We Accept Insurance
More care for school refusal, shutdowns, and conflict
Virtual IOP with school and family still involved
Lower out of pocket cost with insurance
More help between therapy visits
Missed classes, shutdowns, and nightly arguments do not wait for the next therapy appointment. If school and home keep getting hit between visits, your teen may need treatment on more days of the week.
Our Virtual IOP provides your teen with 3- or 5-day per week treatment from home without an immediate jump into residential care. To get started, speak with our admissions team.
We can talk through what has been happening, verify your insurance coverage, and explain what starting from home would require before anything is scheduled.
What is IOP?
IOP stands for intensive outpatient program. For a teen, that usually means more treatment than weekly therapy, without moving into a residential program. Avery’s House Idaho offers virtual IOP for teens ages 12 to 17 when they need several treatment sessions each week and can still participate safely from home.
- More than a weekly visit: Virtual IOP may run 3 or 5 days a week, depending on your teen’s needs, so care has more chances to respond while school, home, and mood patterns are still current.
- Less disruptive than residential care: Your teen remains at home while receiving structured online treatment, as long as home is safe enough to support care.
- Parents stay part of treatment: Family therapy and parent participation are part of care, so you are not left outside the process while trying to manage what happens at home.
- A step up or step down: Virtual IOP can help after hospital or residential care or when outpatient therapy is no longer enough. It gives families a structured next step before a larger move is needed.
How our IOP supports your teen
The problem may be most visible on ordinary days: a morning your teen will not go to school, an argument after dinner, or a long afternoon behind a closed door. Our Virtual IOP gives those moments a place in treatment while they are still current.
- School refusal: A 3- or 5-day schedule gives us more than one chance each week to work on avoidance, anxiety, routines, and the next school morning.
- Conflict at home: Family sessions let parents and teens work on communication, boundaries, and repair after real arguments, not just talk about them days later.
- Isolation and shutdowns: Group and individual sessions create regular points of contact, so withdrawal is less likely to build quietly between weekly appointments.
- Follow-through after sessions: Case management and coaching can help turn the care plan into next steps around school contact, routines, assignments, or family expectations.
- Medication questions: When medication oversight belongs in the plan, it can stay connected to the same treatment picture instead of sitting outside care.

Privacy, school hours, and parent involvement come first
Before treatment starts, we talk through the parts that can make online care work or fall apart: school hours, privacy, device access, internet, and whether your teen has a place to speak honestly. Your family should know those details before building a treatment plan around virtual care.
- School hours: We review the treatment schedule before a start date is set so your family can see how sessions would work around classes, attendance demands, and school routines.
- Private session space: Your teen needs a place to sit, a working device, reliable internet, and enough privacy to speak honestly without feeling overheard.
- Parent involvement: Because your teen remains at home, you can stay close to changes in sleep, school effort, routines, and conflict while treatment is underway.
- Connected care: Group, individual, and family sessions stay part of one treatment plan, so support does not scatter across appointments that never quite line up.
Get clarity on cost and fit before starting
Before anything goes on the calendar, we help you pin down three answers: can your teen safely start from home, what insurance may cover, and what would the first week ask of your family?
- What your teen needs now: We ask what support your teen has already tried, what keeps returning, and whether school refusal, isolation, conflict, safety, or substance use concerns point to virtual IOP or a more supervised setting.
- What insurance may cover: We verify insurance before anything is put on the calendar, so your family can see possible benefits and costs before choosing a start date.
- What starting would require: If virtual IOP is recommended, we explain the 3- or 5-day schedule, intake steps, family involvement, and what needs to be ready before sessions begin.
- If IOP is not enough: If your teen needs in-person support or more supervision, we tell you before your family builds a plan around virtual treatment.
