IOP Mental Health is a program for clients needing a higher level of care or having worsening of symptoms; it is also used as a step down program for clients recently discharged from a hospital stay.

During this program clients participate in group therapy, where we use state of the art therapeutic approaches in a safe and nurturing setting. We offer support in a small group atmosphere with customized treatment plans facilitated by our highly trained team of therapists. Our rapid stabilization approach has helped numerous clients through difficult periods in their lives.

We received the distinguished CARF International Accreditation in 2015. Achieving this accreditation requires an organization to commit to quality improvement, to focus on the unique needs of each person served, and to monitor the results of its programs and services.

What happens during IOP?

Our group therapy format combines process and psycho-education where problem solving, interactive exercise, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, family of origin, and experiential techniques are used. All groups are tailored to address each individual’s needs. Clinicians introduce concepts and tools aimed to help clients learn how to cope more effectively in their daily lives and clients are give the opportunity to practice these skills during group. Our main goal is to increase each client’s ability to tolerate distress, regulate their emotions and learn to apply coping skills in order to manage their mental health conditions and improve their overall functioning.

Is IOP For Me?

Are you having a difficult time coping with life in general or cannot function on a day-to-day basis? Do you feel hopeless or sad?  Do you worry excessively or feel anxious alot? Do you have difficulty with personal or work setting relationships? Are you having self harm or suicidal thoughts? Do you have impulsive behaviors or mood swings? Do you have irrational fears that interfere with your life? These are just some of the conditions we work with at our program. Our goal is to help clients get back to living their life as normally and productively as possible, as soon as possible.

Who Is Eligible?

Our program is designed for people struggling with an emotional setback or worsening of mental health symptoms. Eligibility is determined by a clinical assessment, which is conducted by a psychiatrist. An assessment allows us to efficiently and effectively evaluate how clients are functioning emotionally and to determine if they meet criteria for our program. The assessment involves a clinical and medical assessment that will include a consultation, questionnaires, medical histories and psycho-social evaluations. Our program is customized for each client, so the more detailed our knowledge is of the client’s total state of being, the better the treatment plan will be. Upon completion our staff will discuss the program’s process and your start date.

How Long Is IOP?

Although an individual’s length of stay could vary, typically clients continue in IOP for about six to eight weeks. During our program, clients have a psychological evaluation, medication management, if needed, and an individualized therapeutic support session. The goal of the support session is to provide the client and their support network with information and to establish a dialogue and plan that will assist in the client’s recovery. Before leaving the program, IOP team leaders work with clients regarding a discharge plan and provider resources for continued outpatient treatment and support groups in their own community.

“I attended the program for 17 sessions. It is a very intense program, but worth it. I learned useful coping skills and the counselors were very helpful. I would recommend that you get a date of release from Dr. Bajwa on the day of your assessment if you have to be out of work. Also be advised that you cannot be out for more than one session per week. Your sessions will be 3 days a week.” Samantha S.
