Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Our Adult Intensive Outpatient Program

Millions of people in the U.S. are affected by mental illness each year. The statistics for adults who suffer each year from a mental health disorder is glaring.

According to National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI):

• 1 in 5 U.S. adults experience mental illness each year
• 1 in 20 U.S. adults experience serious mental illness each year

The staff at Branches Dallas understands the need in the community for quality mental health services for adults.
