What is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

Hopewell Health Solutions offers a range of intensive outpatient mental health treatment programs for adolescents, adults, and women, designed to support individuals who need structured therapeutic care without requiring overnight stays. Our IOPs provide a comprehensive level of treatment that includes individual and group counseling, skills-based psychotherapy, psychiatric medication management, and experiential therapies, all while allowing participants to maintain their daily routines at home, work, or school.

What does the Intensive Outpatient Program include?

Our IOPs meet four times per week in the evening or daytime, depending on the track:

• Adolescent Wellness IOP (ages 13–17): Monday–Thursday from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m
• Tween Wellness IOP (ages 8-12): Monday–Thursday from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.
• Women's Wellness IOP (18+): Monday–Thursday from 5:00 – 8:00 p.m.
• Adult Wellness IOP (18+): Monday–Thursday from 9:00 a.m – 12:00 p.m.

Each program typically runs for 8–12 weeks, and treatment includes evidence-based modalities like Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, mindfulness, and expressive therapies such as art, music, and yoga. Family involvement is encouraged in our tweens and adolescent programs, with parents invited to attend sessions to learn the skills and strategies being taught.
