Need More Support Than Weekly Therapy? An IOP May Be the Next Step

For some people, traditional once-a-week therapy provides the support they need. For others, there may be times when more frequent and structured care is helpful—without requiring an overnight stay at a treatment facility.

That’s where an Intensive Outpatient Program, commonly known as an IOP, may be an option.

BOLD Health provides an intensive outpatient program in San Diego designed for individuals who need a higher level of mental health support while still maintaining much of their everyday routine.

What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An IOP provides structured treatment several days per week while allowing participants to return home after programming.

Depending on an individual's needs and treatment plan, care may include individual therapy, group therapy, psychiatric support, medication management, and other evidence-based approaches.

This level of care can provide more structure and support than traditional outpatient therapy without the 24-hour environment of inpatient or residential treatment.

Who Might Benefit From an IOP?

An intensive outpatient program may be appropriate for people experiencing mental health symptoms that are significantly affecting their daily lives or for those who need additional support following a higher level of care.

Every person's situation is different, which is why determining the appropriate level of care should begin with a professional assessment.
