Outpatient FAQs
Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment
Intensive Outpatient Treatment (also known as IOP for “Intensive Outpatient Program”) is a primary treatment program recommended in some circumstances by a clinical and medical assessment. IOP may be recommended for those clients in need of more clinical structure and support than can be offered in traditional outpatient work, but for whom inpatient hospitalization is not deemed to be necessary. IOP can also enable people working on their recovery to transition between inpatient and traditional outpatient care, in that it offers additional structure and support in those times when the structure of home life may not be sufficient to support recovery.
Some of the problems that may be effectively treated in mental health IOP:
- Severe depression without acute suicidality
- Bipolar disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
- Severe anxiety disorders
- Severe obsessive-compulsive disorders
The primary advantage of IOP is that you can start rebuilding your personal life and mending your important family ties right away, because you live at home and participate in intensive outpatient treatment. Clients have the opportunity to practice and apply skills learned in therapy in the real-life settings of home and work. With the Intensive Outpatient Treatment program, you are able to establish a foundation for long-term personal growth in your local community.
