Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program of Aultman Hospital
This episode of Health Matters features special guests Renee Meyer LPCC and Molly Frantz LPC with the Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program of Aultman Hospital.
What is IOP?
IOP is an intensive level of behavioral health counseling, which is held daily. This group-based program promotes independence, encourages individual empowerment within a person’s recovery, and provides opportunities to improve a person’s quality of life through increasing awareness, knowledge and a solution-focused perspective.
How do I know if I need more than a counselor?
It is important to seek a higher level of care such as the Aultman IOP when symptoms become overwhelming, interfere with daily functioning or relationships or when any of the following may occur:
Transitioning from inpatient to outpatient mental healthcare
Managing acute symptoms to prevent an inpatient hospital admission
Interrupting an increase in mental health symptoms
Needing added support to cultivate structure and consistent routine to improve daily functioning
