When Weekly Therapy Isn’t Enough: Why Some Families Choose Intensive In‑Home Services

Every parent wants to help their child succeed, but sometimes, no matter how many weekly therapy sessions you attend, things at home still feel out of control. If you’ve ever thought, “We need more help than this,” you’re not alone.
That’s where Intensive In‑Home Services (IIH) can make all the difference.

Why Choose Intensive In‑Home?

Unlike traditional outpatient therapy, IIH brings trained professionals into your home several times a week. Instead of just hearing advice, you and your child get to practice new skills in real time, right where challenges happen most.
IIH is designed for children and teens who:

  • Have been hospitalized or are at risk of hospitalization
  • Struggle with behaviors that feel unsafe or overwhelming
  • Have difficulty with school attendance, routines, or relationships
  • Need extra support beyond what weekly therapy can provide

What Happens During IIH?

Your team works with your child and your family to:

  • Create structure and routines that work for your household
  • Teach and model coping skills for managing big emotions
  • Strengthen communication and problem‑solving as a family
  • Coordinate care with schools, doctors, and other providers

Because the support is hands‑on and tailored to your family’s needs, progress often happens faster and feels more lasting.

How Long Does It Last?

IIH is meant to be short‑term—usually 3–6 months. But with insurance approval, services can continue for up to 12 months if your child still needs that level of care. The goal is always to equip your family with the tools to thrive long after services end.

You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
