Higher Levels of Care

The right level of care for your situation.

So you can get better, faster. 

Mental health care is a continuum of care. Many people benefit from outpatient counseling, which is typically 1-2 times per week visit with an outpatient counselor. 

Some people need a higher “dose” of care than traditional outpatient counseling can provide. When that happens, our Intensive Outpatient and Day Treatment programs provide a higher level of care. Clients can continue with their outpatient counselor and add these programs to receive more intensive treatment and feel better, faster. 

Sometimes medication management is necessary. In that case, we will address your situation holistically – physically, mentally, spiritually. Our goal is to help you find the right mix of care so you or the person you refer to us can feel whole again, and live as God intends you to live.

The appropriate level of care is determined either during your intake process or through a diagnostic assessment (DA). DAs are typically completed by your outpatient counselor or by the medical or mental health professional who refers you to our higher levels of care. 

Most higher level care is covered by insurance. Learn more about paying for services here, or talk with our helpful intake team at 800-438-1772. We’ll be happy to answer your questions and walk you through the process.

We’re committed to excellent outcomes that impact lives.

What happens next?

If you have been referred to one of our intensive outpatient programs (IOPs), or if you inquire about an IOP program, here’s what happens next: 

  • You will receive a call from one of our intake specialists who will walk you through scheduling of the initial screening and assessment over the phone. (If one of our CFS counselors referred you, this step may have been completed during your most recent visit.) 
  • Our intake specialists will verify insurance, request authorizations as needed, and provide all the documentation needed to start the program. 
  • Our IOP program manager will determine your start date and contact you with scheduling information. 

If you have any questions, we’re here to help. Our intake specialists are skilled in helping clients schedule their care and how it can fit with work, home, or school commitments.
