Clinical & Psychiatric Excellence
Small Group Setting
A partial hospitalization program is a level of behavioral health treatment that provides intensive and structured care. PHPs are designed for those who do not require 24-hour care from a team of professionals but still need more support than what meeting with someone once a week (or less often) can offer.
The Pinnacle Day Program focuses on small groups and specialized care. Our teens don’t just stay in classrooms all day or talk with therapists about what’s going on. Instead, the Family First team is working with them to get curious about their mental health so they can explore what they’re feeling. They’ll learn that there are ways to use what they’re already good at to make life more manageable so they can achieve what they want.
Teens at Family First don’t just catch up; they often get ahead. Working at their own pace with guidance from our staff, they have dedicated time to work on assignments daily.
Individual therapy sessions are a key component of our adolescent PHP, providing a safe and confidential space for individuals to work through their challenges with a therapist.
Group sessions allow teens to connect with peers who are going through similar experiences and learn from each other’s perspectives. It’s also a good time to practice skills from therapy.
Our care team will monitor and adjust medications as needed for teens who require them as part of their treatment plan. All changes are reviewed and approved by parents first.
An essential aspect of the Pinnacle Day Program is teaching practical life skills that can help teens stay organized, regulate their emotions, and think things through before acting.
Our team leads teens through mindful sessions where they’ll become more present. We also host art, dance, paint, and garden therapies to help them be expressive in non-verbal ways.
Teens who are stable and don’t need 24/7 care but could benefit from structured treatment, this might be a good option. Boys and girls aged 12–18 can all get support in the Pinnacle Day Program. It’s held weekdays from about 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida—conveniently located for families in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach Counties.
Our team doesn’t just help teens manage and cope with their symptoms. At the Pinnacle Day Program, teens explore their mental health and develop the skills they need to make improvements and find a path they’re excited to take.
Family involvement helps create a supportive and understanding environment for your teen’s recovery. Educational sessions, family therapy, and parental support groups are also provided so you can work with your teen, not against them.
You won’t have to guess what’s next when your son or daughter completes the Pinnacle Day Program. Teens and families receive a comprehensive discharge plan before leaving. Your family’s plan will cater to the individual needs of parents and teens.
We’re experienced in treating the most common and complex teen mental health challenges. The first step for many in the Pinnacle Day Program is an assessment to understand their unique needs. Then, we create a personalized care plan for every teen.
It’s not just our name—we are Family First. Our team understands your teen and what they’re going through because a lot of us have been there. Now, we’re excited to help your kid find a way forward.

Pinnacle Day Program meets in Fort Lauderdale, FL. This location is more convenient for families in Miami-Dade and Broward Counties than our residential center in Palm Beach Gardens.
Pinnacle Day Program is a co-ed mental and behavioral health treatment program for teens 12–18. Enrollment is limited to eight teens at a time so that each client can receive the attention and support they need during treatment.
Teens spend about seven hours each day at Pinnacle. The daily schedule runs from 8 a.m. to about 3 p.m., with a lunch break around noon. As a day program—also known as a partial hospitalization program (PHP)—it’s designed to be flexible, allowing teens to return home each day rather than sleeping at a treatment center.
Treatment for many of our clients lasts 6–12 weeks. We may recommend additional support for some teens.
Pinnacle Day Program is a setting for teen mental and behavioral health treatment. Our team provides comprehensive, evidence-based care for a range of conditions, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, trauma-related conditions, screen and gaming addiction, impulse control issues, and ADHD.
The price you pay for your teen’s treatment may vary. Your insurance coverage, what kind of services are right for your teen, and how long they’ll need support will determine how much it costs.
