Psychiatric Intensive Outpatient Program

Intensive outpatient treatment for mental health issues

Our Psychiatric Intensive Outpatient Program has two options for sessions:

• Monday, Wednesday and Thursday from 9AM to 12PM
• Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM

The Psychiatric Intensive Outpatient Program at Methodist Richardson Medical Center is designed to intensively treat mental health issues, while the patient maintains regular activities such as work or family responsibilities. The program focuses on cognitive therapy, self esteem development, stress management, and responsibility for recovery.

Early intervention may prevent an inpatient admission and subsequent lost time from work.

Patients attend sessions three times a week

• Sessions are specific to patient skills training and group therapy
• Family group sessions are held on Fridays for family education and skills training

Upon completion, the patient is encouraged to continue with an outpatient psychiatrist and/or individual therapist and support groups.
