A Pathway to Recovery and Resilience
Our Behavioral Intensive Outpatient Program (BHIOP) is a highly specialized, skills-based, and recovery-oriented program designed to provide comprehensive support for individuals living with Severe Mental Illnesses (SMI) such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, and bipolar disorder.
We understand that managing these conditions can be challenging, and we are here to offer the intensive support needed to foster lasting recovery and improved quality of life.
Program Structure and Commitment
The BHIOP is a 12-week program that offers an intermediate level of care, bridging the gap between traditional outpatient therapy and inpatient hospitalization. The program meets three days a week—Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday—from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. Each session is conducted in person, allowing participants to engage fully in the therapeutic process with the support of experienced mental health professionals and peers who share similar experiences.
Participants are asked to commit to the entire 12-week duration to fully benefit from the program. During this time, they will engage in a variety of therapeutic activities that focus on building essential skills such as emotion regulation, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral strategies. These skills are crucial for managing symptoms, reducing distress, and enhancing overall well-being.
Who Can Benefit from BHIOP?
Our BHIOP is ideal for individuals who require more support than what is typically provided in weekly therapy sessions but who do not need the level of care offered in an inpatient setting. This program is particularly beneficial for those who are experiencing significant challenges in managing their mental health and are seeking a structured, supportive environment to develop and practice new coping skills.
Integrated Care and Continued Support
At Sage Neuroscience Center, we believe in a holistic approach to mental health care. Everyone participating in the BHIOP is required to have an individual therapist to ensure continuity of care. For those who do not already have a therapist, we offer individual therapy services as part of our comprehensive treatment approach. This integration ensures that each participant receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs, both during and after the completion of the program.
