Intensive Outpatient Program

Serious support, on your schedule

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is the heart of our outpatient model. It offers professional clinical support several times a week — without an overnight stay — so you can heal while keeping your job, your family and your daily life.

Usually 3 sessions per week · 9:00 AM–9:00 PM · Insurance accepted

How our IOP works

Flexible hours, real structure

We offer a flexible schedule six days a week, between 9:00 AM and 9:00 PM, usually consisting of three sessions per week. A typical IOP lasts around 4–6 weeks, and therapy, aftercare and support services remain available for as long as you need them.

IOP includes individual therapy, group sessions, trauma processing and recovery education — ideal for adults managing work, parenting or high-functioning stress while seeking serious support.
