Intensive Outpatient Program
Put Your Sobriety First
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) assists people who need continual assistance with Depression and Anxiety Disorders and/or substance addiction. When one hour a week conventional therapy won’t do the trick, people have three hours of treatment multiple times a week to learn innovative tools to address their problems at the root, for lasting success.
Our intensive day treatment program is designed for clients who would like to attend our intensive psychological program while residing in their own homes or personal living environments. While attending day treatment, clients may reside at home with family members, in apartments by themselves or with roommates, or in transitional housing and/or sober living environments.
The Basic Steps Day Treatment Program is the best fit for persons with psychological and dual diagnoses who do not require treatment with a supportive housing level program but need more than weekly psychotherapy. It is also appropriate for clients who are transitioning out of a psychiatric hospital, drug, and alcohol treatment center, or another residential treatment program or IOP. Basic Steps Mental Health’s Day Program is also suitable for individuals who are struggling in other Intensive Outpatient (IOP) or Outpatient programs and recognize the need to receive the highest quality of clinical care available.
What To Expect in Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Basic Steps Mental Health is dedicated to getting you or your loved one re-integrated into life. With this goal in mind, we offer Day / Intensive Outpatient Treatment (IOP) options for our clients transitioning from Basic Steps’ Treatment with Supportive Housing programs to a lower level of care.
Day / IOP options allow our clients to remain engaged in treatment while also having the opportunity to re-establish themselves in their personal, social, and professional lives. When a client has progressed in treatment sufficiently, at the discretion of their Program Director, they can customize their treatment program to decrease to one to three days of treatment each week during hours that complement previous or new work and/or personal schedules. This type of treatment flexibility and customization allows Basic Steps clients to smoothly transition to lower levels of care and gradually re-enter their everyday lives while learning how to efficiently apply the skills and insight they have acquired in our treatment programs.
