Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Elizabeth, NJ

When life feels overwhelming—whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or other emotional challenges—you don’t have to face it alone. At Positive Reset Elizabeth, our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers structured, compassionate support for those who need more than standard therapy while continuing work, school, or family commitments. Healing doesn’t mean putting your life on hold—it means getting the right care at the right time.

What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

An IOP provides focused, evidence-based care in a flexible format—typically several days per week for a few hours per session. This program is ideal for individuals experiencing moderate to severe mental health or behavioral concerns who:

  • Do not require 24-hour supervision
  • Can benefit from consistent, structured treatment
  • Have a safe and supportive home environment

At Positive Reset Elizabeth, we provide the guidance, tools, and support needed to heal—while keeping your daily life in motion.

What to Expect in Our Elizabeth IOP

Before starting, each client completes a detailed psychosocial assessment. This helps our team understand your personal history, current symptoms, and daily responsibilities, allowing us to design a treatment plan tailored to you.

Your IOP program may include:

  • Individual therapy
  • Group therapy
  • Family counseling
  • Medication management (when appropriate, overseen by a licensed psychiatrist)

Sessions are typically offered 3–5 days per week, with flexible scheduling to fit around work, school, or family obligations.

IOP Services at Positive Reset Elizabeth

Group Therapy: Group therapy is central to the IOP experience. Led by licensed professionals, these sessions focus on:

  • Coping skills
  • Emotional regulation
  • Communication
  • Relapse prevention

Sharing with others in similar situations promotes healing, connection, and personal growth in a supportive environment.

Individual Therapy: In one-on-one sessions, clients explore deeper emotional challenges, past trauma, or personal goals with a licensed therapist. This provides a safe, private space to process and apply strategies learned in group therapy.

Family Therapy: Recovery is often a family process. Our family therapy sessions help:

  • Improve communication
  • Resolve conflict
  • Educate loved ones about mental health

Involving family can strengthen support systems and encourage lasting change.

Medication Management: When appropriate, our psychiatric team offers medication evaluations and ongoing support. All medication plans are integrated into the broader IOP treatment for a well-rounded approach to recovery.
