Healing for You.
Healing for Your Family.
DeSoto Memorial Hospital's Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) helps you overcome challenges by rebuilding the family bonds that matter most.

Is a Mental Health or Substance Use Crisis Straining Your Family?
When one person is struggling, the entire family feels the impact. The path to recovery can feel isolating, but it doesn't have to be. Do any of these feel familiar?
Broken Communication
Conversations turn into arguments, or worse, silence, creating distance and misunderstanding.
Loss of Trust
Years of trust have been eroded by actions or words, leaving suspicion and hurt in its place.
Constant Worry
You live with a persistent fear for your loved one’s health, safety, and future.
Enabling vs. Supporting
You're unsure how to provide genuine support without enabling destructive behaviors.
The Proven Impact of Family Support
Treatment is most effective when it addresses the entire family system. Research shows that when families participate in the recovery process, outcomes improve dramatically.
