If I join the mental health program, will I be in groups with clients who struggle with addiction?

At Clear, we offer individualized tracks for dual diagnosis, primary mental health, and adolescent treatment to ensure specialized care. We also offer age-specific tracks for teens, young adults and adults and professionals. This means our clients benefit from a supportive community of peers overcoming similar challenges.

How do I determine what type of treatment is best?

Our expert admissions team is standing by to provide private and confidential answers to your questions, and help you determine which level of care is best for your unique health goals and needs.

What about insurance?

At Clear Behavioral Health, we understand that when people seek mental health treatment, cost is an important factor. That’s why we are proud to be in-network with most commercial Insurance plans. Though individual policies and coverage vary, it’s important to our team that each client has full cost transparency before starting treatment.

How does mental health outpatient treatment work?

In Clear's outpatient program, clients typically have a structured daily schedule that includes individual and group therapy sessions, experiential modalities, and dedicated time to focus on life skills. Most of our in-person clients start at the PHP level of care and participate in therapeutic programming 5 days a week for 6 hours a day. After PHP, clients step down into IOP or virtual IOP and participate 3 to 5 days a week for 3 hours a day before transitioning back into an independent lifestyle. All levels of care include a variety of evidence-based modalities to ensure the highest potential for success.

Is therapy and outpatient programming the same thing?

Mental health outpatient treatment includes therapy and much, much more. Clear's mental health PHP, IOP and virtual IOP provide a wide range of therapeutic and experiential experiences including individual therapy, group therapy and counseling in a supportive community of others on the healing journey.

Uncover the Advantages of Parent Support Groups Today

Watching your teen go through mental health challenges can be difficult to navigate as a parent. You are aware that you can only help them so much, but over time, the guilt can build. Your need to help them make everything better can become overwhelming and challenging.

When this happens, finding a parent support group can be beneficial. While your teen gets support and treatment, you can also get emotional guidance and support. Learning how to best support your teen with their challenges and connecting with other parents in similar circumstances will help you better understand and connect with your teen.

At Clear Behavioral Health, we understand the benefits that parent support groups in Los Angeles, CA offer and include it in all of our teen mental health treatment programs.

How Parent Support Groups Help You

Parent support groups offer a lot of benefits. Having a space for parents to share what they are going through, where others can truly empathize with their feelings provides a healing space to feel less alone. You’ll not only listen to other group members but also be able to share about the struggles you’re facing.

Your teens have group therapy and peer support groups of their own within our treatment programs, and our parent support groups give the whole family a place to heal.

In these groups, you’ll learn how to manage your emotions, process what you may be going through, learn tangible coping skills, swap advice with other parents experiencing similar concerns, and even get tips on better communication with your teen.

How Parent Support Groups Help Your Teen

Attending a support group as a parent can help you stabilize emotionally, which will benefit you when interacting with your teen and their mental health challenges.

Having a safe space to unpack your feelings means you’ll have even more capacity for positive interactions with your child. You can also learn unique perspectives from other parents regarding handling conflict, different ideas for celebrating wins, how to provide emotional support, and parenting in general.

When parents are involved in their teen’s treatment but also working on themselves, it creates a different type of healing environment. Giving your teen the chance to grow and change while you gain support yourself is the greatest act of love.

How Our Teen Mental Health Program Works

What to Expect in Our Parent Support Groups

Our parent support groups are held once a week, for a type of multi-family group therapy. The first part of the group is with all of the parents, teens, and treatment team. In the second half of the group’s therapy session, the parents and teen are split into separate groups and the parents can expand on what they went over in the joined group or engage in more parent-focused topics.

Additionally, monthly family therapy with you and your teen is held where you can discuss progress, struggles, or issues you want to work through together. A more intimate session compared to the group ones, you and your teen can discuss interactions in the group you’d like to break down with a treatment provider.
