Assessments & Referrals
Referrals to our program may be made by a family physician, nurse, mental health professional, assisted living facility and others concerned about the welfare of their family member, friend or loved one. Patients can also self-refer into the program. If you are calling on behalf of a family member or friend, please be aware that we need to speak with the patient directly to begin the intake process. If this individual is not available, we are happy to provide information and answer any questions you may have, and they can call back at any time during business hours to begin the intake process.
The first step of the intake process is to complete a confidential assessment. Our program utilizes questionnaires that are sent via text message or email. You may also schedule a time to use one of the devices at the program to fill out these questionnaires. The purpose of these documents are so that program staff can obtain a greater understanding of your needs and in turn identify the best supports for you. Once this questionnaire is completed and reviewed by one of our clinical team, our staff will reach out to discuss your treatment.

What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a structured form of treatment for people struggling with mental health or substance use disorders. It falls between traditional outpatient counseling and inpatient/residential treatment in terms of the level of care.
An IOP offers a variety of treatments and therapies to address a wide range of mental health conditions, including:
Depression
Anxiety
Trauma
Addiction
Eating disorders
Bipolar disorder
Schizophrenia
Features of an Intensive Outpatient Program
Key features of an intensive outpatient program may include:
Structured sessions: Participants attend regularly scheduled sessions that often occur several times per week, with each session lasting a few hours.
Therapeutic services: An IOP often offers a range of therapeutic services, including individual counseling, group therapy, and sometimes family therapy.
Flexibility: Unlike inpatient programs, participants in an IOP are able to live at home and continue with their daily responsibilities, such as work or school.
Multidisciplinary approach: Treatment in an IOP often involves a multidisciplinary team, which may include therapists, counselors, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals.
Focus on skill building: An IOP often emphasizes the development of coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and other tools. The goal is to help people manage their mental health or substance use issues and develop healthy coping strategies that can sustain recovery in the long-term.
Duration: The duration of an IOP can vary, but it is often more time-intensive than standard outpatient counseling. The length of participation may depend on the person’s progress and the severity of their condition.
Who Benefits from an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An intensive outpatient program is designed to provide a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy while still allowing people to maintain some level of independence and connection to their daily lives.
It can be a valuable option for those who need more support than outpatient counseling but do not need the level of care provided by inpatient or residential programs.
