Our mental health intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides structured, evidence-based treatment for depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder and other conditions three days a week while you live at home. Call us today to take the first step.
A mental health intensive outpatient program, or IOP, is a step below partial hospitalization on the continuum of care. You attend three-hour group sessions at The Ranch Pennsylvania Outpatient Center three days a week and spend the rest of your time at home, at work or at school. IOP offers more support than weekly therapy alone without requiring you to put your life on hold.
