Understanding IOP
What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An IOP is a structured mental health treatment program that meets several times a week for a few hours at a time. It's a step above regular weekly therapy, offering more frequency and depth — without requiring you to pause your daily life.
It's a great fit if you're stepping down from a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), or if weekly therapy just isn't enough right now.
Individual Therapy

Group Therapy
Community-based sessions that reduce isolation and build real coping skills.
Medication Management
Psychiatric support and medication review as part of your care team.
Relapse Prevention
Skills and strategies to maintain your progress between sessions.

Evening Sessions
5 PM – 8 PM, 2–4 days/week
