Independent care navigation and education

Understand intensive outpatient treatment. Compare programs. Take the next safe step.

We help people understand how intensive outpatient treatment works and compare program options by location, treatment focus, age group, virtual availability, schedule, and payment pathway. We are not a treatment provider, and we do not rank programs.

Browse by state, city, or focus

New York and New Jersey are live. We publish city pages only where there is real local context to add, rather than generating a page for every place name.

New York

Statewide overview plus New York City, Long Island, Albany, and Buffalo.

New Jersey

Statewide overview plus Newark, Jersey City, Princeton, and Cherry Hill.

Compare levels of care

Levels of care differ mainly in structure and intensity. Which one fits is determined through assessment by a qualified clinician, not by a checklist.

How outpatient levels of care generally differ
FeatureTypical structureWhere a person lives
Weekly outpatient therapyUsually one session per weekAt home
Intensive outpatient (IOP)Several sessions per week, most often in groupsAt home
Partial hospitalization (PHP)Most of the day, most weekdaysAt home or in supported housing

How to use this site

Understand the level of care

Learn what intensive outpatient treatment involves and how it differs from partial hospitalization, inpatient care, and weekly therapy.

Start with the basics

Prepare to compare

Use a consistent set of questions about focus, schedule, psychiatric access, and continuing care rather than comparing marketing pages.

How to compare programs

Understand payment

What drives cost, how coverage decisions are typically made, and the questions worth asking a plan before enrolling.

Cost and insurance

Check what is verified

Every program record shows which fields were confirmed, from which kind of source, and on what date.

How verification works

Program comparison

Search program records

Filter by state, treatment focus, age group, format, schedule, language, and payment pathway. Records currently shown are labeled demonstration examples.

Filter programs

Filters reflect only what a program has stated and we have recorded. Fields left blank have not been verified, and a blank field does not mean a service is unavailable. A listing on this site is not an endorsement and does not indicate that a program is clinically superior to a program that is not listed.
