What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment is a form of treatment designed to help those with mental health conditions, substance abuse disorders, and dual diagnoses through a combination of group and individual therapy. Qualified mental health professionals lead clients through behavioral health programming, providing personalized treatment plans, evidence-based programs, and psychoeducation resources. 

Studies have demonstrated that “IOP treatment group made statistically reliable and clinically significant improvements on every symptom scale, moved to a less severe range of functioning, and improved GAF (Global Assessment Functioning) scores while being treated on an outpatient basis.”1 The goal of intensive outpatient treatment is to equip clients with mental health services and coping skills for long-term recovery and wellness.  

IOP programs provide comprehensive mental health treatment and thorough access to health care, but at a more flexible schedule. AMFM Mental Health Treatment in Virginia offers outpatient programs, with both in-person and virtual telehealth treatment options to meet your individual needs. AMFM Mental Health Treatment also offers programming in California and Washington.

What Does an Average Day at an AMFM Mental Health Treatment Facility in Virginia Look Like?

AMFM Mental Health Treatment outpatient services offer both virtual and in-person programming; outpatient mental health treatment helps provide a more flexible alternative to residential treatment, with a combination of individual and group therapies meeting on weekly or bi-weekly schedules.

Because many IOP programs are virtual, they can allow you or your loved one to continue with regularly scheduled activities, like work and/or schooling, while continuing to put your mental and emotional health at the forefront of your life. Our outpatient programming usually consists of nine or more hours of mental health care spread out over a few days, and can be available for morning and evening scheduling. AMFM takes a holistic approach to healing; IOPs provide a supportive environment, hands-on case management, and compassionate care.

Mental health programming usually consists of a combination of psychotherapy modalities, including but not limited to the following:

Group Therapy

Group therapy sessions can be used to help provide structured times to help you understand that you are not alone in your struggles, that your peers are also walking through these challenges, while also providing guidance, suggestions and communications from psychologists with specialized backgrounds 3

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy that’s focused on restructuring and reprogramming maladaptive and negative thought processes 4. Psychologists are trained to help you change your cognitive and emotional processes in order to outgrow coping mechanisms that may no longer be serving you. CBT has been proven to help with increasing mindfulness for long-term recovery.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is most commonly referred to as “talk therapy,” and is designed to help foster healthier emotional regulation. Qualified professionals offer psychological therapy to move forward with healthy ways of engaging in interpersonal relationships and alleviating physical and emotional distress.

Music Therapy

Music therapy allows clients a more expressive way to confront their mental health challenges, with somatic modalities and emotional processing at the forefront of the methodology. AMFM Mental Health Treatment Virginia offers music therapy.

Family Therapy

Both inpatient and outpatient facilities usually offer family support groups and resources for family members on a regular basis. At AMFM, we know that healing and growing can take a village, and you and your loved ones are in good hands.

Inpatient vs. Outpatient Treatment Programs

Inpatient Treatment usually refers to live-in 24/7 residential mental health treatment services, while Outpatient Treatment refers to mental health programming that’s limited to a certain number of hours a day. Inpatient treatment tends to provide a higher level of care, due to the around-the-clock nature of the programming, and may be helpful for those with more intense mental health or physical health needs. AMFM Mental Health Treatment offers both residential inpatient and outpatient mental health programs in Virginia.

However, both inpatient and outpatient treatment plans with AMFM Mental Health Treatment offer a high standard of care and attention, thorough programming, psychiatry assistance and medication management, and upon exit, aftercare and relapse prevention strategies. 

AMFM Mental Health in Virginia also offers partial hospitalization programs (PHP) which usually consists of a higher frequency of programming than IOP, but not quite as often as residential treatment. Some may see IOP as a step-down from residential care, but only in the number of hours, never in the quality of care.
