IOP – Behavioral Health Orange County
At Story Wellness, we believe you are the author of your own life story – and we’ve specifically designed our Intensive Outpatient Program to provide you with the therapeutic support and guidance in a non-judgemental and nurturing environment. Unlike most facilities who use a one-size-fits-all approach to health, Story Wellness offers personalized mental health programs which are tailored to best support each individual.
Unique to Story Wellness, we incorporate Narrative Therapy in our Behavioral Health programs which allow our clients to release the negative connotations they’ve associated themselves with – so they can reimagine their life the way they choose to define it. Our programs empower individuals to become the hero in their own life story by supporting them to envision themselves in a new way and rewrite the narrative of their story.
What to Expect
Being part of an intensive outpatient program is a rewarding experience for people who are committed to their healing and mental wellness. Intensive Outpatient Programs often occur after completing a residential inpatient program when Clinicians believe that the individual is ready to continue on with a lower level of care.
Group and individual therapy is a vital part of the Intensive Outpatient Program experience. You will have 9-15 hours each week of group therapy, weekly individual therapy sessions as well as weekly Psychiatrist visits.
Clients in Intensive Outpatient Programs typically visit our facility three to five days per week for about three hours per visit.
Benefits of the IOP
One of the most notable benefits of an Intensive Outpatient Program is that it is a much more comprehensive solution than standard outpatient programs. More specifically, our Intensive Outpatient Program provides the client with more counseling, which allows for a higher level of care and greater opportunity to successfully treat clients in an environment where they can feel safe from the triggers of the everyday routines of their home life.
The staff at Story Wellness is highly experienced and dedicated to helping residents achieve lasting mental wellness. Through mindful collaboration with our Clinicians in a non-shaming, non-blaming environment, individuals become the author of their new life story in a way that empowers them to live their best life.
The Story Wellness Approach to Behavioral Health Treatment
At Story Wellness, our programs are based on principles of Narrative Therapy which establish that the individual is never ‘not enough’ in any way and should always be treated with upmost respect, that the individual should never be blamed for the challenges they’re facing, and that the Therapist is not above the individual in any way – understanding that the individual is the expert of their own life story.
Story Wellness follows a new approach to mental health and happiness which empowers individuals to become the author of their life story, and redefine it in a powerful new way that best supports them.
