Intensive Outpatient Program

More Support, Without Stepping Away From Life

The Mercedes Health Intensive Outpatient Program is launching soon. It will offer structured, higher-intensity care for those who need more than weekly therapy while staying connected to home, school, and work.

Understanding IOP

Between Weekly Therapy and Hospitalization

An Intensive Outpatient Program provides several structured clinical sessions per week, more than standard outpatient care, without requiring someone to step away from daily life. It is designed for moments when weekly therapy is not enough but round-the-clock care is not necessary. For many people, IOP is the right level of support during a difficult season, or a step down from a higher level of care as they stabilize.

Who Is This For

When More Structure
Is the Right Step

IOP is designed for three situations in particular.

Stepping up from weekly therapy

For those whose needs have grown beyond what once-a-week sessions can address, without requiring a hospital level of care.

Stepping down from a higher level of care

For those stabilizing after inpatient or residential treatment, who still need real structure while returning to daily life.

Needing consistent structure for a defined period

For those whose symptoms call for more frequent support during a specific, time-limited season.

What to Expect

Structure With Real Support

Group and individual treatment

Structured group sessions combined with individual therapy, giving you peer support alongside care built around your own goals.

A structured weekly schedule

Several sessions each week, at consistent times, so you get the structure of a higher level of care.

Testimonials

What Our Partners Are Saying

"When I refer a family, I know someone will actually call them back. Mercedes Health confirms within a day or two, every time, and they tell me what happened next instead of leaving me to wonder."
Laura Serene
Care Manager, Bergen's Promise
"What I appreciate most is that I'm not choosing between IIC and outpatient for a student. If their needs change, they stay with the same team instead of starting over somewhere new."
Jonathan Savior
Counselor, Newark Public Schools
"I refer families who need Spanish-speaking clinicians more than anywhere else, and Mercedes Health has never made that an afterthought. It's built into how they work."

Coordinator, Bergen Pediatrics
