INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM (IOP)

Begin Your Breakthrough

When depression, anxiety, or trauma feel like more than weekly therapy can handle, you don't have to manage it alone. Our intensive outpatient program offers structured, compassionate support, with new participants admitted weekly.

Schedule an IOP Assessment

Are you struggling to cope with depression, anxiety, or trauma?

Begin your breakthrough in a structured, supportive small-group environment designed to enhance mental well-being, build resilience, and help you navigate life with greater confidence. Family Care Center’s mental health IOP provides adults and teens with a higher level of care than routine appointments while offering more flexibility than inpatient treatment.

IOP can serve as a step-down from inpatient care or as a proactive alternative for those who may benefit from more support and structure without hospitalization. New participants can enroll weekly, making it easier to access care when you need it.

Each participant works alongside a dedicated care team that coordinates closely with their existing therapist or prescriber when appropriate, helping ensure treatment remains connected and consistent.

Please note, this is not a substance abuse program.

IOP Testimonials

"The providers paid wonderful attention to everything I needed help with, and they continued to remember everything I said throughout all the weeks! It was peaceful and even fun sometimes!"

"The consolidated nature of the program and group environment allowed my client to learn skills and gain understanding into her behaviors in a way we have not been able to do in individual therapy."

"The doctors took the time to work with us and give us time to work through emotions and events that had a large impact on us. The support of the groups also made it easier to feel validated and supported in our endeavors."

"My client was actively suicidal and had a tendency for extreme dysregulation when starting IOP. Since completing the program, she has reported no suicidal ideation for months and is able to use the coping skills she has learned effectively and consistently."

"The program was excellent and effective, life changing for me, and my family has benefited greatly."
