression
Our Stockton teen depression treatment program is focused on helping teens overcome their depression and other mental health challenges. We understand that depression impacts each teen in its own way, which is why we offer different levels of care, ranging from IOP therapy to residential rehab. These levels of care are preferred based on the severity of your teen’s condition.
Usually depression is often mistaken for typical teenage behavior, like mood swings, sadness, or irritability. However, when these symptoms last for more than two weeks without any relief, it’s essential to recognize that this could indicate major depression.
That’s why our licensed psychiatrists and mental health professionals work hand in hand to create a personalized treatment plan based on the severity of these symptoms. During our sessions, we use evidence-based modalities along with experiential therapies, track progress closely, and adjust medications so your teen is always moving toward recovery.
And when it’s time to leave, we don’t leave your teen guessing. We build a personalized aftercare plan with trusted resources (of Stockton) so your teen feels supported at home, school, and beyond.

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 Stockton Teenagers
At Key Healthcare we provide multiple treatment programs for teens to help them live a successful life. During our treatment programs you can expect your child to attend individual and group therapy sessions, participate in family counseling, receive academic support, and participate in social activities.

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.
