Programas de Psiquiatría Ambulatoria Intensiva

The Montefiore Behavioral Health Center (MBHC) Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides intensive medication management and psychotherapy services for individuals with a range of mental health conditions who require a higher level of care. The IOP is a structured treatment option tailored for patients who are experiencing worsening mood and anxiety symptoms and need more support than traditional outpatient therapy.

Participants who enroll in the MBHC IOP benefit from ongoing medication management, including adjustments and changes depending on individual needs. Enrollment in the IOP requires individuals to participate in treatment seven or more hours per week with various therapeutic modalities that help the individual understand their mental health condition while learning coping strategies and healthy lifestyle choices.

The IOP at Montefiore Behavioral Health Center incorporates a range of therapeutic interventions tailored for adults and adolescents. Patients engage in individual and group psychotherapy using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and creative arts therapy.

Other modalities include:

• Access to treatment-resistant depression (TRD)
• Esketamine treatment
• Desensibilización y reprocesamiento por movimientos oculares (DRMO)
• Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)

Specialty tracks include bilingual services, on-site primary care services, medication management, a long-acting injectable clinic, buprenorphine maintenance treatment and naloxone kits.

Depending on age, prospective IOP patients may qualify for treatment with either the adult or child and adolescent tracks. The adult program is for individuals 18 and older, while the Wakefield Child and Adolescent Outpatient Division provides treatment for youth between the ages of 12 and 17.
