Intensive Outpatient Program
Three Rivers Behavioral Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is provided for adults, ages 18 and older. The goals of our IOP are to stabilize symptoms through bottom-up trauma informed interventions, build skills while engaging in a wise mind, develop a positive support system, and promote client autonomy. TRBH IOP is dedicated to being a trusted psychiatric treatment program that provides intensive outpatient treatment to clients with acute psychiatric diagnoses that do not require inpatient hospitalization or residential services but need comprehensive programming not offered in traditional outpatient treatment.
Therapeutic services in TRBH IOP focus on healing the body and nervous system to improve emotional and psychological well-being. Clients are encouraged to apply newly learned coping skills, emotional regulation techniques, psychoeducation, and mindfulness strategies in their daily environments.

TRBH IOP provides group therapy and individual/family/significant-other therapy using evidenced-based treatment modalities and holistic, trauma-informed interventions.
