Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The Village's Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for mental health is now available hybrid and fully remote!


When traditional outpatient methods have not provided the level of support you need, The Village's Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for mental health can offer help, guidance, and hope.

Stabilize symptoms in a less restrictive environment and get the support you need to create positive change in your thoughts and behaviors. Learn problem-solving and coping skills and how to build and maintain a healthy support network. 

The Village's IOP is dedicated to providing you with the best care and support tailored to an individual's unique needs.

Each session is held at The Village, 2701 12th Ave. S., Fargo, every Monday through Thursday, from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM. Program length is customized to each individual.

What is IOP like?

IOP is a confidential mental health treatment program during which clients receive education and support, develop coping skills, and problem-solve life’s ongoing stress and challenges in a group setting. Education covers areas specific to client diagnosis and needs, such as wellness, self-care, relationships, moods, communication, mindfulness, and safety planning. In addition to supporting our clients, we are available to educate and support their family and friends, as the client needs and wants. 

The Village IOP for mental health includes:

  • Group therapy

  • Individual sessions

  • Family sessions

  • Individualized treatment planning

  • Case management

Mental health is just as important as our physical health. The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at The Village gives you the opportunity to heal from the past, live in the present, and hope for the future.
