What to Expect at Discharge From PHP/IOP

While PHP and IOP can help you get on the right path, mental health recovery takes longer than a few weeks. Therefore, it is important to have a plan for your mental health care after the program ends.

A typical aftercare plan includes seeing a psychiatrist and therapist on a regular basis. If you need to find a psychiatrist or therapist, we suggest you allow a few weeks to secure appointments. We can help by providing guidance and resources to include information on providers, clinics, group therapy, and support groups. Your assigned clinician will work with you on your aftercare plan, so please feel free to ask them any questions you may have.

Shortly before discharge or on the day of discharge, you will meet with your primary clinician to review your progress during treatment. We will also ask you to complete symptom questionnaires and a Perception of Care Survey. This survey is an important way for us to learn how to continually improve our programs. We read every comment and take all input seriously. Thank you in advance for completing the survey and helping us to improve our programs.
