We do this by providing comprehensive mental health services accessible to everyone.

Medication Management

Whether you were admitted to one of our higher-level or lower-level care treatment programs, Ocean View Psychiatric Health Facility’s IOP programs offer medication management services under the supervision of our psychiatric team.

Mental Health Relapse Prevention 

An integral part of your IOP is building healthy skills to prevent relapse. Relapse prevention is a method for identifying and avoiding high-risk behaviors and situations. For example, you will develop a plan to address dangerous behaviors associated with your mental health challenges. The skills you will rely on are the holistic or behavior-based coping and stress management techniques.

Aftercare & Opt-In Patient Follow-Up 

Your aftercare plan isn’t developed as you prepare to return to your life outside of us. When you first create your treatment plan, you start planning your transition back into the real world. Our personalized approach includes:
  • Case manager support
  • Outpatient transitions
  • Housing or facility placements
  • Community support referrals
Our Opt-In Patient Follow-Up (Patient Resource Network) continues to provide support and encouragement after you transition back into your life.

When IOP Is Right for You

Deciding whether you need an intensive outpatient therapy program depends on the severity of your symptoms and how much support you require for stabilization.

An intensive outpatient treatment program can be a part of the transition from an inpatient treatment center or a partial hospitalization program. Additionally, it can become necessary to move to a higher level of care, for example, from an aftercare program to intensive outpatient treatment based on your specific symptoms.

An IOP may be suitable if your symptoms are less severe but still require structured support, ongoing medication management, and therapy to prevent relapse or hospitalization. It allows you to live at home while attending frequent therapy sessions and group activities.

The best way to determine your needs is to consult with a mental health professional who can assess your situation and recommend the appropriate level of care.

FAQs

How many hours a day is IOP?

At Ocean View, you will attend your intensive outpatient treatment program 4 days a week, from 10 am to 2:30 pm. This allows you the care you need to help understand and recognize your mental health disorder while also discovering coping skills that can reduce or help manage your mental health condition’s symptoms.

Typically, an intensive outpatient treatment program lasts from 8 to 12 weeks. However, your program can last longer, for example, up to 6 months. The length of your stay in an IOP depends on your treatment needs and progress during the program. Your overall wellness is essential for stabilizing and managing your symptoms in your daily life.

We accept most major insurance providers, including Medicare and private insurance plans. Our team will verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage options. We also offer private pay options.

Yes, we understand the importance of family in treating mental health issues. While Ocean View provides short-term crisis stabilization, our multidisciplinary team believes it is essential to involve families through support groups and family education. Our goal is to help patients and their loved ones build a strong support system that promotes long-term healing and stability. We encourage family participation to support positive outcomes and ongoing progress.

An outpatient program (IOP) is a less intensive form of treatment that requires fewer hours than a PHP. IOPs provide support for those who can manage their daily lives and often serve as a step-down from PHP or inpatient care.

A partial hospitalization program is a more intensive level of care that often requires 20 or more hours of structured treatment each week. These programs provide more mental health care and support for individuals. PHPs typically include full-day schedules.
