Teen Treatment Programs: What We Treat at Family First

Yes, we welcome families from across the country and internationally. Today, we’ve served families from 49 states and four countries. Our admissions team can help coordinate travel arrangements and provide recommendations for local accommodations for families who need to stay in the area during their teen’s treatment. We also work with families to coordinate care with their local providers for ongoing support after treatment completion.

Treatment time varies based on your teen’s individual needs. For our residential program, teens live at Family First for at least 45 days, and many stay up to 90 days. Teens in our Family First Adolescent Services Day Program attend Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. and go home each evening. Our VIOP is usually 6–12 weeks long.

Yes, we work with most major insurance providers, and our admissions team can verify your specific benefits and coverage. We understand that navigating insurance can be complex, so our staff will help determine your out-of-pocket costs and discuss payment options.

Yes. Our Family First Adolescent Services Day Program is a partial hospitalization (PHP) level of care. It’s available for families in Broward, Miami-Dade, and Palm Beach counties. We also offer virtual intensive outpatient (VIOP) services for teens living throughout Florida. 

f your teen is showing serious warning signs—like ongoing depression or anxiety, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, substance use, aggression, or major school and social withdrawal—it may be time to consider more than outpatient care. Outpatient care may be enough for milder concerns and can still provide structured, comprehensive treatment. 

Yes, we do offer treatment for teen substance use and co-occurring mental health at our residential program for boys in Palm Beach Gardens. We do not offer detox, but we can provide specialized support during early recovery.
