Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for grit offer a structured middle ground between inpatient care and standard weekly therapy.

IOP is appropriate when:

- Step-down from inpatient care to maintain stability
- Acute life stressors have temporarily worsened grit beyond weekly therapy's capacity
- Building foundational skills for grit management in an intensive format
