Intensive Outpatient Program
The intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides services to adults who are in need of further stabilization and who do not require the structure of a full day treatment program. Clients attend the intensive outpatient program three days a week for three hours per day and the adult outpatient program two days a week for two hours per day.
IOP for Short-term Stabilization
IOP is more intensive than traditional outpatient programs and is designed to achieve short-term stabilization and resolution of the patient's 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 other patients working on similar issues. The treatment team may include licensed therapists, nurses, program specialists and a doctor.
