Intensive Outpatient Program

At Pasadena Villa Outpatient, our intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides focused, evidence-based mental health treatment for adults who need more structured support than traditional therapy alone. IOP offers the flexibility to maintain work, school, and family commitments while building the skills and stability needed for lasting recovery.

Insurance + Payment

In-network with most major insurance providers.

We also accept out-of-network benefits from additional carriers, and private pay is available for those who prefer to pay directly. Our North Carolina and Virginia locations are participating providers in the VA Community Care Network, expanding access to care for eligible veterans. Contact our admissions team to verify coverage or learn more about payment options.

Please note we do not accept Medicare or Medicaid.

About IOP

Our intensive outpatient program (IOP) is designed for individuals experiencing worsening mental health symptoms or those who need more support than traditional therapy provides. The program delivers structured, comprehensive treatment in group settings, using the same evidence-based therapies offered in our residential and partial hospitalization programs.

Pasadena Villa’s IOP serves as a direct entry point to treatment, a step down from our partial hospitalization program (PHP), or a step up from traditional outpatient therapy. Clients attend a minimum of three hours of programming each day, three to five days per week — a schedule designed to support recovery while maintaining work, school, family, and other daily responsibilities.

✔ Flexible, half-day structured programming

FAQs

What is IOP?

An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a flexible level of outpatient mental health treatment offering 9–12 hours of structured programming each week, with morning and evening sessions available. The program centers on group therapy and includes medication management, weekly individual therapy, and select holistic approaches to support whole-person recovery.

How long is an intensive outpatient program?

The length of stay in IOP varies by individual and is guided by each client’s progress, personal goals, and clinical needs. Our care team works collaboratively with clients to determine the most appropriate duration, adjusting as recovery unfolds.

Who is IOP right for?

IOP is designed for individuals stepping down from residential or PHP levels of care, those who need more structured support than traditional therapy provides, or those seeking a flexible option that allows them to balance treatment with work, school, family, or personal responsibilities.
