Intensive Outpatient Therapy (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) in Fresno

Our Outpatient Psychiatry and Medication Management in Fresno, California offers accessible, evidence-based mental health care tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you’re seeking compassionate mental health professionals or expert psychiatric care across California, we’re here to support you.
Unlike a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), patients in an IOP program can continue their daily routines and responsibilities, such as work, school, or family commitments, while working toward their therapy goals. It’s also great for those leaving the hospital wanting to keep working on feeling better.
Our IOP is also ideal for individuals transitioning from inpatient care, offering continued support to help prevent hospitalization and maintain long-term recovery.
