Bridging the Mental Health Care Gap in Birmingham
You know you need to get your mental health to a stable state, and you want to, but you can never seem to find the “right time” for treatment. You can’t just drop everything to stay at UAB or Grandview for inpatient psychiatric care for a week (or more). But still, you feel that one weekly therapy session just isn’t giving you enough support.
We know just how stressful it can be to need a higher level of mental health support, but never finding treatment avenues that don’t involve uprooting your life. IOP Services helps you bridge that gap.
Structured Support That Fits Your Life
More Support Than Weekly Therapy
Our program provides 9 hours of structured therapy each week, offering constant support and skill-building that once-a-week therapy just isn’t equipped for.
Stay Connected to Your Provider
We coordinate your treatment with your current therapist or psychiatrist to help stabilize symptoms while continuing your broader treatment plan. The program lasts around 12 weeks for most people.
Flexible In-Person and Virtual Options
