Intensive Outpatient Programming (IOP) in Florida

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) and the intensive outpatient program (IOP) are offered through Branches, a service of Coral Shores Behavioral Health. Highly structured daytime programs are for people diagnosed with mental health concerns or co-occurring substance use disorders who need more support.

Programs & Services at Coral Shores Behavioral Health

Designed to help patients work on strengths and weaknesses and meet treatment goals, adult IOP is offered from 9 am to 12 pm three days a week, in-person or on a hybrid telehealth schedule. IOP may be more appropriate for people who don’t need the full day of PHP therapeutic programming. Patients meet with staff psychiatrists regularly for medication monitoring in IOP.
