Adolescent IOP Program Features

Many intensive outpatient programs meet during the week, and then leave the newly sober individual to seek out their own meetings, sober social groups, and recovery resources. At the Insight Program, these critical features are built into the program itself. Our program includes:

Weekly 12-step meetings for teens

Many teens struggle with seeking out and integrating into adult-centered support groups. That’s why we host twice-weekly support group meetings for teens right in our facility in Tampa.

Full-Featured Parent Support Group

Every family with a struggling teen will feel the strain on their relationships, finances, and emotions. Our weekly parent support group meetings serve to help parents connect with each other and develop effective tools to respond to their teen as they are faced with challenges week-to-week.

Weekly Sober Social Events

Social interaction and fun is part-and-parcel to the teen experience. In most cases, drug use has permeated every element of their social life. In order to provide an adequate replacement, The Insight Program plans sober social events for teens twice per week.

Individual Counseling

A core element of our teen IOP program is that we meet with each teen individually each week. This serves to check-in, assess progress, celebrate successes, and develop specific goals for each week.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Tampa IOP for Teens

Intensive outpatient (IOP) refers to substance use treatment wherein your teen continues to live at home and visits our facility for daily group counseling sessions.

The advantage of choosing an IOP program is that teens get to begin practicing their use of recovery tools immediately, as they will be facing real-world challenges while living at home during the treatment process.

This style of treatment is distinct from residential or partial hospitalization (PHP) programs, which are sometimes appropriate depending on the severity of the substance use disorder.

The Insight Program is location about 2 miles northwest of downtown Tampa’s city center, roughly 3 miles east of the Tampa International Airport, and approximately 7 miles southwest of the vibrant University of South Florida campus.

This location makes The Insight Program easily accessible for families from Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, and the broader Tampa Bay area seeking our outpatient and intensive outpatient program (IOP) services.

Intensive outpatient (IOP) is a good fit for adolescents or teens whose substance use is severe enough that they’ll need professional help to recover, but not severe enough that they require 24/7 monitoring in order to succeed.

We evaluate situations on a case-by-case basis. If you are wondering which level of care is appropriate for your situation, we encourage you to set up a no-cost evaluation with our staff.

Our Tampa adolescent IOP program serves teens aged 13-17 who live in Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon, Riverview, and surrounding areas.

As a family-focused program, we require that parents of teens in our program attend the weekly Tampa parent support group meetings. This is particularly important for adolescents, who will continue living at home with their families during treatment, ensuring a supportive environment for lasting recovery.

The intensive outpatient program for teens generally lasts for 6-12 weeks. The reason for this variance is that all of our discharges are based on progress, rather than duration of time in the program.

Upon entry into the program, we complete a thorough evaluation of your teen’s substance use and agree upon goals for the course of treatment.

We assist teens in addressing all manner of substance use disorders: marijuana use, alcohol use, prescription drug misuse, opioid use, etc. Our program is focused on helping teens find a way of life that is more rewarding than the life they had while using drugs.
