IOP is appropriate when:
- Standard weekly therapy isn't sufficient for current motivated reasoning severity
- Step-down from inpatient care to maintain stability
- Acute life stressors have temporarily worsened motivated reasoning beyond weekly therapy's capacity
- Building foundational skills for motivated reasoning management in an intensive format
