The outpatient programs at Valley Health provide stabilization and support for individuals 18 and older who are struggling to manage the symptoms of a mental illness using an integrated psychiatric and medical approach to mental health and wellness.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a step down for those who no longer require the intensity of inpatient hospitalization or for individuals who require a higher level of care than traditional outpatient services provide. At Valley Health, our IOP is a step up from traditional outpatient services. It is a three-hour program available Monday through Friday that offers additional support and structure for at-risk individuals. Patients may be experiencing a variety of mental health issues including but not limited to:
Participants are able to maintain regular commitments to work, family, and school within this IOP structure. They will also be able to apply the skills and coping strategies they are learning in therapy to their everyday lives.
Following an initial evaluation, our specialized treatment team begins building a personalized plan of care for each IOP patient within our morning Senior Program or afternoon Adult Program. Our physicians, licensed therapists and support team carefully consider the mental health needs of each patient, as well as developmental functioning, family involvement, and behavioral needs. Specifically, we use the following outpatient services and strategies to provide structure and support within a group setting to enable people having difficulty managing their symptoms avoid hospitalization:
As a patient’s symptoms and level of functioning improve, our staff will work to decrease his or her time in the IOP. Once stabilization has been achieved, we will facilitate the transition into a traditional outpatient program or to the care of outside providers.
Admissions to the outpatient behavioral health program are based on the following:
Appointments will be made for further evaluation by the physician after the assessment.
Our clinical staff offers confidential assessments to determine if behavioral health services are needed. Referrals to our program may be made by the family physician, nurses, mental health professionals, assisted living facilities and others concerned about the welfare of their family member, friend or loved one. Patients can also self-refer into the program.
