What We Offer

What Is a Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program?

A mental health intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a structured form of outpatient care for people who need more support than traditional therapy. It doesn't require an overnight stay like inpatient or residential care.

IOP often includes therapy, coping-skills development, and support for managing symptoms in daily life. It can be a helpful step before or after a higher level of care.
