At The Timothy Center, we believe that Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) can be a highly effective treatment option for individuals struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. IOPs provide a level of care that is more intensive than traditional outpatient services, but less restrictive than inpatient treatment programs.
Our IOPs are designed to provide comprehensive, personalized care to each patient, and we work closely with individuals and families to develop treatment plans that address their unique needs and goals.
What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a type of treatment program that provides comprehensive care for individuals struggling with mental health and substance abuse issues. IOPs are designed to provide a high level of care while allowing patients to continue living at home and maintaining their daily routines.
IOPs typically involve a minimum of nine hours of treatment per week, which can be spread out over multiple days. This allows patients to receive structured treatment while still being able to work, attend school, or care for their families.
IOPs differ from inpatient programs in that patients are not required to stay at a treatment facility. Instead, they can return home at the end of each day and continue to participate in their regular routines. This can be especially beneficial for individuals who require a high level of care but are not able or willing to commit to a residential treatment program.
At The Timothy Center, our IOPs are designed to provide a wide range of services to support individuals in their journey to recovery. These services may include individual and group therapy, psychoeducation, family therapy, and holistic therapies such as mindfulness and yoga. Our IOPs also provide medication management for individuals who require psychiatric medications.
