Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between PHP and IOP?
PHP is more intensive, with full-day programming. IOP is a step-down level offering therapy 5 days a week for 3–6 hours per day, allowing teens to return to school and community life.
How do I know if my teen is ready for IOP?
Readiness is based on clinical stability, emotional regulation progress, group participation, and coping skill use—evaluated by our treatment team in collaboration with the family.
Can my teen attend school while in IOP?
Yes. IOP sessions are designed to work around school hours. We also help with academic support and coordination as needed.
What are the main goals during IOP?
IOP reinforces coping strategies, supports relapse prevention, fosters autonomy, and helps clients transition successfully back into family, school, and social routines.
