Silver Hill Hospital offers four Intensive Outpatient Programs for adults.

The Chemical Dependency/Dual Diagnosis IOP meets Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings from 5:45 - 8:30pm. This program is appropriate for patients diagnosed with either a chemical dependency or dual disorders. Groups include Relapse Prevention, Family Disease and Relapse Warning Signs, Understanding Emotions and Self-Esteem. This program also teaches patients Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills such as distress tolerance.

Two Dialectical Behavior Therapy IOPs are available. The 4-week program meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am - 12pm and the extended 6-week program meets Tuesday and Thursday from 9am - 12pm. These programs teach patients the core DBT skills of Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills and Distress Tolerance. To be eligible for this program, patients must be at low risk for self-harm behaviors and have a stable living environment. The DBT IOP also offers a weekly DBT Family Group with Kevin Holtzman, Ph.D.

Relationships and Recovery, an IOP for women, meets Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9am - 12pm. This program helps women who struggle with addiction to learn safe coping skills to maintain sobriety, as well as to explore underlying interpersonal issues including relationship difficulties, abuse, codependency and boundaries. Groups in this four-week program include Understanding Emotions, Healing from Anger, Coping Ahead and Self Esteem. The curriculum for this program draws from the Seeking Safety and DBT models of treatment.

All of the Silver Hill™ IOPs are covered by insurance and require that patients maintain a therapeutic relationship with a community-based therapist and psychiatrist for medication management, if appropriate. Groups are led by licensed clinicians, and the clinicians working in the DBT IOP are DBT trained.
