To be eligible for this program, you need a referral from a hospital or outpatient therapist, who will provide reasons for needing IOP. These will be used to determine a best fit for the program. If a person is violent or aggressive in any way, he/she/they will not be allowed to attend face-to-face, but may be involved in the program via remote telehealth services, depending on level of aggression. All those with severe and persistent mental illness are eligible for this program.
