Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

When people think of an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), they’re often intimidated just by the title. However, in a warm and caring environment, an IOP is an opportunity for patients to undergo more in-depth treatment to help them recover from a mental illness.

At Harmony Bay, we combine both the clinical aspects of mental health therapy with a more personalized approach that enables you to heal in all areas of your life. That way, you don’t feel as if you are entering some cold facility where no one is listening or cares about what is going on with your situation.

Harmony Bay offers an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for those who need assistance stabilizing mental health symptoms currently being experienced.

Clients with a personalized treatment plan that includes IOP receive at least nine hours of outpatient therapy weekly. Clients on this treatment schedule typically meet with their specialist three to five times weekly. The length of the client’s appointment varies from one to three hours.
Although these extended appointments may seem intense, this additional time gives the client the space necessary to think about, feel and then express their most rooted mental health issues.
