Discovering that a child or adolescent requires specialized intervention for problematic behaviors is a heavy moment for any family; you likely have questions about what comes next, how the legal or school system is involved, and most importantly, if your child can recover and lead a healthy life. At Atium Health, we provide specialized care through our Network of Juveniles Obtaining Support (NOJOS) certified therapy program, specifically focusing on Levels 1 and 2; our goal is to provide a structured, evidence-based pathway that prioritizes community safety while giving your child the tools to make better choices.
The NOJOS framework is the gold standard for treating youth with sexual behavior concerns; Levels 1 and 2 are designed for outpatient settings, meaning the youth continues to live at home while attending intensive therapy. Level 1 focuses on prevention and early intervention; this is typically for youth with lower-risk behaviors or those who are in the early stages of exploring boundaries. The focus here is on education, healthy boundaries, and social skills. Level 2 involves outpatient treatment designed for youth who require a more formal treatment plan to address specific behavioral patterns; this level involves more rigorous monitoring and therapeutic work to prevent recidivism.
At Atium Health, these services are overseen by Dr. Redd, our NOJOS Clinical Provider, and led by Clint Okamoto, a dedicated provider with specialized expertise in the NOJOS framework; working with a certified professional team ensures adherence to best practices, as our clinical approach is backed by the latest research in adolescent development and behavioral health. We utilize a collaborative approach; we work alongside families, schools, and the legal system to ensure a holistic safety plan. We focus on long-term success; we do not just address the symptoms; we look at the underlying triggers to build lasting resilience.
We understand the shame and isolation many families feel; our clinical team maintains an authoritative, structured environment to ensure safety, but we do so with deep empathy. We believe that with the right intervention at the right time, youth can learn accountability and healthy relationship dynamics. Navigating the requirements of NOJOS can be complex; however, you do not have to do it alone. Whether you are seeking a consultation due to a court mandate or because you have noticed concerning behaviors, Atium Health is here to provide clear answers and a professional plan of action.

Does insurance cover NOJOS therapy? Most insurance plans cover therapy when it is deemed medically necessary; however, coverage for specific NOJOS programs can vary depending on your provider and plan. At Atium Health, we recommend contacting your insurance company directly to verify mental health benefits for outpatient sex-specific therapy; we can also provide documentation to assist with the authorization process.
How long does the NOJOS Level 1 or 2 program last? The duration of treatment is individualized based on the youth's progress and the specific requirements of the safety plan; typically, Level 1 psychosexual education is a shorter-term intervention lasting a few months, while Level 2 therapy may involve more consistent, long-term work. It is important to note that timelines also depend on the client’s engagement in the therapeutic process; if assignments are not completed or if a client discovers they benefit from broader therapeutic work beyond the NOJOS material, we may work at a slower pace to ensure behavioral stability and risk reduction.
What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2? Level 1 is primarily educational and focused on youth with isolated or spontaneous incidents who show low risk; Level 2 is more intensive, involving formal psychotherapy for youth who may have more established problematic patterns but can still be safely managed in the home with proper supervision and clinical support.
Will I be involved in my child's treatment? Yes; family involvement is a core component of the NOJOS framework. At Atium Health, we work closely with parents and guardians to develop safety plans and improve supervision techniques. Furthermore, we help parents learn to communicate more effectively with their child to improve the overall relationship and connection, helping the family system better support the youth’s rehabilitation.
Is a court mandate required to start therapy? No; while many families come to us through the juvenile justice system, we also work with families who are seeking proactive help because they have noticed concerning behaviors and want to intervene before a situation escalates.
