Intensive Outpatient Program

IOP Treatment at Canyon Ridge Hospital: Why Choose Us?

The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Canyon Ridge Hospital helps adults 18 and older recover from mental health issues while living at home. Our IOP treatment program meets three days a week from 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. You can choose which three days you’d like to attend.

If you work, you can attend evening sessions from 6 to 9 p.m. The daytime and evening programs are available in person or virtually. We provide meals and snacks if you attend in person.

IOP is more intensive than traditional therapy. You may step down to IOP treatment after completing our partial hospitalization program (PHP). Or you may enter the program directly with a referral from another provider.

Group therapy forms the basis of IOP. You attend several group sessions a week, instead of meeting with a therapist once a week. Our compassionate mental health providers give you the tools you need to be the best version of yourself.

At Canyon Ridge Hospital, you’ll find:

• Skilled care providers: Our staff is trained to take a trauma-informed approach to meet you where you’re at. Therapists, psychiatrists, nurses and a patient coordinator tailor treatment to your needs.
• Group therapy sessions: Group therapy helps you feel seen and allows you to learn from other people’s experiences.
• Evidence-based treatment: Our treatments include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). They are grounded in research, designed to help you recover and thrive.
• Dual-diagnosis track: You may be experiencing mental health issues along with a substance use disorder. We offer a dual-diagnosis program to help you manage both concerns.
• Transportation: Transportation options may be available – please contact us to learn more.
• Virtual programming: Our IOP treatment program is available in person or virtually, so you can choose the option that works best for you.
• Flexible scheduling: We offer makeup sessions on Saturdays, if you can’t attend a day during the week.
