Program

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our flagship program brings evidence-based therapy together several times a week — so you get real momentum without stepping away from work, school, or home. You'll build skills, find community, and have a team in your corner.

A warm, light-filled therapy session in a comfortable Arcadia setting.

Who it's for

Is this program right for you?

Adults and young adults who need more than weekly therapy but can safely live at home.

What's included

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
  • Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

What a week looks like

About 3 hours a day, 3–5 days a week — daytime and evening tracks.

  1. 1

    Check-in

    Brief individual check-in and goal-setting for the day.

  2. 2

    Skills group

    CBT/DBT skills you can use right away — coping, regulation, relationships.

  3. 3

    Process group

    Supportive, facilitated group to work through what's coming up.

  4. 4

    Individual & psychiatry

    1:1 therapy and medication management as part of your plan.

  5. 5

    Family touchpoint

    Optional family sessions to strengthen support at home.

IOP often follows a higher level of care like PHP, or serves as a step up from weekly outpatient therapy when you need more structure.
