After IOP: Maintaining Progress

Editor’s note: Finishing IOP is a milestone, not the finish line. A clear aftercare plan keeps progress moving.

Questions to ask about aftercare

• What ongoing therapy or support is recommended?
• How will progress be measured after discharge?
• What should we do if symptoms return?
• Is the program available for check-ins or boosters?

At-home consistency

• Keep routines predictable
• Practice the CBT and DBT skills learned in IOP
• Maintain open communication and check-ins
