Intensive Outpatient (IOP) programs

This site does not rank or recommend one program as best.

Programs below are listed alphabetically by program name.

What is intensive outpatient (IOP)?

Intensive outpatient programs combine group and individual therapy for roughly three hours a day, commonly three to five days a week and often scheduled after school. Participants live at home and usually keep attending school or work.

Who this level of care is for

Programs at this level typically serve children and teens who need more support than weekly therapy provides but can stay in their normal routine — frequently as a step down from PHP or an inpatient stay, or as a first structured step when symptoms are escalating. Each program sets its own age ranges, admission criteria, and clinical focus.
