Minimizing the change of relapse

Continuing care is a mandatory part of your teen’s recovery process and a crucial component to ensuring your child avoids relapse. Teensavers agrees with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) that continuing care is essential to successful treatment. Research indicates that half of all teens not receiving some form of continuing care after treatment for substance abuse, emotional or behavioral issues fall back into their previous pattern.

Continuing care focuses on teaching teens how to cope when they leave treatment and return to the same social environment that initially contributed to their need for treatment. This is accomplished by providing teens with the coping and leadership skills they need to make the right decisions, lead a healthy, productive lifestyle and become self-sufficient.

Teensavers offers several alternatives for continuing care to help resolve any lingering issues identified in your child’s post-treatment assessment, including:

Continuing Care Day Program – Ideal for teens with lingering issues following in-residence treatment
Personalized Therapy/Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Therapy – For teens who have made significant progress in residential or day treatment, but still have lingering emotional, psychological or behavioral issues
Telephone/Online Follow-Up Therapy – Ideal for teens who live far from our facilities and cannot make it to on-site weekly sessions; also used as a tool to supplement face-to-face sessions
Combination Therapies –Based on a teen’s unique needs, we may recommend a combination of two or more therapies for the most effective treatment
