Arizona’s most effective teenage treatment programs for struggling adolescents ages 12-17.
At Nexus Teen Academy, we provide a full spectrum of care to support struggling teens on their journey to recovery.
Our individualized treatment programs, including Teen Intensive Outpatient (IOP), Teen Partial Hospitalization (PHP), and Teen Residential Treatment (RTC), are designed to meet each teen where they are. These programs are in place to help teens build resilience, develop coping skills, and achieve lasting healing in a structured, supportive environment.
Our Outpatient Program is ideal for teens who need ongoing therapeutic support while maintaining their daily routines. Through scheduled therapy sessions, teens receive guidance in managing challenges related to mental health, substance use, and behavioral concerns, allowing them to heal while staying engaged in school and family life.
This program is typically 30-90+ days.
Our Teen PHP offers a structured, full-day treatment experience without overnight stays, serving as an alternative to residential care or a step-down from inpatient treatment. Teens engage in therapy, academic support, and holistic activities to develop healthy coping mechanisms in a supportive setting. This program is typically 30-90 days.
Our Teen Residential Treatment Program provides a safe, immersive healing environment for teens who require 24/7 care. With a combination of therapy, education, and structured activities, RTC helps teens break free from destructive patterns, build confidence, and work toward long-term recovery.
