Cornerstone Healing Center has launched a new Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for adolescents ages 13 to 17, building on the success of its evidence-based Virtual IOP for adults. According to independent data using the validated BASIS-32 assessment, Cornerstone’s IOP clients achieve 2.6 times the improvement compared to the national average. On average, clients see an 80 percent reduction in symptom severity, compared to 38 percent in comparable programs, with discharge symptom severity 57 percent lower than comparable programs.
In recent years, Arizona families have faced rising rates of adolescent anxiety, depression and substance misuse. Many teens are unable to access traditional in-person services due to transportation barriers, school commitments, and limited openings in local treatment programs. Cornerstone’s virtual offering is designed to close that gap. “Every family deserves access to treatment that truly works,” said Marcus Clark, COO of Cornerstone Healing Center. “Our Virtual IOP removes the barriers that often prevent teens from getting help while delivering the same proven outcomes that have made Cornerstone a leader in behavioral healthcare.”
The Virtual IOP provides structured therapeutic programming tailored to adolescents, including individual therapy, group sessions, family counseling and psychiatric services. All care is delivered in real time by licensed clinicians who specialize in adolescent treatment, using a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. Cornerstone is in-network with most major insurance plans, including many AHCCCS plans, to ensure services remain widely accessible. The virtual model allows families to maintain their everyday routine while receiving clinically rigorous care.
