Patient discussing outpatient treatment options at Windmoor

Outpatient Services

Outpatient services at Windmoor Healthcare offer a level of care for patients in need of an intensive, structured, daily therapeutic environment but do not require 24-hour care. Our specialty outpatient programs help adults stay on the path to recovery after an inpatient stay but do not require previous inpatient admission. Our programs promote the maximum cognitive, social, physical, behavioral and emotional development in individuals to address a psychiatric disorder, substance use or co-occurring disorders (dual diagnosis). Patients receive a combination of group, family and individual therapy, a psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and treatment planning.

Patients can choose one of two convenient locations for Outpatient Services in Clearwater and Tampa.

Our Outpatient Programs

Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) can help patients work through their behavioral health issues with group therapy sessions, psychoeducation and medication management. PHP and IOP provide a therapeutic, structured environment that helps individuals address a broad range of psychological and interpersonal challenges.

Group therapy facilitates personal growth and change through the exploration of life challenges and stressors with the benefits of receiving multiple perspectives, support and encouragement. Psychoeducation groups teach a variety of skills for the improvement of functioning and emotional regulation. Topics may include stress and anger management, communication skills, boundaries, relapse prevention, and medication and illness education. Both programs offer identical services but occur at different frequencies (five days/week for PHP, three days/week for IOP).

Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT) is a procedure we provide on an outpatient basis to help people who suffer from a severe psychiatric disorder that has not been improved by conventional treatment methods. ECT is designed to alleviate the symptoms of acute conditions by stimulating the brain with a small current of electricity The most common side effects of ECT include muscle aches, nausea, short-term memory loss and headaches. The procedure is conducted by trained clinical professionals and staff members. There are risks associated with any treatment procedure and individual results may vary. Please consult the dedicated professionals within the ECT program to assess if you are a candidate for ECT treatment. Our Medical Staff will also consult with you on the risks and benefits of ECT treatment if you are a suitable candidate.
