Mental Health Treatment at Serenity Wellness
Comprehensive intensive outpatient care for individuals experiencing serious mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders
What is Mental Health IOP?
When mental health symptoms persist, intensify, or start interfering with daily life, weekly therapy may not be enough. Our Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides structured, comprehensive support for individuals experiencing serious mental health conditions alongside substance use disorders.
At Serenity Wellness, we recognize that mental health and addiction are often deeply interconnected. Our integrated approach addresses both simultaneously, treating the whole person rather than isolated symptoms. Whether you're transitioning from a higher level of care or need more support than traditional outpatient therapy can provide, our program is designed to help you make meaningful progress while maintaining your daily responsibilities.
Our flexible day and evening scheduling options allow you to receive intensive treatment without putting your life on hold, making recovery accessible for working individuals, parents, and students.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does mental health IOP work at Serenity Wellness?
Our Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program provides comprehensive treatment for individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. Each treatment plan is personalized and includes individual therapy, group therapy, family sessions, medical oversight, and holistic wellness activities.
We offer flexible day and evening scheduling options to accommodate work, school, and family responsibilities, typically meeting 3-4 days per week for several hours each day.
Who is the right fit for mental health IOP?
Our program is designed for individuals who need more intensive support than weekly therapy can provide, but don't require 24/7 residential care. This includes those transitioning from higher levels of care (residential, inpatient, PHP) or those struggling with both mental health conditions and substance use who need comprehensive daily support.
How long is the program?
Program length varies based on individual needs and progress, but typically ranges from 6-12 weeks. Your treatment team will work with you to determine the appropriate duration and will adjust your care plan as needed to support your recovery goals.
Do you accept insurance?
We work with most major insurance providers. Contact our admissions team at (804) 324-5945 to verify your coverage and discuss payment options. We're committed to making quality mental health and addiction treatment accessible.
What makes Serenity Wellness different?
We specialize in integrated treatment for co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders, addressing both simultaneously rather than treating them separately.
