East Bay Mental Health Center  INTENSIVE OUTPATIENT PROGRAM & PARTIAL HOSPITALIZATION PROGRAM
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) utilize similar therapy and treatment models, but are conducted in varying degrees of intensity and duration, depending upon the individual client. The Adolescent Program, is currently located at the Adams Farley Counseling Center in East Providence, RI, while the Adult Program is located at the John P. Digits Jr., Building in Barrington, RI.

Both programs are considered "short term treatment" – usually three (3) weeks or less and are focused on stabilization, skill acquisition, and crises management. PHP operates five (5) days per week, Monday through Friday, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. IOP operates three (3) days per week, from 9:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

The programs also provide focused skills and counseling to those individuals in need of substance abuse treatment and services. Specific educational Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) for co-occurring disorders is a skills-focused program, which targets thought processes and symptom management, while enhancing coping skill capabilities, which result in decreased symptoms and improved over-all functioning. It is a treatment program that has been shown to improve people's ability to stay present in the moment, tolerate intense emotions, manage their emotions effectively, and enhance the overall quality of their relationships. Formal substance abuse evaluations using recognized, standardized testing materials are available. The testing, report, and recommendations are performed and billed separately from the programs.

Programs require authorization from your insurer and may include a co-payment and/or deductible. Please contact your insurance company for specific information regarding your coverage. Arrangements for self-pay may also be made through our Business Office.
