SAFE PASSAGE
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) 
NOW OPEN!​

 

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured level of care for people who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy but don’t require inpatient treatment.

​

It’s designed to stabilize symptoms, build skills, and keep people well in their community, so they can thrive at home, at work, and at school.

Is IOP right for me?

Our IOP programs serve youth ages 11-17 and adults 18+. We treat a wide range of psychiatric disorders, including depression, anxiety, bipolar spectrum disorders, trauma-related disorders, and co-occurring stressors.

IOP is an excellent option for :

​

  • Individuals stepping down from inpatient or residential care

  • Those experiencing escalating symptoms who want to avoid hospitalization

  • People who need intensive weekly support  (9+ hours per week)

​

What we offer

  • Therapeutic group focused on skills, support, and psychoeducation

  • Individual therapy (as clinically indicated)

  • Family therapy (as clinically indicated) to strengthen communication and support at home

  • Care coordination with prescribers and outpatient providers

  • Personalized safety planning and relapse-prevention strategies

 

What to expect in group

In our program, you’ll learn to recognize and reshape negative emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, while developing mindfulness skills and practical coping tools to support your well-being long after treatment ends.

Each group blends evidence-based approaches—CBT, DBT-informed skills, trauma-informed care, and mind-body strategies—with practical tools you can use right away. Topics include:
