More About Our IOP
Our IOP aims to build upon the progress made earlier in treatment and flush out concepts and ideas with the benefit of patients’ real-world experience. The goal is to enable patients to see their recovery and growth in practical terms and to apply new perspectives and approaches to old problems and try different approaches. For many patients, this will be the first time they have received immersive mental health treatment of this caliber while simultaneously putting principles to the test.
For at least 10 hours per week, patients continue therapy at SBMHC. The remainder of their time is spent re-engaging with life – advancing personal relationships, career or educational goals, and incorporating additional wellness practices. Those enrolled in the Career Launch Program often continue that simultaneously and often find themselves gaining meaningful employment during this phase of treatment.
Our goal ensures the mental health diagnosis and treatment plan are “on track” – whether that’s after PHP or not. Truly exemplary mental health treatment accomplishes more than this, however. Sylvia Brafman’s IOP also empowers the patient with the requisite knowledge to manage their condition effectively and the insight to continue their growth and progress after treatment. Mental health IOPs like ours, which use evidence-based care modalities, are proven effective in clinical literature.
Our treatment approach is as unique as our patients and their needs. No two patients arrive with the same set of challenges. Therefore, no two patients will have the same experience here. Whether you come to us with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or a SUD with a co-occurring disorder, we are ready to empower you to change your life. People enter our IOP with different goals in mind; therefore, it’s our job to help them become healthy and centered with an individualized toolkit designed to equip them with what they need to achieve those goals.
Solidifying the Foundation
Effective, evidence-based mental health treatment is grounded in an accurate diagnosis and treatment. We ensure that has either occurred in earlier levels of care, or that it becomes solidified early on in IOP. The goal is to ensure patients better understand themselves and their disorders, continue to grow in effectiveness, feel better overall, and take steps toward applying what they’ve learned daily.
