Adolescents
The clinical team at Johnstown Heights Behavioral Health offers behavioral treatment adolescents in Colorado.
In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing world, adolescent mental health has become an increasingly important issue. As young people navigate the complexities of growing up, they often face a unique set of challenges that can impact their mental well-being. The pressures of academic expectations, social media, and rapidly shifting social dynamics can contribute to feelings of anxiety, depression, and isolation. Additionally, adolescents are in a critical developmental stage, making them more vulnerable to emotional disturbances and mental health disorders. Addressing these issues requires a comprehensive approach that includes awareness, education, and accessible mental health services.
Inpatient Care for Adolescent Boys and Girls
Helping an adolescent get the treatment they need for mental health issues can be challenging. Parents and caregivers may find the process of seeking help to be overwhelming, not only because of concern for the adolescent, but because of their own emotions as well.
Johnstown Heights Behavioral Health makes this process easier by offering psychiatric services specifically designed for individuals between the ages of 13 and 17. Our inpatient treatment options are available for female adolescents who are admitted both voluntarily or involuntarily and includes immediate assessment, diagnosis, and rapid stabilization of acute psychiatric symptoms.
Outpatient Adolescent Treatment Programs for Boys and Girls
Our comprehensive Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is tailored to address the diverse needs of adolescents age 13 to 17 as they face various mental and behavioral health challenges. These concerns can include anxiety, depression, bipolar disorders, suicidal thoughts and ideas, and other mental health conditions. Our program welcomes Adolescents at various stages of their treatment and mental health journey, whether they join us directly from the initial assessment and referral or are transitioning from an inpatient or residential setting. With a strong emphasis on structure and support, our outpatient program provides individuals with a nurturing environment to cultivate adaptive coping skills essential for personal growth and well-being.
