Virtual IOP in Advent

Advent, an unincorporated community in southeastern Jackson County, faces unique mental health challenges due to its rural setting and limited access to resources. Virtual Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) provide a vital solution for residents, offering a flexible, online treatment option for mental health and substance use disorders. With a population of just over 5,000, Advent can benefit from the accessibility that virtual services bring, allowing residents to receive the support they need from the comfort of their homes.

For the people of Advent, Virtual IOP programs are designed to maintain a balance between treatment and daily responsibilities such as work, school, and family commitments. By participating in structured therapy sessions typically ranging from 9-20 hours per week, individuals can engage in evidence-based treatments like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), empowering them to overcome challenges such as depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.

Getting started with a Virtual IOP is simple—individuals can reach out to providers who specialize in their needs and accept their insurance, including Medicare and Medicaid. With licensed therapists available for individual, group, and family sessions, residents of Advent can embark on their journey toward improved mental health easily and efficiently.
