Integrated Healing Program for Teens

Integrated Healing Program for Teens

Offered at Rogers’ Brown Deer PHP/IOP clinic, the Integrated Healing Program for teens, a partnership between Rogers Behavioral Health, Children’s Wisconsin, and the Medical College of Wisconsin, is a unique treatment program for current or prospective medically stable patients, ages 13 through 18 suffering from pain and related functional neurologic disorders. A multidisciplinary team combines medical, physical and psychosocial therapies to treat adolescents who have withdrawn from normal activities.

This intensive partial hospitalization (PHP) rehabilitative program treats teens holistically by addressing their physical, emotional and social needs in eight-hour daily sessions for four to six weeks. This specialized program gives families a much-needed care option for a patient population that is difficult to treat and often overlooked. Multidisciplinary teams, including Rogers’ child and adolescent psychiatrists and psychologists, and medical, health psychology, and physical therapy experts from the Jane B. Pettit Pain and Headache Center at Children’s Wisconsin, work together to provide intensive rehabilitative, medical services, and mental health treatment.

Listed below are just some of the many conditions our team is prepared to manage in the Integrated Healing Program.

Treatment outcomes

They report significant improvements in overall physical functioning and return to age-appropriate activities, significantly improved quality of life, and increased emotional well-being. Patients also report less worry about pain and how it will impact them.

Who can be admitted to the program

The collaborative services are available for teens ages 13 through 18. The first step in determining whether a teen is a good fit for the program is to have them medically evaluated. Prospective patients will be evaluated by providers at Children’s Pain and Headache Center and Rogers. The Integrated Healing Program hours are provided Monday through Friday, 8 am to 4 pm. To schedule an evaluation, call 414-266-3955.

Accommodations

If overnight accommodations are needed for patients and families who don’t live in the Southeastern region of Wisconsin, a member from Rogers Behavioral Health will work with the family to help arrange accommodations. There are several hotels near our Brown Deer PHP/IOP clinic that provide discounted rates to patients. We also partner closely with the Ronald McDonald House and Kathy’s House which are both located in Wauwatosa (about 25 minutes from the IHP location).
