The Behavioral Health Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are designed to treat adult mental health and substance abuse issues in the least restrictive setting possible.
The IOP offers the right level of treatment for patients who are not progressing in traditional outpatient programs and do not need a higher level of care, like hospitalization.
Intensive Outpatient Programs are small-group, mental health or substance abuse educational and process counseling sessions held for three hours, 3-days per week. The program licensed clinical staff provide the support to help create change in your thoughts and behaviors, learn problem-solving skills, and establish and maintain a healthy support network. The IOPs offer a friendly, relaxed, comfortable and no pressure environment that is a key success in therapy.
All IOP programs are designed to give adult clients the opportunity to participate in treatment while still going to work or school and maintain other day-to-day responsibilities. Most working adults qualify for family medical leave of absence (FMLA) from work. The program clinical staff are trained in assisting with FMLA and disability paperwork among your employer, human resources, EAP’s and other authorized personnel.
Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP)
- Adult Mental Health
- Adult Substance Abuse
- Working Professionals-Return to Work

Counseling is a collaborative process through which individuals or couples work one-on-one with a trained licensed counselor in a safe, caring, and confidential environment. The goal is to talk through mental health issues and help clients explore their feelings, beliefs, or behaviors, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, better understand themselves and others and set personal goals.
Good therapy is client-driven, respectful, culturally sensitive, and affirmative. Specific goals for therapy are determined by you and your therapist based on short-term counseling, typically once or twice weekly for 12-20 sessions.
