How the MindWork Group Intensive Outpatient Program is organized
The MindWork Group IOP is organized into three phases, each offering different levels of care and support:
Phase 1: Intensive Evaluation/Treatment with optional Supportive Housing
How often you’ll visit the office: 4-5 days per week
Overview: This phase begins with an initial 2 week commitment to the program with daily attendance. We provide intensive evaluation, treatment and stabilization for people struggling with mental health and substance use disorders. Beyond the initial 2 week commitment, phase 1 consists of four to five days of intensive outpatient treatment per week, which includes individual and group psychotherapy, family therapy, occupational therapy, and other paths to healing, such as art and recreational therapies.
All services are provided within our nurturing community, with our doctors providing more than 10 hours a week of group therapy in addition to individual meetings with patients.
Importantly, supportive housing can be included in this phase, which is often crucial for individuals who may not have stable living arrangements or whose living environments contribute to their challenges. Supportive housing is available at the MindWork Group supported living home (Kairos House) or a boutique hotel immediately adjacent to the clinical offices.
Your treatment team will work with you to determine the length of Phase 1 treatment and readiness for stepping down to Phase 2.
Important information: The initial 2 week commitment at the Phase 1 level of care is required with daily participation to enter treatment in the MindWork IOP. We require that you commit to abstinence from all mind and mood altering substances, including alcohol and cannabis. Your cooperation with this requirement will be confirmed through drug screens.
Cost and Payment: $8,000 per week, which includes the cost of supportive housing if appropriate. To secure your admission date, you must remit a $5,000 non-refundable deposit. Payment for the remainder of the initial 2 weeks is due upon admission. Ongoing care can be paid by the treatment day, week or month.
If you opted to have an outpatient consultation the cost of that will be applied to your intensive program stay if you admit within 30 days of the consultation.
Phase 2: Intensive Treatment with optional Supportive Housing
How often you’ll visit the office: 3-5 days per week
Overview: Phase 2 offers less intensive treatment, with the goal of supporting you in returning to life outside of the program. While still providing a high level of care, it allows for more flexibility. Treatment focuses on the challenges that arise as you work to return to daily life.
In this phase, you’ll take begin to apply the insights and skills you are gaining from your work with your treatment team to your world outside of treatment. You’ll be supported in your return to part-time work, volunteerism, or school. You may also attend to your relationships more closely which may have suffered during the acute phase of your illness. If needed, supportive housing is also available during this phase, so that you can continue residing in a supportive environment.
Transitioning to Phase 2 is an active process where you work with your team to determine if this is the right step. We expect you to talk with your team and be an active participant in enabling a successful transition to Phase 2. Vacation, leaves of absence, and schedule modifications may be requested during this phase as well.
Cost and payment: $6,000 per week, with additional housing cost. Payment must be made per week. Those who pay monthly will qualify for a 5% discount. For those who want to stay at Kairos house, the cost ranges from $4,000 to $6,000 each month, depending on the room. Patients who are residing in the hotel are responsible for their own housing expenses in this phase.
Phase 3: Outpatient Psychological and Psychiatric Services with Supportive Housing Available if Needed
How often you’ll visit the office: Phase 3 patients attend groups more sporadically eventually discharging from the intensive program while continuing outpatient care. MindWork Group’s capacity to continue services beyond the completion of our intensive program provides you and important people involved in your treatment with valuable continuity as you transition back to regular life. Whom you see and how often will be determined by your individual and unique needs at this stage.
Overview: Phase 3 represents a transition back to life in full swing. It focuses on maintaining hard-won momentum in recovery and typically includes traditional outpatient services, as well as implementation of other treatment approaches that you have found helpful along the way into your day to day life.
Supportive housing remains available so that you can continue to access supportive living arrangements as needed while focusing on your ongoing recovery.
