Dover Behavioral Health System - Adult Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Part-Time Outpatient Treatment for Adults

Our Adult Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a part-time day program that allows for the most freedom for patients while also offering structure, therapies and counseling. Patients attend sessions during the day and then return home to manage their normal work and family responsibilities.

An IOP can benefit those trying out treatment for the first time, while also providing a great step-down option for those in long-term residential treatment or a partial hospitalization program (PHP).

Our mental health IOP sessions are offered Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Conditions Treated

Patients can receive treatment for many mental health disorders including:

  • Depression
  • Mood disorders
  • Anxiety disorders
  • A history of trauma
  • Suicidal ideation
  • Self-harm behaviors

Services Provided in the Program

  • Group therapy
  • Individual and family sessions
  • Individualized clinical services
  • Medication management

An IOP may be appropriate for you if you:

  • Want added support for a mental health disorder but don’t need a full-day program
  • Would benefit from a program that can provide stabilization to avoid a mental health crisis
  • Need a shorter program that fits around your day-to-day responsibilities
  • Are “stepping down” from a PHP or inpatient treatment and want more intensive care than weekly therapy sessions can provide
