Intensive outpatient program (IOP) and partial hospitalization program (PHP)
The IOP/PHP allows you to receive group therapy and return to the comfort of your own home after treatment each day. It can be an excellent option if you do not require hospitalization but benefit from additional therapy.
While in the IOP/PHP, you are under the care of a psychiatrist and receive therapy from a licensed behavioral health professional. The goal is to gradually reduce your participation in the program as your symptoms improve.
Electroconvulsive therapy
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is a modern medical treatment used to treat severe mental conditions. During treatment, you receive a brief electrostimulation to the scalp to help the brain release chemicals to restore normal functioning.
ECT is administered by a team of doctors, nursing and nursing assistants. A typical course of treatment is six to 12 sessions performed two to three times per week. These sessions may be inpatient, outpatient or a combination of the two.
