When you’re struggling with your mental health or working toward addiction recovery, finding the right level of care can be overwhelming. You want support—but you also want to keep up with work, family, and daily responsibilities. That’s exactly why many people turn to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).
At Exult Healthcare in McKinney, Texas, our intensive outpatient treatments are designed to help you heal while staying engaged in your real life. It’s care that fits into your schedule without compromising your progress.
What Is an IOP, and Who Is It For?
An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers structured, therapeutic care for individuals facing a range of mental health or substance use challenges. It’s a step up from weekly therapy, but a step down from full-time inpatient care or hospitalization.
IOPs are ideal for people who:
· Need more than traditional therapy can provide
· Want to avoid or step down from inpatient hospitalization
· Are working through depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction treatment
· Require structure, accountability, and ongoing support
Our treatment programs allow you to return home each day and continue your normal routine while attending therapy multiple days per week.
What Do Exult’s IOPs Offer?
At Exult, our IOP programs offer a range of evidence-based behavioral therapies and personalized support. We understand that healing looks different for everyone, which is why your treatment plan is tailored to your needs and goals.
Here’s what you can expect:
Individual and Group Therapy: You’ll meet regularly with licensed therapists and participate in group therapy sessions with others on a similar path. Group settings provide powerful peer support, encouragement, and the sense that you’re not alone.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): Our therapists use CBT to help you identify unhelpful thinking patterns, manage stress, and build better habits. It’s one of the most effective tools in modern mental health care.
Relapse Prevention and Addiction Recovery Support: If you’re in addiction recovery, we focus on relapse prevention, trigger management, and long-term sobriety strategies. We also offer Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) when appropriate to support cravings and withdrawal symptoms.
Family Therapy: Healing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Our IOPs often include family therapy sessions to strengthen communication, build understanding, and repair relationships.
Whole-Person Wellness: Our team also looks at your sleep, nutrition, movement, and emotional balance. We want to help you thrive in all areas of your life—not just manage symptoms.
Innovative Options Like TMS: We also offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), a non-invasive treatment option for depression that can be integrated into your treatment plan if other methods haven’t worked.
Why Choose IOP Over Inpatient Care?
Inpatient treatment requires you to leave your home and often your job or school for several weeks. While that’s necessary in certain situations, it’s not always realistic—or needed.
IOPs let you heal without putting your life on hold. You still get the structure, support, and clinical care you need, but you can return home to sleep in your own bed, be with your loved ones, and practice your skills in real-time environments.
That flexibility is what makes IOPs so effective for long-term change.
A Sample Week in IOP at Exult Healthcare
Here’s a look at what a typical week might include:
· 3–5 days of therapy sessions, usually 3 hours per day
· Morning or afternoon scheduling to accommodate work or school
· A combination of group therapy, individual counseling, and family sessions
· Opportunities to include TMS or MAT in your care
· Goal-setting and progress tracking with your clinical team
Each week builds on the last, helping you gain momentum, confidence, and clarity.
Care That Adapts to Your Needs
We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all care. Our programs are flexible and adjust based on your progress, symptoms, and lifestyle. Whether you’re in early addiction treatment, managing anxiety, or stabilizing your behavioral health, our clinicians work closely with you to evolve your treatment plan as you grow.
Our IOPs are also a great option for people transitioning out of inpatient care or returning after a relapse or crisis. We’re here to meet you where you are—and help you move forward, one step at a time.
