Intensive Outpatient Programs

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are designed to offer professional and peer support for clients and their families in a group setting. IOP groups meet three days each week and run for 8-12 weeks. Each group fosters corrective experiences participants while incorporating elements of evidence-based therapies such as Functional Family Therapy (FFT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

About Intensive Outpatient Programs

IOPs most often benefit clients who are struggling to see progress in outpatient psychotherapy. On average, an IOP runs approximately 6-8 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.

Why Lorenz Clinic’s IOP

The program’s purpose is to treat problems, not just symptoms. Lorenz’s family focus differentiates this program from others in the area because this IOP features concurrent parent/family education, conjoint family therapy, and robust, eco-systemic discharge and step-down planning. There is close integration between the IOP and Lorenz’s other services including psychiatry, psychological testing, and outpatient psychotherapy.

Lorenz Clinic is also highly collaborative with referring partners and works closely with them to better support clients. Should an agency refer to Lorenz, they can expect the opportunity for communication during the intake process. Referrers can call Intake and ask to speak with someone about referral partnerships. The overall goal is to provide clients with the greatest opportunity to have positive outcomes, avoiding removal from home and long term hospitalization, or other disruptions in their daily lives.

IOP Overview

Sometimes regular therapy an hour each week isn’t enough. IOP is one level higher in the spectrum of care. Our IOP is designed to help families avoid costly hospitalizations that interrupt daily life. We closely collaborate with referring clinicians so that they don’t lose track of their client in the system. This IOP serves as the next step in offering a peer support structure while including the various touch points associated with psychotherapy. Lorenz’s IOP is unique in that it integrates all of the Clinic’s services while aiming to build an inclusive community for the client’s family and loved ones.

IOP has a weekly curriculum and theme that it follows. It integrates elements of DBT skills and other therapy models.
