The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at Windmoor is dedicated to helping individuals develop healthier coping skills and build a recovery support network. Participants can continue to work, attend school and tend to the duties of daily life. This three day a week program allows patients the opportunity to practice their new skills while still benefiting from the support and accountability of treatment. This program allows participants to receive treatment on a part-time, yet intensive schedule. We believe that recovery and life are one and the same, so it’s important that daily life is an integral therapeutic component of treatment.

Our Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program provides treatment for people suffering from moderate to severe levels of depression and anxiety that are interfering with their daily functioning, such as work performance, relationships, health, etc.

Our multidisciplinary staff uses several individualized treatment modalities to assist individuals in their mental health recovery. Patients work through coping with depression and anxiety, developing action plans, and building coping skills so they can improve their self-awareness, self-expression and problem solving.

Core groups are organized around these treatment models, and also include:

• Anger management
• Relaxation techniques/mindfulness
• Communication
• Positivity training
• Family issues
• Building support systems
• Trauma
• Sleep disturbance
• Self-esteem

Our Co-Occurring Disorders Intensive Outpatient Program provides treatment for people diagnosed with both a mental illness and substance use disorder. We incorporate a number of elements including groups specifically designed for people with dual disorders, education regarding medications and other steps to recovery from both illnesses. We offer help in understanding the effects of substance use on their lives, and knowledge regarding substances of abuse and how they affect mental illness and medication.

Additional core components of this track are:

• Motivational interviewing

• Addictive behaviors
• Triggers

• Addiction timeline
