Adult Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (MH-IOP)

The MH-IOP is focused on the development of interpersonal skills, coping skills, relaxation skills, management of symptoms and mood stabilization. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other skills-based treatment methods combine with a goal directed treatment plan and homework to increase an individual’s functioning at work, with friends and family, and alone. Through lectures, discussion and exercises, a wide variety of skills are presented and practiced, with the goal of increasing mental health functioning and the ability to enjoy life.

Topics covered in this group-based program include:

• Management of Anxiety and Depression

• Distress Tolerance

• Relationship Skills

• Emotion Regulation

• Mindfulness

• Cognitive Behavioral Techniques

• Relaxation Techniques and Skills

While all treatment is in a group setting, individual treatment plans are developed with the Group Facilitator. Group Facilitators are professionals who are experienced in treating mental health issues.

Goals of Treatment include:

• Increase in level of functioning

• Interpersonal skills development

• Healthy coping skills development

• Management of symptoms

• Stabilization of mood

There are two track options for MH-IOP, both located at Centennial Peaks Hospital. The daytime track is Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 1-4 pm for 12 sessions. The evening track is Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings from 6:00pm to 9:00 pm for 12 sessions. Wednesday is the family session.
