We offer outpatient and intensive outpatient. This means we provide services at various levels of care designed for individuals with significant psychiatric issues. The frequency of weekly visits is determined at the assessment time based on each individual’s unique needs. As clients progress, they typically step down in frequency.

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. It is a step down from inpatient treatment. You will start rebuilding your personal life and mending your important family ties immediately, living at home and participating in intensive outpatient treatment 3-4 days per week and up to 15 hours per week, depending on the need. With the Intensive Outpatient Treatment program, you can establish a foundation for long-term mental stability in your local community right from the start of your services.

In the Intensive Outpatient Program, you receive services primarily through group therapy but are also assigned an individual therapist you will meet with weekly while in treatment. Groups are small and generally do not exceed ten people, allowing for a safe environment.
