Adult Intensive Outpatient Program in Michigan
An adult intensive outpatient program, IOP, offers structured support for people who do not need 24-hour care. It helps more than a single weekly therapy session can. At Branches Lansing, a service of Cedar Creek Hospital, the Adult Intensive Outpatient Program can bridge the gap between acute care and one-on-one therapy. It can serve as an alternative to inpatient treatment or as a step-down from residential or acute mental healthcare, giving you a steady place to land as you move toward recovery.
What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An intensive outpatient program meets several times a week for group and individual sessions, while still allowing you to live at home and keep up with daily responsibilities. The program falls between inpatient hospitalization, with 24-hour supervision, and weekly therapy, which may not offer enough support. For many adults across Michigan, an IOP offers the right amount of structure without stepping away from everyday life.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I don’t live near Lansing?
Branches Lansing serves patients from across Michigan, not just the Lansing area. Because Cedar Creek Hospital is centrally located in Mid-Michigan, the program welcomes referrals from around the state, including the Upper Peninsula.
How long does an adult IOP typically last?
Intensive outpatient programs usually last several weeks and are tailored to each patient’s needs and progress. The exact length can vary depending on your treatment plan and how you’re responding to care.
How is an IOP different from a partial hospitalization program (PHP)?
An IOP typically meets for fewer hours each week than a partial hospitalization program, which makes it a good fit for adults who are more stable but still want ongoing support. A PHP offers a fuller day of structured treatment, while an IOP is built to work alongside work, school or family commitments.
Do I need a referral to start the program?
You don’t need to go through the emergency department to start care at Branches Lansing. You can call to schedule a level-of-care assessment directly, which helps determine whether an adult IOP is the right next step for you.
