Intensive Outpatient Treatment
IOP Mental Health Program

IOP Mental Health Treatment
JRV Recovery’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a flexible but focused way to take your mental health seriously—without stepping away from daily commitments. Designed for adults navigating moderate psychiatric symptoms, IOP delivers consistent support through therapy, skill-building, and psychiatric care, all while letting you stay rooted in your day-to-day responsibilities.
It’s a structured, part-time program that helps you make actual progress—while still going to work, attending school, or caring for your family.
This is not one-size-fits-all care. Our IOP runs three days per week, with three hours of treatment each day. Depending on your needs and schedule, we’ll build a treatment plan that works in real time. Each week includes:
- Individual therapy to explore specific challenges and goals
- Group sessions that create space for perspective, support, and accountability
- Ongoing case management to connect your treatment with real-life logistics
- Oversight from psychiatric providers to monitor progress and adjust medications if needed
This combination of personal attention and structured programming provides steady support without disrupting your whole life.
Conditions Treated in Outpatient Mental Health Treatment
Our outpatient mental health treatment supports adults managing a range of psychiatric concerns, including:
- Depression and related mood disorders
- Generalized anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder
- Bipolar disorder
- PTSD and trauma-related symptoms
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)
- Emotional dysregulation or difficulty with interpersonal relationships
- Stress-based conditions and adjustment disorders
Whether you’re dealing with a long-term diagnosis or recent life changes that have impacted your mental health, our team will work with you to build practical, lasting stability.
Who Mental Health IOP Is For
Mental health IOP is a strong match for adults who:
- Are experiencing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or emotional instability, but are stable enough to manage independently outside of sessions
- Want more clinical involvement than weekly therapy can provide—but don’t need daily oversight
- Need a level of care that fits around existing work, school, or home routines
- Are stepping down from a higher level of care, such as PHP or residential treatment
- Are seeking a sustainable mental health plan that emphasizes autonomy, connection, and consistency
If you’re looking to improve your mental health without disconnecting from your daily life, IOP may be the right fit.
What You’ll Learn in Our Orange County IOP
Treatment in IOP is active, practical, and tailored. You’ll engage in evidence-based IOP therapy that helps you understand patterns, regulate emotions, and handle stress in healthier ways. These include:
- CBT for identifying and changing negative thinking
- DBT to improve emotional regulation and distress tolerance
- Motivational Interviewing to clarify personal goals and build commitment to change
- Trauma-informed care to create safety around difficult emotional work
- Psychoeducation to increase awareness and self-management
- Mindfulness practices that help reduce reactivity and improve presence
Sessions are designed to teach strategies you can try immediately—at work, at home, in relationships—and bring back to therapists for feedback and refinement. Additionally, beyond the core programming, JRV Recovery’s IOP includes:
- Psychiatric evaluations and medication management
- Care coordination and treatment planning
- Support for family involvement, when helpful
- Discharge planning and step-down options tailored to what comes next
Everything is designed to keep you moving forward—with a team that adjusts alongside your needs.
