Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program
Mission
The Mental Health IOP is an outpatient mental health, time limited, individualized treatment program for active duty military (all branches of service welcome), eligible family members, and retirees 18 years and older. Candidates are those in need of more intensive mental health treatment than is normally available through the out-patient psychiatric clinic but do not need inpatient hospitalization. The goal of the program is to promote quality patient mental health in the least restrictive and most efficacious manner possible.

Consults/Referrals
The Consultation and Evaluation process assists in determining the suitability of MHIOP treatment. Information provided in the referral should provide a “clinical snapshot” of the medical and psychological needs of the patient. Unless the Patient is being referred from Inpatient/Residential, each Patient needs to have completed a trial of care with their MH Outpatient Provider before being considered for IOP services. Referrals start with a consult submitted to MHIOP from mental health providers through MHS GENESIS, found under “Psychiatry-BH INTENSIVE OUTPT PROG TR (BHIOP).” .
How to make an appointment

FAQ's:
Q: What does “trial of care,” mean?
A: Trial of care means the Patient has engaged with their MH Outpatient Provider and tried a MH Treatment Modality and failed. For MHIOP General Track, IOP Clinic requests Patients have worked with their MH Outpatient Provider for at least 4 sessions. For TRIOP, Patients need to have completed a Trauma-focused Modality before being referred to our trauma-intensive program.
