About Intensive Outpatient Programs for Mental Health
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides intensive treatment while allowing clients to remain independent in their daily lives. Unlike residential treatment programs, which require participants to live onsite while receiving treatment, IOPs enable clients to continue living at home while attending regular weekly therapy sessions.
During an IOP for mental health care at GBBH, clients can expect structured group psychotherapy sessions led by experienced clinicians who specialize in treating various psychological disorders. The focus of these sessions will vary depending on the individual’s needs but typically include the following:
- Education about the client’s mental health concern
- Learning new and proper coping skills
- Practicing healthier communication techniques
In addition, clients may also benefit from services such as medication-assisted treatment (MAT) or community reinforcement and family training (CRAFT). MAT and medication management are essential for individuals struggling with mental health conditions managed or exacerbated by medication. CRAFT helps family members learn how to effectively support their loved one struggling with a mental health condition. However, psychotherapy serves as the primary mode of intervention in intensive outpatient programs.
