Lifeways Stepping Stones Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a specialized intensive outpatient program designed for adults who struggle with severe and persistent mental illness looking for a supportive recovery environment. This program is tailored to meet the needs of individuals whose symptoms and stage of recovery would be better served with additional support and structure than traditional outpatient services are designed to offer. Stepping Stones allows individuals the flexibility to remain active members of the community while receiving intensive mental health treatment and support.
