Virtual Care Options for Teens and Adults

Hybrid Virtual Care for Adults

Evening Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are available in Lafayette, Terre Haute, Carmel, Merrillville, and Jeffersonville. For those who prefer daytime care, Carmel also offers a hybrid morning IOP. Each program is designed around flexibility—so therapy fits your life, not the other way around. Whether you’re beginning treatment or stepping down from a higher level of care, virtual and hybrid IOP provides a structured way to stay supported close to home. Many people start after completing residential or partial hospitalization programs elsewhere and want ongoing therapy that keeps them connected while rebuilding daily routines.

Virtual and hybrid sessions give adults consistent support for:

Sessions meet several times each week for about three hours. Therapists use trusted, evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help manage symptoms, build new coping skills, and strengthen long-term stability. Whether you join fully online or in person a few days a week, hybrid IOP makes it easier to stay engaged and supported while keeping your life moving forward.

Hybrid Virtual Therapy for Adolescents (Ages 12–17)

Early support can make all the difference. When emotional distress or substance use begins during adolescence, it can interrupt growth, confidence, and identity. The Adolescent Hybrid Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) gives teens a safe, structured space to build emotional awareness and self-esteem while staying connected to home and school life. Using the OWL system, sessions are designed to keep teens engaged through interactive activities—like Kahoot-style games, surveys, and polls—that make therapy feel relatable and collaborative. Groups are limited to 15 members to create strong connections and give each participant the attention they need.

Program details:

Families in Fort Wayne can choose hybrid or fully virtual adolescent therapy, offering access to specialized care even when travel isn’t possible. Each session focuses on emotional regulation, communication, and coping skills—helping teens find balance, rebuild confidence, and strengthen support at home. Therapy is guided by professionals who truly understand what healing takes—many of whom have walked their own path to recovery and now help families find hope again.

 

Why Virtual Therapy Works

Virtual therapy removes distance, scheduling, and transportation barriers, making it easier to stay engaged and supported. It’s consistent care that meets you where you are, so progress doesn’t pause when life gets busy.

Virtual Therapy

When In-Person Treatment Is Best

Virtual therapy works for most people, but certain symptoms improve more quickly with a combination of online care and brief in-office treatments. These options are available at Indiana Center for Recovery locations across Indiana and can be added to your virtual plan when needed:

These in-office services support healing when symptoms need more than talk therapy alone, giving you a complete range of care close to home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is virtual therapy as effective as in-person care?

Yes. Studies show that teletherapy can work just as well as in-person sessions for things like anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use. What matters most is the relationship and consistency—and you’ll have both here.

What conditions can virtual therapy help with?

Virtual sessions can help with mental health concerns, substance use, or both. Whether you’re managing anxiety, depression, trauma, or cravings, your therapist will help you build practical tools and new ways to handle what’s hard.

What is integrated virtual treatment?

Integrated virtual treatment means caring for your mental health and substance use at the same time. It helps you see how both connect—so you can start feeling more balanced, more in control, and better each day.

How does hybrid treatment work?

Hybrid programs blend virtual therapy with a few optional in-person sessions. You might join online most days, then come into the center once or twice a week for extra connection and support. It’s flexible, realistic care that fits around your life.

Is virtual therapy private?

Yes. All sessions happen through encrypted, HIPAA-compliant video platforms, so everything shared stays between you and your care team. It’s private, secure, and designed to make you feel safe opening up.

Can adolescents benefit from digital therapy?

Absolutely. Teens often respond best to therapy that feels interactive. The Adolescent Hybrid IOP uses games, polls, and small group discussions that keep teens involved and supported. It’s a space to learn, connect, and feel understood.

What technology do I need?

All you need is a smartphone, tablet, or computer with a camera and microphone. The system is simple to use, and our staff can help you set it up before your first session so you feel confident getting started.

Are evening sessions available?

Yes. Evening Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are offered at every location, so you can join after work, school, or family time. The Carmel location also offers a hybrid morning IOP if daytime care works better for you.

How does virtual therapy support addiction treatment?

Virtual therapy gives you structure, accountability, and a place to talk through cravings, stress, or triggers. Sessions include coping skills, relapse prevention, and, when needed, medication support to help you stay steady through the process.

How can I start virtual therapy?

Getting started is simple. Call (844) 650-0064 or verify insurance online. After a quick, private assessment, you’ll be matched with a program that fits your schedule—so you can start feeling better without waiting.

Can I switch from virtual to in-person care later?

Yes. Many people start with virtual therapy and decide later to attend some sessions in person. Your therapist can help you adjust your schedule or transition to a hybrid program at any time. Care is flexible—built around your needs, not the other way around.

What if I’ve tried therapy before and it didn’t help?

That’s more common than you might think. Virtual therapy feels different because it combines structure, accountability, and access to care that fits your life. You’ll have the same therapist and support team throughout, so you can build real trust and try new approaches that may not have been possible before.

How do I know if virtual therapy is right for me or my teen?

If travel, time, or privacy have made it hard to get consistent help, virtual or hybrid therapy may be the right fit. It’s often a good next step for people leaving a higher level of care or for families who need flexible support at home. A quick conversation with our admissions team can help you find the best starting point.
