Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for mental health care

When it comes to mental health care, there is a need that lies between regular clinic visits with a psychiatrist or counselor and 24-hour inpatient care. That’s where our Intensive Outpatient Program comes in.

We help fill the gap for adults who would benefit from more than a visit but do not need 24-hour care.

  • Manage depression/depressive disorders.
  • Manage anxiety/anxiety disorders.
  • Manage stress/stress-related disorders.
  • Develop or improve coping skills.
  • Manage the emotional effects of complex issues.
  • Stabilize mental health symptoms.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a treatment option that tailors the care provided to the needs of participants by offering 9-19 hours of service in the form of group therapy, individual therapy, medication management, and case management each week.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) provide treatment for mental health disorders like depression, anxiety, and those individuals with a mental health disorder and co-occurring substance use disorder. IOPs are not designed to replace hospitalization for those who need that level of care. Instead, IOPs provide early intervention to mitigate escalating mental health symptoms to avoid psychiatric hospitalization. IOPs can also offer a step-down level of care for those who have experienced a psychiatric hospitalization or psychiatric emergency room visit and need some additional stabilization support following discharge.

You are not alone.
Having an Intensive Outpatient program in Winona helps make it possible for you to receive mental health care right here close to home.

This program has proven results in reducing the need for psychiatric hospitalization or readmission by helping to fill the gap between traditional outpatient mental health services and inpatient hospital care.
