Psychiatric Intensive Outpatient

Adult IOP: Why Choose The Brook Hospitals?

Sometimes, mental health challenges require more than a weekly therapy session. You may need more intensive therapy that also allows you to attend to your life and responsibilities.

The adult intensive outpatient program (IOP) at The Brook Hospitals helps you find the balance between healing and living your life. The program provides focused outpatient group therapy for adults 18+ who have a psychiatric or emotional disorder. You attend the IOP for several hours a day, five days a week. You can choose from day, evening and virtual options that fit your schedule.

We designed the adult intensive outpatient program to fit around your life. This IOP provides consistent, specialized mental health support to help you start feeling like yourself again while maintaining your daily responsibilities.

Highlights of our IOP include:

  • Focused support: Our IOP offers a deeper level of care than traditional therapy. You get the guidance and tools to make progress while staying connected to your day-to-day life.
  • Flexible options: The program provides three hours of group therapy five days a week. We offer in-person and virtual sessions, allowing you to participate in most of your daily activities, including work.
  • Community atmosphere: Our aim is to ensure participants feel heard and respected. We want everyone to feel comfortable sharing their journey and learning from their peers in group therapy.
  • Trauma-informed therapy: We provide you with a space where you are seen and understood. Providers help you process your history and find strength and healing.
  • Care that changes with your needs: Healing doesn’t happen in a straight line. We regularly assess your goals to see if you need a different level of care. That could mean transitioning away from an IOP to traditional therapy or stepping up to our adult partial hospitalization program (PHP) or adult inpatient psychiatric treatment.

The program provides three hours of group therapy Monday through Friday. We offer morning in-person sessions and evening virtual sessions. Morning programs run from 9 a.m. to noon. Evening virtual programs run from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.
