Outpatient mental health care
Outpatient mental health care refers to intensive behavioral health services that do not require an overnight hospital stay. Outpatient care offers the benefits of psychological treatment while also allowing you to return home each day.

Outpatient mental health services for adults and teens
Our intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) for both adults and adolescents emphasize engagement, empowerment and accountability to bring about positive outcomes.
Adolescent IOP
The IOP for teens, ages 12 to 17 years old, offers specialized treatment for adolescents. The program meets three days a week —Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday — from 5:30pm to 8:30pm.
We provide a safe environment with professional staff who are trained to work with adolescents. Care focuses on developing healthy coping skills and reducing negative behaviors.
Our Adolescent outpatient program is LGBTQ+ friendly and offers family and individual sessions as needed.
Adult IOP
Our adult IOP offers specialized treatment for adults who do not require the structure of an inpatient level of care or are transitioning from an inpatient program. It is a three-day-a-week program, for a total of nine hours.
Programs meet in person, with telehealth options available during the daytime and evening hours.
Treatment services may include cognitive behavioral therapy, psychotherapy, solution-focused therapy, music therapy and recreational therapy. Active participation in your care will bring about the best outcomes and hope for long-term recovery, so we do everything we can to support this. We also encourage you to include your family in your treatment as much as possible.
