ASAP Cincinnati: Intensive Outpatient Programs

Bridging the Gap in Behavioral Health Care

ASAP Cincinnati provides CARF-accredited intensive outpatient programs (IOP) that fill a critical need in the continuum of care for adolescents and young adults. Our evidence-based programs are well suited to serve clients who need a bit more help than traditional weekly psychotherapy.  They also work well as step down treatment from hospitalization, partial hospitalization (PHP), or residential treatment when clients are ready to transition back to community-based care.

Referring to ASAP Cincinnati

When a teen or young adult client is facing a transition in level of care, we know you want to ensure a good fit and a warm hand off. We have clients who are transitioning from weekly individual treatment as well as those returning home after a residential, in-patient, or partial hospitalization stay, and ASAP is uniquely positioned to help clients and families feel cared for. As a family owned and operated facility, we make care choices that are right for each client and their support system.

How Can ASAP Cincinnati Help?

The Right Level of Care at the Right Time

Many families struggle to find the right level of care for the teens and young adults in their lives.  Providers know this as well – having to manage complex cases with only a single appointment per week and sometimes less.  ASAP is well suited to  assist in these situations. Our intensive outpatient programs provide:

• 9 hours per week of structured group therapy with individual sessions as needed
• Evidence-based treatment modalities including CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention
• Family integration to create sustainable change beyond the treatment setting
• Rapid access to care – typically within 72 hours of initial contact
• Coordination with referring providers to ensure continuity of care
• Measurable outcomes – 88% of clients report significant symptom reduction within 10 weeks

When Clients Need More Than Weekly Therapy

Signs Your Client May Benefit from IOP:

For Substance Use (TRIP or PIVOT):

• Continued substance use despite outpatient treatment
• Multiple relapses or inability to maintain abstinence
• Substance use causing significant impairment in functioning
