Intensive Outpatient Program

Is your teen struggling with mental health challenges? Our Intensive Outpatient Program provides structured support and evidence-based treatment while allowing teens to maintain their daily routines.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides adolescents ages 10–18 with a higher level of support than traditional weekly outpatient therapy while remaining less intensive than inpatient treatment. The program is designed for teens who need additional support to manage their mental health, are transitioning from inpatient or residential care, are stepping down from a Partial Hospital level of care, or are experiencing moderate to severe mental health symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a typical day in adolescent IOP treatment look like?
Typically, IOP takes place after school or in the early evening 3 to 5 days per week. An IOP treatment day consists of three groups, weekly individual and family sessions, and coordination with community providers, allowing for smooth transition back to outpatient treatment when appropriate. A typical IOP length of stay is anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks.
What is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for teens?
IOP is a step up from regular outpatient therapy. It is a more intensive treatment with groups, individual, and family therapy. Usually, it is 9 hours per week for a period of 4-8 weeks. It is a great model for skill building, extended support, and intensive therapy.
Can teens continue school while in treatment?
Teens can attend school while attending IOP in the evening.
Can teens continue school while in treatment?
Teens participating in PHP will receive education services from LearnWell Academics while in program. This allows teens to continue their education and not fall behind while receiving treatment.
What is the difference between IOP and PHP for adolescents?
IOP typically runs in the evening and for 3 hours per day. PHP is an alternative to inpatient hospitalization, allowing the patient to attend a full day of treatment and return home in the evening.
