What are you trying to figure out?
This tool organizes information and questions. It does not diagnose or determine what treatment someone needs.
Mental-health care, without the alphabet soup.
Treatment is not always a ladder. A qualified clinician should determine which kind of care is appropriate for an individual situation.
Outpatient
Scheduled therapy, psychiatry or other appointments while living at home.
IOP
Intensive outpatient programs generally offer more structured treatment than routine outpatient visits while participants live at home.
PHP
Partial hospitalization generally provides structured treatment for much of the day while participants typically return home afterward.
Residential
Residential programs provide treatment in a live-in setting. Program structure and specialties vary.
Inpatient
Hospital-based psychiatric treatment when a clinical team determines hospital-level care is appropriate.
Before intake
Ask about schedule, family involvement, insurance authorization, childcare, discharge planning and what support comes next.
