Aftercare for Teens & Families

Discharge / Return Home

Aftercare is crucial for your child’s ongoing recovery.

We believe strong outcomes depend on continuity and collaboration. From admission through discharge, we coordinate closely with your teen’s existing providers and aftercare programs — whether that’s our IOP or another trusted outpatient partner. Our team stays in regular communication with the broader care network to support timely transitions, shared understanding, and a clear path forward.

From the moment your child is admitted to Muir Wood, your treatment team will begin planning for aftercare services. Preparing for your child’s return home early on ensures that everything is in place when it’s time for discharge. This may include options like an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), a private therapist, family therapy, or other services.

Your feedback is important to help us improve our services for future families. You will receive an email invitation to complete a survey at different times during your child’s treatment. The first survey will be sent 10 days after your child’s admission. The second survey will be required on the day of your child’s discharge. After treatment is complete, we may send additional surveys to track long-term outcomes. We try to keep these surveys short and focused on the most important information that helps us improve our support for adolescents and their families. Your honest feedback is greatly appreciated!
