Our Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program, also known as an intensive outpatient program (IOP), is designed to provide robust support while allowing clients to maintain a greater degree of independence. It combines evidence-based therapies, individual counseling, and recovery-focused activities led by master’s-level clinicians, all within a supportive peer environment. The Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program is designed for those who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health issues.
Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Schedule
Participants can expect a commitment of three-to-five days a week. Ideally, Half-Day Outpatient Treatment will start at five days a week, and progressively lower to a minimum of three days a week. In the table below you can see what a typical day of treatment might look like. However, this may change based on the unique needs of each client. Our Half-Day Outpatient Treatment Program is carefully designed to treat mental health conditions, delivering personalized guidance and support for long-term recovery.
