Adult Intensive Outpatient Program Q&A
What is an intensive outpatient program (IOP)?
IOPs are services EQ Perspectives offers to persons 18 and over. They help adults manage challenging mental health conditions when routine outpatient treatments aren’t enough.
An IOP requires attendance from 4pm to 7pm, 3 to 5 days a week. Some adults go into an IOP because they need ongoing support after completing a partial hospitalization program (PHP). Partial hospitalization requires the patient to visit the hospital each weekday from 9am to 3pm. In some cases, adults enter an IOP when they don’t progress enough while undergoing less intensive treatments.
Who benefits from IOPs?
The IOPs offered by EQ Perspectives are beneficial for adults with various mental health disorders, including:
- Major depressive disorder (MDD)
- Anxiety disorders
- Eating disorders
- Trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Substance use disorder (alcohol and drug misuse)
- Bipolar disorder
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Other mood disorders
- Suicidal intentions
At EQ Perspectives, we understand that these conditions are common in adulthood and can be devastating for a person’s mental health, physical health, and emotional well- being.
Our IOPs support adult patients in considerable distress and help prevent hospitalization for mental health challenges.
How does an IOP help with a psychiatric disorder?
Like PHPs, IOPs teach adults about emotional intelligence. Program participants learn how to identify and understand various emotions people feel in different situations, and develop smart emotional responses.
Sadly, while emotional intelligence is vital, it is often absent in adults affected by mental health disorders. The team at EQ Perspectives uses a holistic approach to teach emotional intelligence through activities, group work, and guided reflection.
Areas our IOP therapy sessions cover include:
- Building resilience
- Forming healthy relationships
- Resolving conflicts
- Identifying core values
- Personal validation
- Setting goals
- Learning coping skills
- Improving self-esteem
The EQ Perspectives team thoroughly evaluates each patient before they begin an IOP. This allows our team to design a personalized treatment plan which may include examining specific triggers of negative thoughts and actions, as well as identifying the underlying causes of poor mental health.
