The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is more intensive than traditional outpatient programs and is designed to achieve short-term stabilization and resolution of immediate problem areas. The patient and family are offered services by a team of professionals. The patient is enrolled in a time-limited program with others working on similar issues. The treatment team may include licensed therapists, nurses, program specialists and a physician.

Advantages of IOP:

• Individual lives at home
• Sessions may be conducted while the individual continues to go to work
• Individual therapy is augmented by group therapies specific to the patient’s needs
• Frequency of attendance is determined by the individual’s specific needs
• IOP services are available during the day and evening to accommodate patients’ schedules
• Transportation accessibility should never act as a barrier to receiving treatment. Call us at 800-777-5722 to discuss transportation options.
