Home / Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient

Real clinical support in day or evening tracks — built to fit around work, school, and family.

IOP · MOST FLEXIBLE

Serious treatment that still fits in a working week.

IOP is where most of our professionals begin. Three hours of focused group and individual work, three to five days a week, in a morning or evening track you choose. You keep your job, your routine, and your privacy — and you get a room of people who understand exactly what you’re carrying.

Who it’s for

Working adults and professionals who can’t step away from their responsibilities.

People stepping down from Partial Care who still want substantial structure.

Adults for whom weekly therapy alone hasn’t been enough to hold change.

Parents and caregivers who need treatment to happen around school pickup or evenings.

A typical session

What an evening session looks like

6:00 pm Arrival, check-in, and a few quiet minutes to land
6:15 pm Process group — the week’s real material
7:20 pm Break, coffee, and informal peer time
7:35 pm Skills group — CBT, DBT, or relapse-prevention focus
8:30 pm Individual check-in or family session, as scheduled
9:00 pm Close-out and commitments for the week

What’s included

Individual therapy

Weekly one-on-one work with your primary clinician, scheduled around your hours.

Group therapy

Small facilitated groups — including a professionals’ track when it’s running.

CBT & DBT skills

Concrete tools you can use the same night, at home or at work.

Medication support

Psychiatric follow-up and MAT coordination without extra appointments elsewhere.

Family involvement

Optional sessions and education for the people closest to you.

Relapse prevention

A written plan rehearsed for the specific situations that have caught you before.

Stepping up or down

Coming from PHP

If you started in Partial Care, IOP keeps the same clinician and cohort rhythm at a lighter dose — usually the point where people return to work.

If IOP isn’t holding

We’d rather adjust than watch you struggle. If the week isn’t enough, we can step you up to PHP quickly and without judgment.
