Senior Adult Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Our senior adult intensive outpatient program (IOP) is designed to meet the needs of older adults who are struggling with mental health challenges.
IOP Mental Health Treatment for Senior Adults
At Heritage Oaks, our IOP for senior adults provides mental health treatment for those who are either stepping down from the inpatient or PHP levels of care or those exploring their treatment options for the first time who may not need a higher level of care.
Feeling depressed or anxious are not just normal parts of aging, and mental health treatment from Heritage Oaks can make a difference.
How Can an Intensive Outpatient Program Help Senior Adults?
There are many mental health conditions that senior adults should be on the lookout for as they age, but none that happen because of age.
However, one of the more common mental health issues that older adults struggle with is depression. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), nearly four percent of older adults have depression – getting help now can not only make senior adults happier now but help with quality of life down the road, too.
Who Can Benefit from a Senior Adult IOP?
An IOP for seniors can help address mental health issues in older adults such as:
- Changes in mood such as irritability
- Memory issues
- Constant or frequent worrying
