What is an IOP?
At Row Psychiatric Services, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides a higher level of support for individuals who need more than weekly therapy but do not require inpatient hospitalization. Designed for children, adolescents, and adults facing significant emotional, behavioral, or mental health challenges, our IOP offers structured, evidence-based treatment in a flexible, community-based setting.
Child IOP
Facilitated by Dennis Song, both groups provide a safe, supportive, nonjudgmental environment for social and emotional learning. Through unstructured and structured play, psychoeducation, and arts and crafts, children explore emotional expression, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationships, boundaries, identity, and topics relevant to their lives.
Dennis also works with caregivers, sharing tools and knowledge to help them understand and connect more deeply with their child. The program accepts ROW-accepted insurance plans.
Our storytelling approach “recognizes the limitations of talking about feelings to children in everyday language. Stories can speak to children on a deeper and far more immediate level then literal, everyday language” (Sunderland 4).
Children’s IOP meets Monday through Thursday, for two hours per session. The program runs for 8–12 weeks.
Monday through Thursday
Morning group: ages 5–9, 9:00–11:00 AM
Afternoon group: ages 10–13, 3:00–5:00 PM
Adult IOP
At Row, our adult IOP focuses on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for individuals struggling with emotional regulation, interpersonal challenges, and mental health disorders.
Facilitated by Michele Chubb and others, Adult IOP serves adults ages 18 and older. Treatment includes therapeutic discussion and daily homework to practice DBT skills.
This evidence-based program is designed to provide comprehensive therapeutic support three days a week, Monday through Wednesday from 2–5pm, promoting emotional stability, mindfulness, and coping strategies in a group setting. It is tailored to help participants integrate DBT skills into their daily lives to improve their overall quality of life.
ROW’s Adult IOP meets three days per week, Monday through Wednesday, from 2–5pm for three hours per session. The program runs for 8–12 weeks.
Adult IOP accepts ROW-accepted insurance plans except Original (straight) Medicare. Assessment determines program fit; see the Adult IOP page for eligibility details.
