IOP treatment differs from typical outpatient care due to its use of a highly organized treatment team approach, involving both individual therapy and medication education and management.
Stepping Stones Program
The Stepping Stones Program is tailored to support all major psychiatric disorders, while also offering addiction/recovery groups for those suffering from co-occurring substance abuse disorders. Our intensive outpatient care offers a comprehensive approach to mental illness through an intensive treatment team approach aimed at addressing both the unique and broad mental health issues people face on a daily basis.
The program is offered at our Behavioral Health Center in Toms River, New Jersey.
