Intensive Outpatient (IOP)

Mental Health Conditions Treated in VIOP

The virtual intensive outpatient program (VIOP) at Millwood Hospital Branches is designed for teens with after-school academic or athletic interests and obligations. They continue with their regular routine and activities and receive mental health care in the evening right from their home.

We treat a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

  • Anxiety
  • Behavioral problems
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
  • Bipolar disorder
  • Depression
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Substance use disorder (SUD)
  • Trauma

Online Program for Adolescent Mental Health

Virtual intensive outpatient (VIOP) care provides group and individual therapy. Sessions take place three hours a night, three nights a week.

The online nature of the program enables adolescents (ages 12-18) across Texas to participate. VIOP is ideal for self-disciplined teens who can pay attention and participate in a virtual setting.

Two hours of the program are dedicated to group therapy, focusing on sharing, learning and processing. Participants address common topics and bond as peers on a mental health care journey. They learn how to reframe negative situations and seek out evidence that supports (or disputes) their interpretation of events.

The third hour is a breakout session for individual video visits with a therapist. Teens see the same therapist throughout the VIOP. The goal is to help successful students and student athletes overcome the emotional challenges that hold them back.
