Intensive Outpatient Behavioral Health Programs

Mercy Hospital Washington offers Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for both adults and adolescents struggling with their mental health, coping responses to life stressors, and/or co-occurring substance use issues. These programs are intended to help those we serve better understand their illness, develop adaptive coping skills, and function at their best in their everyday lives. These programs are designed as an intensive level of care and require a commitment from patients of three days per week. IOP can serve as an alternative to inpatient psychiatric hospitalization or can be a step-down from an inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Services are covered by most commercial insurance providers with an average length of stay of four to five weeks.
