AIOP is a structured group therapy program designed for adolescents, ages 13 through 17, who exhibit psychiatric symptoms and significant impairment in day-to-day educational, social and interpersonal functioning. The program is medically supervised and can be an appropriate alternative to inpatient treatment, or can provide a transition from inpatient care to outpatient care.
Family participation is strongly encouraged in this highly structured, intensive outpatient program. The adolescent’s family and referring therapist are encouraged to participate in the treatment and discharge planning process.
The program meets 3 days a week Monday, Tuesday and Thursday from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm.

“ The program is structured and well organized, kids have a chance to express themselves without ramifications. Kids are being taught good coping skills.
