Hybrid IOP

About Our Hybrid IOP

Flexible Intensive Treatment

EBTCS offers Hybrid Intensive Outpatient Treatment Programs (IOP) for clients who require more intensive support and flexibility than traditional outpatient services. Our IOP programs, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) IOP, Anxiety IOP, and Child Anxiety IOP, cater to individuals of all ages, offering evidence-based care tailored to address a range of challenges such as emotion regulation difficulties, suicidal ideation, self-harm behaviors, severe OCD, school refusal, various anxiety disorders, as well as eating disorders including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorders (OSFED). Our programs are highly individualized and can include services across multiple programs. We strive to provide comprehensive care, collaborating with clients, families, and external stakeholders such as schools and healthcare providers to ensure holistic support.

Treatment Structure and Approach

IOP services involve more commitment than typical outpatient treatment. Clients can expect to be engaged in therapy multiple days per week, from 9 to up to 20 hours per week. The amount of time spent in treatment each week varies by program.

Our interventions are tailored to meet the specific needs of each client. We specialize in delivering high-quality, evidence-based interventions, psychoeducation, family interventions, and other environmental services (i.e., working with schools and other health or mental health providers) to maximize the effectiveness of treatment for every client.

Treatments vary by program, but all of our centers strive to adhere to interventions that have an extensive research foundation. For instance, our DBT IOP utilizes DBT, along with other evidence-based treatments needed to address specific problems, our Anxiety program often includes exposure therapy, and for children and teens, behavioral parent training and family therapy are common components. For clients who experience eating disorders along with other treatment needs, we incorporate a range of evidence-based approaches, including family-based treatment (FBT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), tailored to the individual.

It’s important to note that individuals with eating disorders, particularly those experiencing medical complications, are often required to seek regular medical monitoring outside our clinic while participating in IOP services.
