Four steps, one decision at a time. Select a step to read more.
Depression isn't only sadness. It can affect how you feel, think and handle daily activities (NIMH), so ordinary things become hard to begin.
Mornings feel heavy. Getting up and out the door can use most of the day's effort.
Things you used to enjoy feel flat, so it's harder to want to start them.
Sleep, meals and plans drift, and days start to blur together.
IOP puts three fixed mornings into your week: a set time, a place to go, and people expecting you. When motivation is low, that structure can make the next step more concrete.
Each scheduled morning runs from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM, including 30 minutes of breaks.
Therapy can include noticing what you do and how you feel, and making small changes to patterns that keep you stuck. Here's what one small step could look like.

What made it easier or harder? What's the next small step?
Based on general descriptions of therapy from the National Institute of Mental Health. Your care plan is set with your clinician.
In a six-week intensive outpatient depression program in Germany, about 4 in 10 people finished with a depression score less than half of where they started.
Researchers call this a "response." It describes a large drop in symptoms for people in that program. It isn't the same as remission or recovery, and it can't tell you what will happen for you.
41.8% of 400 adults met the study's response threshold
Shown as 42 out of 100 (rounded)
How the threshold works
An end score that falls below half of the starting score counts as a response.

Questions about getting started.
If you'd like to, yes. Low energy is one of the things depression can affect, and it's worth saying on the call. Our therapist can explain what attendance involves, and your attendance plan is reviewed with you before you start.
That depends on your symptoms, your safety, the care you have now and the support around you. The clinical assessment looks at whether IOP, routine outpatient care or a more intensive level of care fits.
Yes. Tell our therapist about the care you have now. The assessment considers your current treatment, and you can ask how IOP would fit alongside it.
The free 15-minute call is an introduction and a chance to ask questions. A clinical assessment is the next step in considering whether IOP fits.
Compare your commitments with the group schedule: Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 9:00 AM–12:30 PM, plus travel time. Ask about attendance expectations before you plan a start date.
