Adolescent IOP Programs

The IOP programs at The Refuge utilize evidence-based methods and are patient-centered. We integrate the use of psychoeducation, break-out groups, and hands-on activities to create an interactive environment. Additionally, topics such as substance use, LGBTQ+, bullying, medication and self-harm are interwoven throughout our programming.​

​

During this Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), your teen can continue to attend school during the day, with IOP sessions in the afternoon/evening. IOP is great for teens who need continued support to ensure they stay on the right path. IOP at The Refuge integrates mental health and substance misuse.
