The program is designed for adults who need a high level of support to help manage their symptoms when safety and structure are a concern. Participants attend the program Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m.–3:00 p.m., excluding holidays. The usual length of stay is two weeks.</p> <p>On admission, participants are assigned a psychiatrist and primary clinician who provide comprehensive evaluation, medication management, supportive counseling, and aftercare planning. Participants can expect to meet with their assigned clinicians to support their treatment needs, typically once or twice per week.</p> <p>Each treatment day consists of four therapy groups with a one-hour break for lunch. Fresh lunch is provided in the UCSF Health Cafeteria. Group therapy at Langley Porter is grounded in mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Participants will learn skills to promote mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance with the goals of maintaining safety, improving day-to-day functioning, and decreasing the severity of symptoms.</p> <p>At the time of discharge, participants may still experience symptoms, but will have the capacity and skills to remain safe in a less structured environment. Following treatment, participants may transition to an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) or back to previously established outpatient mental health providers. If providers need to be established, the treatment team will assist you with resources for this as well as other resources based on individual needs.</p> <hr /> <h2>Intensive Outpatient Program</h2> <p>The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is an option for people with moderate psychiatric symptoms who need increased support, but are able to structure their time outside of the program and keep themselves safe. The schedule and duration of IOP allows participants to learn and integrate skills in a supportive environment while navigating the stressors of daily life. Participants are often able to continue or resume work or school schedules while attending IOP.</p> <p>On admission, participants are assigned a psychiatrist and primary clinician who provide comprehensive evaluation, medication management, supportive counseling, and aftercare planning. Participants can expect to meet with their assigned clinicians to support their treatment needs, typically once per week.</p> <p>Each treatment day consists of three therapy groups. Group therapy at Langley Porter is grounded in mindfulness and acceptance-based therapies, including dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). Participants will learn skills to promote mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and distress tolerance with the goal of enhancing day-to-day coping and symptom management.</p> <p>At the time of discharge, most participants experience noticeable improvement in symptoms with the stability and confidence to transition back to their daily lives with the support of previously established outpatient mental health providers. If providers need to be established, the treatment team will assist you with resources for this as well as other resources based on individual needs.</p> <h3>IOP programs and schedules</h3> <p><strong>IOP for Adults</strong> is six weeks in length and participants attend one of the two following schedules:</p> <ul> <li>Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 9:00 a.m.–12:00 p.m.</li> <li>Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, 10:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.<br /> </li> </ul> <p><strong>IOP for Transitional Age Youth</strong> ages 18-26 is eight weeks in length and participants attend the following schedule:</p> <ul> <li>Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, 1:00–4:00 p.m.<br /> </li> </ul> <p>Our program for transitional age youth is tailored to address the unique challenges that arise at this developmental stage, including identity formation, separation from family of origin, increased demands of school or work, and navigating romantic relationships, to name a few.</p> <p><strong>Optional fourth day of IOP</strong> - For additional support, participants in all IOP programs have the option to attend an additional day on Fridays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.</p> <hr /> <h2>Contact us</h2> <p><strong>To request PHP or IOP services, please call our team at <a href="tel:+14154767400">(415) 476-7400</a>.
