Is Your Child or Teen Struggling with Emotional or Behavioral Issues?
Aris Clinic specializes in an intensive outpatient program (IOP) that helps kids ages 8-18 get back on track at home and in school.
Our team leads a structured, yet nurturing, in-person day of therapy, medication management and educational services in place of the regular school day. Kids learn empowering social, psycho-educational, mindfulness and coping skills. The program runs five days a week, is tailored to patient age and needs, and typically lasts 8-12 weeks.
Historically, 90% of our IOP participants discharge to outpatient care and return to school in an average of eight weeks.
