Outpatient Programming for Adults in Chicago

Our outpatient services also include a premier intensive outpatient program for adults age 18 and older. This program is similar to the PHP, but patients receive treatment for fewer hours each week. While both programs have the same average program duration of four to six weeks, individuals in the IOP take part in programming for only three hours each day, three to four days a week.  

In the IOP, we provide focused care for a range of mental health concerns and substance use disorders. This program is a less restrictive level of care than the PHP, but it provides more structure than traditional outpatient programs. Patients follow a structured schedule of therapies and services that may include individual, family, group, and experiential therapies, as well as medication-assisted treatment and medication management services.  

At our outpatient psychiatric hospital, we understand that each person’s unique life experiences can affect how they respond to certain therapies. That is why we take an individualized approach to care and only include the modalities our patients can benefit from. Patients in the IOP can feel at ease knowing that our staff will take the time to better understand their needs so that we can tailor their care accordingly. 

Our adult intensive outpatient program is led by an interdisciplinary team of professionals who treat each patient with the utmost respect and compassion. Patients may interact with many highly trained experts, including medical staff, psychiatrists, registered nurses, licensed clinical social workers, licensed professional counselors, certified alcohol and drug counselors, mental health workers, and clinical psychologists. Together, our team provides comprehensive care that addresses the whole person.  

At Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital, we are committed to delivering an exceptional care experience for every person we serve. When you choose our outpatient psychiatric hospital, you can receive care that includes the most up-to-date therapies and services in a warm and welcoming environment.  

Key features of our outpatient programs include: 

• Comprehensive, individualized care: Our outpatient programs offer a range of services that are carefully selected for each person based on their needs and goals.  
• Structured scheduling: Patients take part in programming regularly. Having a regimented schedule can benefit individuals as they work toward better health. 
• Detailed assessments: Our team evaluates each person’s needs to develop a personalized care plan that can help them achieve their short- and long-term goals. 
• Evidence-based care: We incorporate an array of research-backed interventions, including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, trauma-informed care, and acceptance and commitment therapy. 
• Flexibility: Unlike live-in care options, outpatient programs give patients the freedom to fulfill their day-to-day obligations while also receiving essential behavioral healthcare services. 
• Continuing care plans: Our team works closely with each patient to develop an aftercare plan for them that includes resources and services that can offer ongoing support. 

At Montrose Behavioral Health Hospital, we recognize the importance of aftercare plans, and we take great care to ensure that each patient has access to the resources they need to remain happy and healthy well beyond their time in our adult outpatient program.  

Our team begins discharge planning at the start of care and continually monitors each patient’s progress so that we can adjust their aftercare plan accordingly. We understand that each patient’s wellness journey continues long after they leave our outpatient psychiatric hospital. By providing individuals with recommendations for follow-up care and services, we can help them make strides toward lasting healing. 

Aftercare plans are customized and may include:  

• Referrals to a psychiatrist for medication management  
• Recommendations for a lower level of care 
• Follow-up individual psychotherapy 
• Community resources  
• Support groups
