Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
What Is Mental Health IOP
The Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Epic Health Partners is designed for adults experiencing moderate to severe mental health symptoms that interfere with daily functioning — but who do not require inpatient hospitalization.
IOP is a clinically structured program that provides multiple therapy sessions per week, psychiatric oversight, and coordinated support — all while allowing clients to live at home and maintain responsibilities.
Whether you’re facing persistent depression, anxiety, trauma, or mood instability, IOP offers the structure and consistency needed to stabilize and move forward.
Why Epic’s IOP Works
Structured, But Still Independent
Clients attend multiple sessions per week (typically 3–5 days), receiving focused support while maintaining the ability to live at home and engage with work, school, or family.
Multidisciplinary Clinical Support
Each client is supported by a team that may include licensed therapists, psychiatric providers, peer specialists, and case managers — ensuring holistic, connected care.
More Than Talk Therapy
Our IOP combines evidence-based group and individual therapy, psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and care planning — all grounded in trauma-informed, person-centered practices.
A Proven Step-Up or Step-Down Option
IOP is ideal for individuals stepping down from inpatient hospitalization or PHP — or those stepping up from standard outpatient therapy when symptoms worsen.
