CITA offers a variety of intensive one-on-one outpatient treatment options that offer accelerated programs individually designed for patients in a concentrated 1 or 2-week format. This allows individuals to fly or drive in to our clinic and receive an immersive treatment experience that might not otherwise be available in their local area.
What is an Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program (IOTP)?In today’s increasingly busy world, it is difficult to make time for ourselves as we would like to. When confronted with psychological issues that need attention, the challenge of scheduling weekly long-term therapy may not be an option for our patients, especially those not local to The Center for Internet and Technology Addiction. We understand this at CITA and have developed a treatment program to address the demanding schedules of our patients and their families called the Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program that offers months and months of therapy in a shortened time. Patients usually opt for the five-day (20 hour) IOP, but Dr. Greenfield has also developed a two-day IOP, that requires the patient to attend ten hours per each day. This program has served high level professionals who have very limited scheduling time due to career demands. |
We recommend the five-day program for young adults and students, as well as adults. We recommend the two day for adults with high time constraints on their schedules. To learn more about Intensives, please give us a call or send us an email. |
