Riverwoods Behavioral Health System delivers an intensive outpatient program (IOP) for adults 18 years and above who are contending with issues related to substance use and mental health disorders such as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, depression, and schizoaffective disorder. This IOP presents a fitting choice for individuals desiring a higher level of assistance compared to standard outpatient options or for those not needing the oversight provided in more restrictive care settings. The therapies available in our IOP encompass one-on-one sessions, family involvement, and group activities, which explore subjects including coping strategies, preventing setbacks, resolving disagreements, fostering healthy relationships, and improving communication skills. Participants attend meetings three to five days each week, allowing them to balance treatment with work or other personal responsibilities.
