Situations that could qualify a patient for partial hospitalization may include:

  • Discharge from Inpatient Care
  • Treatment Necessity (step up from outpatient or intensive outpatient)
  • Mental Health Diagnosis
  • Functional Impairment
  • Safety Concerns
  • Clinical Needs & Treatment Goals

Intensive Outpatient Program

More Info

IOP aims to provide an alternative level of care to patients whose symptoms would be better managed than in outpatient care alone.
Admission to our intensive outpatient program also requires meeting specific criteria to ensure the program is appropriate to meet the patient’s needs. This structured treatment program occurs 3 days per week and is ideal for clients who have either stepped down from partial hospitalization to a less intensive level of care, or those who would like to step up from outpatient care or one on one therapy due to a need for a more intensive level of care.
