At Drew Edmund Psychiatric Centers, an IOP program is fluid. The emphasis is not on administering standardized modalities of treatment or prescribing from a set of psychological assumptions. Instead, it’s one that employs whatever modality is most useful to the individual and the group at any given moment. If residential treatment and continuing care were thought of as stepping stones across a deep pond, then the intensive outpatient program (IOP treatment center) would represent the final step towards solid ground.
