Start With Symptom Severity

If symptoms are mild or relatively stable, weekly therapy may be enough. If symptoms are worsening or interfering with daily life, more structured care may be needed.

Understand the Levels of Care

  • Outpatient therapy for lower-intensity support
  • IOP for moderate symptoms and more structure
  • PHP for more severe or unstable symptoms

Consider Your Treatment History

If weekly therapy has not been enough, it may be time to step up into IOP or PHP. If you are stepping down from a higher level of care, IOP may be an appropriate next step.

Think About Daily Functioning

  • Are symptoms affecting work or school?
  • Are relationships being disrupted?
  • Do you need more support between therapy sessions?
