Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) Treatment in Bucks County

Flexible, Individualized Mental Health Treatment for Teens and Adults in Montgomery County

Hope Springs Behavioral Health offers an intensive outpatient program for individuals ages 13 and older. Our adolescent track serves clients ages 13–17 with programming tailored to that age group, and our adult track is designed for clients 18 and older. Clients are assigned an individual therapist who follows them through the entire program, from intake to discharge.

The program combines individual and group therapy, with clients choosing from groups covering skills-based topics, trauma, relationships, communication, activities, and topical discussions. Psychiatric services are included, providing clients with a thorough evaluation and ongoing medication management. This is not an add-on but part of how the program is structured. 

Our care team includes board-certified psychiatrists, licensed therapists, and trained clinicians. Hope Springs Behavioral Health is licensed by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services and the Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) and accredited by The Joint Commission, providing independent verification of our clinical standards.

What Sets Our IOP Apart

One of the most significant gaps in outpatient mental health care is what happens after the program ends. At Hope Springs Behavioral Health, clients may retain access to a psychiatrist for up to one year following a successful IOP discharge. That window gives clients realistic time to establish care with an ongoing provider rather than facing an abrupt handoff. It’s a deliberate part of how we’ve structured aftercare and reflects the reality that finding the right long-term provider takes time.

We also recognize that clients don’t stop being parents, students, employees, and caretakers when they enter treatment. The program is built around that reality. Scheduling includes morning, afternoon, and evening options. Telehealth appointments are sometimes available for clients facing transportation barriers, illness, or other extenuating circumstances. The program is primarily in person, with telehealth reserved for situations where in-person attendance isn’t feasible.

Personalized treatment plans are a foundation of the program, not a marketing phrase. Each plan is built around the client’s individual history, goals, and clinical needs, and clinicians reassess and adjust strategies as progress is made. Family therapy is included as a standard component of the IOP, and marriage counseling is also offered. Hope Springs Behavioral Health serves individuals from all backgrounds in an environment designed to promote dignity and encourage open expression without fear of judgment.

Insurance and Financial Access

Hope Springs Behavioral Health accepts most commercial insurance plans, and our intensive outpatient program is a covered benefit under most plans, though coverage amounts and session lengths can vary depending on the specific plan. Our team works with individuals and families to navigate benefits and understand what their plan covers. We also accept Bucks County Medicaid/HealthChoices, expanding access to structured mental health treatment for more residents in the area. For those who aren’t covered by insurance, sliding-scale fee options are available for those who qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's Involved in Intensive Outpatient Therapy?

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured, non-residential mental health treatment program that addresses mental health disorders and substance use disorders through a combination of group therapy, individual therapy, family counseling, educational groups, and strategies for encouraging motivation and engagement in treatment. It offers more clinical support than weekly outpatient therapy without requiring an overnight stay.

How Long Is the IOP Program?

The program consists of approximately 30 sessions, including group and individual appointments. Clients attend three times per week. Duration can vary depending on the client’s unique situation and progress, and the primary counselor can discuss the expected treatment timeline.

What Can a Client Expect at Their Intake Appointment?

Clients can expect to be in the office for approximately one and a half hours, including paperwork. They’ll meet with one of our clinicians for a risk assessment and a biopsychosocial evaluation, which covers history, family, job or school, legal, social, medical, and current issues. 

After intake, the client’s first program appointment may be either a group or individual session. Group sessions are 2.5 hours; individual sessions are one to two hours, depending on the client’s insurance plan. Clients are assigned an individual therapist who remains the same throughout the program.

Our board-certified psychiatrists, licensed therapists, and trained clinicians are ready to build a treatment plan around your individual needs. Call (215) 491-9900 to schedule an intake appointment or ask any questions about getting started.
