Opening Late 2026: The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) will provide comprehensive, short-term treatment for children and teens ages eight to 17 who are experiencing behavioral, emotional or relational challenges. This program is designed to help youth safely remain in their homes and communities while receiving intensive clinical support to build coping skills, strengthen relationships and develop strategies to manage emotions and behaviors effectively.
Why Intensive Outpatient Treatment Might Be the Right Fit
Intensive outpatient treatment will offer a middle ground between inpatient treatment and traditional outpatient therapy. It will be ideal for youth who need more structure and support than weekly therapy but do not require day treatment.
Intensive outpatient treatment will give families the intensive clinical support they need while keeping youth connected to school, family and daily routines. This program is designed to be a bridge, offering more support than basic outpatient care, but less intensive than our partial hospitalization program (PHP). It can be a helpful next step after a higher level of care or a stronger option if current services aren’t meeting a child’s needs.
