Step-Down Care: Individual Therapy After IOP
Support That Continues Beyond IOP
As you complete your Intensive Outpatient Program, ongoing individual therapy helps you maintain progress, strengthen skills, and continue moving forward.
Program Components
Group therapy sessions
Support with Exposure practice.
Individual therapy sessions with an expert specialist
Psychoeducation about OCD, PTSD, and anxiety disorders
Skills for managing uncertainty, distress tolerance, and relapse prevention
Optional family or support-person sessions
WHAT IS STEP-DOWN THERAPY?
Step-down therapy refers to transitioning from a higher level of care, like IOP, into regular individual therapy sessions.
This allows you to:
Reinforce skills learned in IOP
Continue exposure-based work (ERP)
Navigate real-world challenges with support
Prevent relapse and maintain progress
WHY STEP-DOWN CARE MATTERS
Completing an Intensive Outpatient Program is a major step forward—but continued support is essential for maintaining progress.
Step-down care provides a smooth transition from structured, intensive treatment to ongoing therapy, helping you apply what you’ve learned in real life while continuing to build confidence and stability.
CONTINUE YOUR CARE
Your progress doesn’t end when IOP does.
Continuing with individual therapy helps you build on the work you’ve already done and maintain long-term success.
