FAQS

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a type of mental health or substance abuse treatment that provides a high level of care without requiring patients to stay overnight in a facility. It’s typically used for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but don’t require full-time residential treatment.

IOPs usually involve multiple therapy sessions each week, which can include individual counseling, group therapy, and educational sessions. The structure is designed to help individuals address their issues intensively while still allowing them to live at home and maintain their daily responsibilities.

The goal of an IOP is to provide comprehensive treatment that helps individuals manage their conditions, build coping skills, and work towards recovery in a less restrictive environment.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) are effective for a range of issues, including severe depression, anxiety disorders, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, and co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions. They provide intensive therapy and support to help manage and improve these conditions, often offering more frequent care than traditional outpatient therapy.

The duration of an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) typically ranges from 6 to 12 weeks, but this can vary depending on individual needs and progress. Some programs may be shorter or longer based on the specific goals and severity of the condition being treated. The length of time in an IOP is usually determined collaboratively between the patient and their treatment team.
