iOP

Our Mission Connection mental health treatment program in Arlington, Virginia, is an intensive outpatient program (IOP) with both in-person and virtual options. We work with you and your schedule to provide flexibility and accessibility to adults struggling with mental health conditions like bipolar disorder, depression, anxiety, and more.

Intensive outpatient programs, or IOPs, provide clients with clinical support, therapeutic care, and numerous resources during the day or in the evenings. Clients return home at night and on the weekends, when there is no programming taking place. As opposed to inpatient residential treatment, where individuals spend time on-site 24/7 for a month or two at a time, the IOP level of care is more flexible and accommodating to those with daily responsibilities that they cannot take time away from.

Therapies

Mental health services are not one-size-fits-all. That’s why our clinical team is highly trained to provide a wide range of therapeutic services to meet your specific needs. Therapeutic sessions and activities tend to teach men and women how they can manage their mental health conditions while addressing the root of their struggles.

Types of evidence-based therapy for different needs typically include:

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors.
  • Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) aims to help individuals understand and manage negative emotions better.
  • Solution-focused therapies encourage and empower clients to take responsible action when faced with conflicts.
  • Trauma-focused therapies like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) help with processing and healing from past traumas (for example, childhood abuse or distressing events).

About Arlington, Virginia

A historic city just outside of Washington, D.C., Arlington sits on the Potomac River, drawing many visitors, particularly to the Arlington National Cemetery. The Arlington National Cemetery houses the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, a well-known memorial that has been guarded, without interruption, for 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, since 1937.

Beyond its lengthy military history, the city of Arlington is known for its proximity to D.C., its impressive public transportation, and quiet residential neighborhoods. For clients at our Arlington, VA, outpatient treatment facility, the program is accessible both by public transportation and via the I-395. This facility is also not far from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA).

Things to Do in Arlington, VA

There are a variety of sights and attractions in Arlington that clients at Mission Connection can experience outside of programming that will complement their mental health treatment plans. Here are a few examples.

Museum of Contemporary Art, Arlington

Because clients at our outpatient program in Arlington often engage in expressive art therapy groups, a visit to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Arlington on your own time might fit well with your mental health programming and overall treatment plan, fostering additional reflection and contemplation.

Arlington National Cemetery

Arlington has a wide range of memorials and tributes to U.S. national history, where you can learn more and honor those who lost their lives serving the United States military. Such locations include the Air Force Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery, the Marine Corps War Memorial (Iwo Jima), the Military Women’s Memorial, and the National 9/11 Pentagon Memorial. 

Bon Air Rose Gardens

At Bon Air Park, you can enjoy a walk through the grounds of the rose gardens, observing over 120 different types of roses.

Transportation Near Quincy St, Arlington, VA

For those commuting to our IOP facility in Arlington, VA, there are a number of routes and modes of transportation you can take to get there.

Shirlington Transit Center

Our Arlington facility sits right across from the Shirlington Transit Center at 2975 S. Quincy Street. This happens to be Arlington’s only enclosed bus station and the main transfer point for South Arlington.

Metrobus routes A12, A27, A29, A66, and A71 all stop here, and the indoor waiting area makes the connection comfortable in any weather. This spot can be a meaningful convenience when you’re commuting five days a week for IOP.

Arlington Transit and DASH

Arlington Transit (ART) is the county’s local bus service, with most routes connecting Arlington neighborhoods to nearby Metrorail stations and to the Shirlington station. DASH serves clients coming from Alexandria. Between the two, they can connect you to our facility on Quincy Street without a car.

Driving via I-395

If you choose to drive in for IOP in Arlington, our facility is just off I-395 via Exit 7. The Village at Shirlington’s parking garages are nearby, making it an easy walk to programming. It’s a straight shot from Falls Church, Alexandria, or across the river from D.C.
