Our outpatient team works with patients to develop healthier coping strategies, improve daily functioning, and address behavioral health or substance use challenges in a structured therapeutic setting. Treatment focuses on building practical skills and supportive routines that promote long-term stability and recovery.
Individual Therapy
Individual outpatient therapy sessions with licensed therapists or counselors are available to address a variety of mental health issues. Our therapists use different therapeutic approaches tailored to each patient’s needs. These approaches include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), which helps patients identify and change negative thought patterns; dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), which focuses on emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness; psychodynamic therapy, which explores the influence of past experiences on present behavior; and other evidence-based practices. Our goal is to provide flexible, personalized support to support each patient’s individualized treatment objectives and clinical needs.
Group Therapy
Outpatient group therapy sessions bring together individuals with similar mental health concerns to discuss their experiences, share coping strategies, and receive support from both peers and trained therapists. These sessions provide peer support and skill development within a structured therapeutic setting. Participants can gain new perspectives on their issues, learn from others’ experiences, and develop stronger coping mechanisms. Our group therapy options cover a wide range of topics, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and substance use.
Medication Management
Regions’ psychiatrist, Dr. Khan, and medical professionals can prescribe and monitor medications to manage psychiatric symptoms. We work closely with individuals in our IOP to determine an appropriate medication regimen based on symptoms, treatment response, and clinical needs. Our team ensures that medication management is part of a comprehensive treatment plan, which may also include therapy and other interventions. We prioritize patient safety and well-being, providing regular appointments to monitor progress and address any concerns.
Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Treatment
Regions Behavioral Hospital’s Intensive Outpatient Program provides treatment for adults experiencing substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health conditions. Services include group therapy, individual counseling, psychiatric support, and recovery-focused treatment planning designed to help patients maintain daily responsibilities while receiving structured care.
Psychosocial Education
IOP participants receive education about their mental health conditions, coping skills, stress management techniques, and strategies to reduce the risk of recurrence of symptoms or substance use. This education is a critical component of our outpatient programs, as it helps individuals better understand the knowledge and skills needed to manage their conditions effectively. By understanding their symptoms and triggers, individuals can develop better strategies to cope with stress and prevent relapse as they go about their lives. Our educational services are tailored to meet the unique needs of each patient in our IOP programs, ensuring they are well-prepared to support ongoing behavioral health management and recovery..
Aftercare Planning
Regions will outline recommendations for follow-up appointments, support groups, and community resources to support continuity of care following program completion. Aftercare planning is essential for maintaining the progress made during treatment and reducing the risk of future behavioral health or substance use crises. Our team works with each patient to create a personalized aftercare plan that may include medication management, support groups, and other resources. We are committed to providing ongoing support for recovery and behavioral health treatment after discharge.
