Intensive Outpatient Program

BY Woodridge Hospital

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Woodridge Hospital treats patients experiencing mild to moderate symptoms of distress or impaired function due to a psychiatric illness and/or substance abuse issues. The program includes group therapy, medication management and may include individual or group therapy as needed. IOP is an intensive level of care, offering group therapy three times a week for three hours each day. There are two different groups offered. The morning group is a psychiatric intensive group that is geared toward patients with a primary mental health diagnosis. The evening group is a dual diagnosis group that is geared towards patients facing challenges with alcohol or drug dependence and/or with mental health illness. Both groups are led by a trained therapist.
