Adolescent programs

Adults aren’t the only ones tackling behavioral health conditions. At least one in five children and adolescents suffer from a behavioral health disorder. When left untreated, behavioral health disorders can lead to issues at school, family conflicts, substance abuse and even thoughts of death. Early intervention is critical to the recovery process.

At Linden Oaks Behavioral Health, we have experts who specialize in treating adolescents. Our programs address depression, anxiety (including school refusal), anger, anti-social disorders and obsessive-compulsive disorders.

We also offer programs specifically for adolescents, including addictions, Asperger's disorder, eating disorders, PTSD and self-injury.

School refusal and anxiety

Our anxiety treatment program cares for adolescents with generalized anxiety disorders, school refusal or avoidance issues, panic disorders, social and specific phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder.

PTSD

Our PTSD program is an intensive outpatient program designed to help adolescents with trauma.

Autism and Anxiety/Depression

Aspirations is an intensive outpatient program designed to help adolescents with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) level 1 (formerly known as Asperger’s syndrome) more effectively manage their anxiety and/or depression. Read more about our Aspirations Program.
 

 

The School at Linden Oaks

Adolescent patients in our inpatient and partial hospitalization program (PHP) levels of care attend the School at Linden Oaks for one or two hours per day. The school is staffed by state-certified teachers with endorsements in special education, English, social studies, science and mathematics.

The School at Linden Oaks works with a patient’s home school to obtain homework that is current with what other students in the patient’s class are completing. Teachers work one-on-one with patients to complete their work, provide notes and support materials, and return completed work to the school to ensure that the patients are more successful upon returning to school.

Linden Oaks Behavioral Health also has school liaisons who help coordinate a successful return to school for our adolescent patients by meeting and collaborating with the school and patient on the student’s needs and accommodations.
