Supporting Stability Through Structured Care
Zephyr Health’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for adults 18 and older seeking meaningful support for their mental health while maintaining the ability to engage in daily life. Whether transitioning from a higher level of care or beginning structured treatment, IOP offers a flexible, evidence-based model that meets clients where they are emotionally, psychologically, and practically.
Structure & Frequency
IOP sessions take place a minimum of three days per week, with each session lasting at least three hours, totaling over nine hours of therapeutic support weekly. Most clients remain in the program for six to eight weeks, with length of care determined by clinical need and individual progress. All sessions are held during business hours, Monday through Friday, making the program accessible to those balancing work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
Program Components
Each treatment day follows a consistent structure designed to foster safety, skill-building, and emotional growth. Clients begin with daily check-ins and grounding exercises, followed by psychoeducation, therapeutic group work, and resilience-focused processing. While group therapy is central to the experience, we also incorporate individualized treatment planning, medication management, and clinical crisis response to ensure holistic support.
Evidence-Based Methods
Our program draws from a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and trauma-informed care. We prioritize treatment approaches backed by research and customize care through regular clinical assessments. This measurement-based model ensures that interventions are adjusted based on client feedback and progress keeping treatment aligned with evolving needs.
Outcomes
Clients completing the IOP at Zephyr Health report significant gains in emotional regulation, stress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and self-awareness. They leave with a personalized aftercare plan that often includes ongoing therapy, psychiatry, peer support, or connection to community-based resources, equipping them with the tools to maintain stability and thrive long after treatment concludes.
