IOP Clinician Referral

Referral Form  IOP Flyer

 

UNC’s IOP provides psychological services for adolescents ages 13-17 and young adults ages 18-26 with a mood disorder and/or anxiety who need a level of treatment less complex than hospitalization but more intense than traditional outpatient therapy. ​ 

Patients who might benefit from IOP include those being discharged from a psychiatric hospital or Emergency Department and those who may not meet criteria for hospitalization but are having increasing difficulty managing their depression and/or anxiety.
