Levels of care
At MCAW South Shore, we offer a continuum of structured outpatient programs to support your teen at every stage of their mental health journey:
Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
Our PHP is the most intensive level of outpatient care we offer. Teens attend programming for 5–6 hours per day, five days a week. This program is ideal for adolescents who need comprehensive daily support but are stable enough to return home each evening. PHP includes individual and group therapy, family sessions, psychiatric care, and structured wellness activities.
Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
IOP provides a step down from PHP or a more flexible option for teens who need more than weekly therapy. Participants attend programming 3–4 hours per day, several days per week. IOP allows teens to maintain school attendance and engage in family life while continuing to build coping skills and emotional resilience in a supportive setting.
Aftercare and alumni support
Recovery doesn’t end after PHP or IOP. Our aftercare program offers ongoing support to help teens maintain progress, build confidence, and avoid relapse. We offer regular check-ins, referrals to outpatient providers, and access to alumni groups, events, and peer support. MCAW fosters a connected community that supports long-term mental wellness.
