Outpatient Program (OP)

Flexible care that sustains recovery

Our Outpatient Program (OP) is the next level of care for people graduating from Pax Healing’s Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP).

OP provides continued support as you move forward after IOP. Your treatment team will help plan the transition and discuss your ongoing care needs.

Standalone individual therapy appointments are no longer offered. Individual therapy remains included in our PHP and IOP programs.

How Our OP Delivers Results

Early intervention

Short, focused sessions surface warning signs quickly. Plans are adjusted before risk escalates.

Skill reinforcement

Relapse prevention, emotion regulation, and communication tools are practiced between sessions and reviewed for fit in real life.

Function first

Targets include sleep, routines, work or school attendance, and relationship health so progress is visible outside the clinic.

Shared accountability

Expectations are transparent and feedback is specific, which builds confidence and consistency.

Outcome targets we monitor

Relapse prevention: fewer high risk situations, increased use of coping during triggers
Symptom stability: maintained or improved anxiety and depression scores, steadier sleep and routines
Life participation: reliable work or school attendance, follow through on responsibilities
Family communication: healthier boundaries, reduced conflict
Readiness for safe discharge: sustained gains with community supports in place

Transitions that protect momentum

When stability is solid, we finalize a step down plan with clear community supports. If risk increases, intensity is raised promptly to IOP or Full Day Program so gains are preserved.
