How intensive outpatient treatment can help
What is Intensive Outpatient?
IOP is a structured mental health treatment option that offers more support than traditional outpatient therapy while allowing clients to live at home. It includes a combination of individual therapy, group sessions, and skills-based workshops to help clients regain stability, improve coping strategies, and strengthen emotional resilience.
At Sanctuary Mental Health, we design each treatment plan based on individual needs, ensuring a personalized and effective approach to recovery.

Your Treatment Options
What to Expect from an Intensive Outpatient Program?
Our mental health IOP can benefit multiple mental health disorders, including:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- ADD/ADHD
- PTSD/Trauma
- Bipolar Disorder
- Personality Disorders
- Thought Disorders
You should consider turning to an IOP if you have already completed a more intense level of care and need something part-time as you transition back to normalcy. Our Knoxville & Fort Lauderdale intensive outpatient program is also good for people who want mental health treatment but have personal or professional responsibilities and can only complete something part-time.
If you want ongoing support beyond just a few hours per week, Sanctuary Mental Health and Wellness can help.

Types of Therapies Offered
We offer a diverse array of therapeutic interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and more. Each therapy modality is chosen based on its efficacy and the individual needs of our clients.
Individual therapy allows you to work with the same medical professionals throughout your program, build trust, and facilitate open discussions about things that may have contributed to or exacerbated your mental health disorder.
Our therapists help clients develop clear mental health goals and track progress. We provide coping strategies and life skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and build long-term resilience.
Group therapy is integral to your recovery. Group therapy can help you recognize the consequences of your mental health disorder, physically, emotionally, and socially. Group therapy sessions give you an opportunity to:
- Meet with other people and avoid feelings of isolation or loneliness
- Gain mutual support
- Discuss your struggles in a judgment-free space
- Build a supportive network with whom you can associate after treatment
Medication plays an important role in recovery when combined with individual and group therapy. Our psychiatric team provides evaluations and medication adjustments as part of treatment.
If you are struggling with co-occurring mental health disorders like depression or anxiety, medication might be prescribed to treat acute or chronic symptoms while you complete complementary therapy sessions to give you the skills you need to manage symptoms long-term.
