Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for cognition offer a structured middle ground between inpatient care and standard weekly therapy.
What Is IOP for Cognition?

Who Benefits from IOP for Cognition?
IOP is appropriate when:

- Step-down from inpatient care to maintain stability

- Building foundational skills for cognition management in an intensive format
