Services for Adults

Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Care

Our Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (MHIOP) is a step down for those who no longer require the intensity of inpatient hospitalization or for individuals who require a higher level of care than traditional outpatient services provide. MHIOP can also be a step up from traditional outpatient services and offers additional support and structure for those at risk of psychiatric hospitalization. Individuals will be able to apply the skills and coping strategies they are learning in therapy to their everyday lives. Patients may be experiencing a variety of mental health issues including but not limited to:

• Depression
• Anxiety
• Loss and grief
• Trauma
• Lack of motivation
• Difficulty focusing or concentrating
• Co-occurring medical conditions
• Post-partum depression
• Workplace stress
• Suicidal thoughts
• Irritability, anger, isolation, panic, or fear
• Sleep and appetite disturbances
• Social withdrawal
• Loss of interest in appearance
• Hallucinations
• Confusion
• Cognitive impairment due to depressive symptoms
