Portsmouth, Virginia, is not only known for its strategic military significance, particularly with the Norfolk Naval Shipyard, but also for the growing need for mental health resources in the community. As the city continues to expand, the mental health challenges faced by residents necessitate innovative solutions. Virtual Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) are designed to meet these needs, offering flexible treatment options that can be accessed from the comfort of home.

Residents of Portsmouth can greatly benefit from Virtual IOP as it allows individuals to maintain their work, school, and family commitments while receiving essential mental health support.
