About Intensive Outpatient Programs

The program’s purpose will be to treat problems, not just symptoms. The clinic’s systemic focus will differentiate this program from others in the area in that the IOP will feature concurrent parent/family education, family therapy, and robust, eco-systemic discharge and step-down planning. There will be close integration between the IOP and the Clinic’s other services including psychiatry, psychological testing, and outpatient psychotherapy. 

IOPs benefit clients who are struggling to see progress in outpatient psychotherapy. On average, an IOP runs approximately 6 weeks but can last up to 12 weeks dependent on the group and focus. This program is designed with the whole picture in mind, offering therapy and peer support for both the client and their families. The goal is to help benefit the client while creating a community of support for the client’s family and loved ones.

Interested parties should call to schedule an  appointment at 952-443-4600. Clients will be scheduled with an intake appointment to determine if IOP is the right level of care. The clinic will work with potential clients to determine insurance eligibility and scheduling.
