The Depression Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at the Delray Center is the next progression of depression treatment that can follow either inpatient care or PHP. The IOP level of care is the essential transition between the more intensive care levels and regular outpatient treatment. The objective is to gradually return patients to their full functional capacity while still offering substantial clinical support and structure to prevent even a partial depressive relapse. Patients that are less than 6 months recovered from their depression are still at a high relapse risk and derive great benefit from this support.
Depression is a disease that poses numerous special challenges due to how many emotional triggers can exist in everyday life. Many of these challenges to fighting depression differ from those seen in other disorders and require certain specialized interventions. The Depression IOP was developed to specifically meet these needs. Several of the Depression PHP therapeutic modalities are also seen in the IOP.
