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).
