What is IHBT?

Intensive Home-Based Treatment (IHBT) is a personalized program that supports youth and families dealing with emotional, behavioral, or mental health struggles. Our team provides care directly in the home, offering a comfortable and familiar space for healing. By partnering with families and community organizations, we focus on strengthening relationships, building coping skills, and empowering everyone to overcome challenges. The goal is to help families create lasting stability and resilience, ensuring loved ones stay together and thrive.

IHBT is a short-term, intensive service that focuses on both strengths and challenges using trauma-focused methods to reduce risk and enhance protective factors. Safety plans are developed and regularly updated to ensure family safety. We use various therapeutic approaches like Family Systems, CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and parent support to create a safer, healthier home environment.
