What Is A Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

 

A Virtual IOP bridges the gap between traditional outpatient care and more intensive residential treatment. It provides a higher level of therapeutic support than weekly therapy sessions while allowing participants to maintain their daily routines, such as work, school, and family responsibilities. This makes it an excellent option for those transitioning from inpatient or residential treatment or stepping down from a partial hospitalization program (PHP). New Dimensions Virtual IOP program offers comprehensive therapy sessions, group support environments, and in-depth psychiatric consultations, all delivered with the same level of quality and confidentiality as in-person group therapy.  Virtual IOP is led by licensed professionals who facilitate the program 9-15 hours per week. The average length of time for treatment for most clients is up to 8 weeks.  There is an aftercare program following discharge so that clients can continue their recovery with support.  This telehealth approach expands access and integrates easily into the daily lives of clients making the path to recovery as supportive as possible. and  Participants in the Virtual Intensive IOP at New Dimensions receive group sessions up to five days a week. Treatment includes group psychotherapy and educational sessions focused on mental health awareness, practical coping skills, anger management, medication management, and sobriety recovery and maintenance. We facilitate meaningful progress in a convenient virtual outpatient setting through group therapy, counseling and personalized treatment plans.
