Intensive Outpatient Program
An Outpatient Program Built for Real, Lasting Progress
The Newly’s Intensive Outpatient Program (also known as our Mental Health Core IOP) is one of our most comprehensive mental health IOPs — five days a week of trauma-focused therapy, skills training, and coordinated medical support. It’s designed for people who want deeper, faster progress than weekly therapy alone can offer.
Who the Intensive Outpatient Program is for
When weekly therapy isn’t creating enough change.
This intensive outpatient program tends to be the right fit for people who’ve tried weekly therapy and want something more immersive, or who are dealing with several things at once and want a coordinated team working on it together.
This mental health IOP may be a good fit if:
- Weekly therapy hasn't created enough change, or progress feels slow
- You're carrying trauma, depression, anxiety, or addiction — often more than one at a time
- You're able to commit to a structured, five-day-a-week schedule for about a month
- You want a team of therapists and medical clinicians working from the same plan
Not sure, don't worry
You don't need to know if this is the right level of care before reaching out. That's exactly what your first conversation and assessment are for.
What the Intensive Outpatient Program is
Structured programming five days a week.
This mental health IOP starts with a detailed assessment so your care team understands what you’re experiencing and what you’re hoping to change. From there, you’ll take part in structured programming five days a week — combining individual trauma therapy, skills-based group work, and, when appropriate, medically assisted treatment.
It’s built to help with depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and more — often addressing several of these at once, since they rarely show up in isolation.
