Intensive Outpatient Program

Rutherford Regional Health System provides high-quality, outpatient mental health treatment designed to help adults ages 18+ achieve balance and recovery.

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) features evidence-based care appropriate for those who have recently completed a higher level of care or who need more therapeutic benefit than traditional individual therapy or medication management alone. IOP may be recommended by a physician after evaluation of the patient’s comprehensive mental health assessment of presenting problems, treatment goals and recovery needs.
