Virtual IOP

Virtual IOP Mental Health For Teens

Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) are a popular form of mental health and addiction treatment. IOP generally involves regular group therapy, individual therapy, and other treatments that occur regularly throughout the week. Unlike in residential treatment, IOP clients get to go home at the end of the day and don’t need to live at their treatment center. Virtual IOP is even more flexible than the standard intensive outpatient program. Thrive Teen addresses a range of mental health, substance abuse, and behavioral concerns in teens and adolescents through virtual treatment. So, what should you know?

This page will cover everything you should know about virtual IOP mental health for teens. First, we’ll discuss telehealth IOP and the benefits of virtual intensive outpatient treatment. Then, we’ll talk about what virtual IOP can be used for and reasons to choose Thrive Teen.

What is TeleHealth IOP?

According to the World Health Organization, depression, anxiety, and other mental or behavioral disorders are a leading cause of disability and illness in adolescents. When they aren’t adequately addressed, symptoms can worsen, leading to a higher risk of serious physical and mental health concerns in adulthood. On the other hand, mental health treatment is associated with positive outcomes, including symptom management, remission from some concerns, and an increased quality of life.

Telehealth IOP refers specifically to online intensive outpatient programs. It can also be called virtual, online, or remote IOP. Telehealth intensive outpatient programs allow you to connect with a treatment team for IOP services, including individual therapy, groups, and other treatments (e.g., family therapy), virtually. Just like in traditional IOP, sessions are conducted on a regular schedule throughout the week. The frequency and duration of sessions may vary from teen to teen depending on the concern they’re in treatment for and their unique treatment needs.

The purpose of an intensive outpatient program is to provide treatment access to those who do not need inpatient treatment or who prefer and are eligible for non-inpatient treatment. Many teens do not feel comfortable temporarily leaving their families while they get treatment for mental health or addiction. Alternatively, they may have other reservations or fears surrounding treatment. Our client-centered approach helps teens stay involved in and benefit from their treatment at Thrive Teen.

Benefits of Virtual Intensive Outpatient Mental Health Treatment

IOP offers more support than classic outpatient treatment or once-weekly therapy. It is ideal for those who want to address their mental health needs thoroughly and comprehensively, with the optimal amount of support and access to their treatment team throughout the week. Here are some of the benefits of Thrive Teen’s virtual intensive outpatient mental health treatment program.

Accessibility: With telehealth, clients are able to attend treatment even if they do not have reliable transit to a treatment center. Intensive outpatient is more flexible than inpatient treatment and typically costs less, which also makes it more accessible to many teens and families. Teens can continue to engage in obligations like school, work, or family life while in telehealth IOP.
Affordability: We accept most private insurance plans and are in-network with Cigna, Magellan, MHN Health Net, First Health, and Anthem Blue Cross. Additional payment options are available.
Efficacy: Numerous studies on virtual therapy have shown that it is just as effective as in-person treatments. Thrive Teen uses various evidence-based therapy modalities in our virtual intensive outpatient mental health program for teens.
