What to Expect in our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation

Your IOP begins with a thorough evaluation to map out the severity of your symptoms, any co-occurring conditions, and your personal goals. This assessment lays the groundwork for a custom treatment strategy.

Skill-Building & Training

Through daily sessions, you’ll engage in activities that help you develop practical skills to combat obsessive thoughts, reduce compulsive behaviors, and cope with anxiety triggers in real-time.

Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP)

ERP is a cornerstone of OCD and anxiety treatment, teaching you how to face your fears step by step. You’ll learn to resist the urge to perform anxiety-driven behaviors, gradually breaking free from the cycle of avoidance.

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT encourages you to challenge negative thought patterns and adopt healthier perspectives, fostering long-term resilience against intrusive thoughts and anxious feelings.

Family Systems Support

Where appropriate, we include family or loved ones in the recovery process. This support network can play a crucial role in reinforcing new skills and nurturing a stable, uplifting environment.

Ongoing Assessment & Adaptation

Our treatment team regularly evaluates your progress, making real-time adjustments to ensure therapies remain effective and aligned with your evolving needs.
