An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is typically a good fit for those who need extra mental health assistance but don't need hospitalization since it gives patients access to thorough mental health therapy while still allowing them to go home each night.
Patients could have to show up for a predetermined amount of hours or sessions each week. A teen's treatment plan could include therapies including group therapy, family therapy, and individual therapy. By focusing on things like building coping and communication skills, connecting with peers, and finding sustainable ways to manage mental challenges, adolescents and teens in an IOP can learn how to thrive.
