Mountainside offers three options for Outpatient Services: Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP), Outpatient Program (OP) and Individual Therapy (IT). As part of treatment, you will have access to individual and group counseling, family therapy, psychiatric services, Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT) including Suboxone, Sublocade, and Vivitrol, toxicology screenings, and wellness therapies. Services are provided on an as needed basis as determined by your clinician.
We work with most private insurance companies on an out-of-network basis. We strive to help all our clients get the help they need and can discuss private payment options if needed.
Our IOP is a 7-week program with 12 hours of group counseling in the first three weeks and then 9 hours of group counseling in the remaining four weeks. Also included in IOP are three individual one-on-one sessions with a licensed clinician.
Our clinical structure is a mix of psychotherapy and psychoeducation utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques.
Our IOP is facilitated by our professional licensed clinicians. We also have guest speakers who come in to share their knowledge and experiences.
