Clarity Clinic offers Partial Hospitalization (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient (IOP) Programs, providing compassionate care and support for individuals experiencing acute psychiatric symptoms or struggling with mental health disorders. These therapeutic programs are designed to offer group-based treatment options, fostering a supportive environment for individuals on their journey to recovery.
A Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides a more intensive treatment than an IOP. Participants attend group treatment sessions for four hours a day, five days a week, allowing participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. PHP offers a higher level of support and structure than IOP. In addition to the 20-hours a week of group work that this program requires, PHP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, family/support persons therapy as recommended, and psychiatric monitoring.
Clarity Clinic's Intensive Outpatient Program (PHP) involves participants attending group treatment sessions for three hours a day, three to five days a week depending on the participant's assessed needs. This allows participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. In addition to the structured 9-15 hours a week of group work that this program requires, IOP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy and optional medication management.
Both PHP and IOP programs aim to stabilize individuals in need of additional mental health support by:
Clarity Clinic's Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) provides a more comprehensive level of care compared to our IOP Program. Our PHP Program takes place from 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm, Monday through Friday, 20 hours per week. Depending on the individuals situation, it is often recommended that they take a leave from school and/or work to focus primarily on their mental health treatment. Patients participate daily in a blend of group and individual therapy sessions led by our licensed therapists.
In addition to the 20-hours a week of group work that this program requires, PHP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, family/support persons therapy as recommended, and psychiatric monitoring.
Your first day will include meeting your treatment team, getting acclimated to the program and what to expect from your treatment, and joining the group setting. You will also receive information on the program and details about the weekly schedule and what groups to expect. Please note, grab-and-go meals will be provided daily for you to enjoy during your group sessions.
The duration of PHP treatment varies based on the individual's assessed needs through treatment planning. This begins at intake and is assessed collaboratively throughout treatment by both the patient and their treatment team. Typically, the aim is to transition to IOP, which is regarded as a less intensive level of behavioral health care.

Clarity Clinic's Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) offers numerous benefits for individuals navigating mental health concerns. PHP provides a structured and supportive environment where patients can engage in intensive therapy and treatment while still maintaining connections with their daily lives. With PHP, individuals receive comprehensive care tailored to their specific needs, including group therapy, individual counseling, optional medication management, and skill-building exercises.
This program offers a higher level of support than traditional outpatient therapy, allowing patients to address their mental health challenges in a therapeutic setting while still having the flexibility to return home each day. PHP also serves as a crucial step in the recovery process, helping individuals develop coping strategies, build resilience, and establish a strong foundation for long-term mental wellness.
Clarity Clinic's Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a short term treatment approach with sessions lasting three hours per day from 4:30 pm - 7:30 pm, three to five days per week depending on the participant's assessed needs. Patients can prioritize their mental health while still managing work, school, and daily responsibilities at home.
In addition to the structured 9-15 hours a week of group work that this program requires, IOP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, family/support persons therapy as recommended, and psychiatric monitoring.

Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) offer several benefits for individuals seeking mental health support. With IOP, patients can maintain their daily routines, including work, school, and family commitments, while receiving comprehensive therapeutic care. The structured nature of IOP sessions provides a supportive environment for addressing mental health challenges, offering a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, and skill-building activities.
This program equips individuals with coping strategies, enhances their support network through group interaction, and fosters a sense of community. Additionally, IOP serves as a vital step in the recovery journey, providing a transition between more intensive treatment settings and independent living while offering ongoing support and relapse prevention strategies.
At Clarity Clinic, we understand that each individual's journey and mental health objectives are unique. Our dedicated team is committed to assisting you in selecting the treatment program that aligns best with your specific needs.
Upon expressing interest in our PHP/IOP services, our intake coordinators will conduct a thorough evaluation lasting between 60 to 90 minutes. Following this assessment, you will receive a comprehensive evaluation report detailing expert recommendations on the most suitable treatment approach for you.

As treatment progresses, programs can be modified from PHP to IOP or vice versa to ensure the best fit for your evolving needs.

The difference between a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and an Intensive Outpatient Program (PHP) is that PHP provides a more intensive treatment and level of care than an IOP, typically requiring individuals to take a break from work or school. In contrast, IOP is less intensive, allowing individuals to maintain their daily routines while attending group sessions for a few hours several times per week.
With a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), participants attend group treatment sessions for four hours a day, five days a week, allowing participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. In addition to the 20-hours a week of group work that this program requires, PHP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, family/support persons therapy as recommended, and psychiatric monitoring.
Clarity Clinic's Intensive Outpatient Program (PHP) involves participants attending group treatment sessions for three hours a day, three to five days a week depending on the participant's assessed needs. This allows participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. In addition to the structured 9-15 hours a week of group work that this program requires, IOP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy and optional medication management.
Both PHP and IOP programs aim to stabilize individuals in need of additional mental health support by providing comprehensive psychiatric and therapeutic care, teaching coping skills and recurrence management strategies, and supporting individuals in their wellness journey. These programs offer an alternative to inpatient hospitalization and serve as either a step-up for individuals who require additional support but do not necessitate the intensity of an acute care setting, or as a step-down from an acute care setting, allowing individuals to receive the support they need while maintaining connections to their communities and support networks.

PLEASE NOTE: Our PHP/IOP programs do not treat individuals with active substance addiction or non-stabilized eating disorders. Clarity Clinic specializes in treating mood and other mental health disorders, such as depression and anxiety, and offers care for individuals in recovery.

If someone is engaged in onsite PHP treatment at Clarity Clinic, they will attend group treatment sessions for four hours a day, Monday through Friday. This allows participants to return home or to a supportive environment outside of treatment hours. In addition to the 20-hours a week of group work that this program requires, PHP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, treatment planning sessions, psychiatric monitoring, and psychoeducation. PHP offers a higher level of support and structure than IOP.
We have two different times available for our onsite IOP program at our Chicago Loop location - morning and evening. IOP runs for 3 hours per day, three to five days per week depending on the participant's assessed needs. These hours are ideal for clients that have school, work, or family duties to attend to. In addition to the structured 9-15 hours a week of group work that this program requires, IOP will also require participants to set aside additional time for individual therapy, optional medication management, and psychoeducation.
If a client needs more support than the maximum amount of support available for IOP, they will likely be transitioned into a PHP program. IOP programming also differs from PHP programming in that clients may be able to continue working with their outpatient therapist while completing IOP treatment. That is not accessible for those who are in PHP.
The duration of your PHP/IOP treatment will vary based on your unique recovery progress, as every individual's needs are different. Learn more about our PHP & IOP program curriculum.
Our PHP and IOP programs are currently being offered to adults 18 years and over at our Clarity Clinic Chicago Loop location at 333 N Michigan Ave, Suite 1400.
Our Clarity Clinic Loop office is conveniently located close to the “L”, multiple CTA stops, and the Metra.
Yes! Clarity Clinic offers a Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program (Virtual IOP). Our virtual IOP for mental health allows us to deliver high quality treatment to those who are unable to attend an IOP program in person or who prefer to receive IOP services at home. Our online IOP runs for three hours per day (4:30pm - 7:30pm), five days per week, with a minimum attendance requirement of three days per week based on the patient's assessed needs.

In terms of our Partial Hospitalization Program (PPHP), right now this is only onsite. There are, however, a few exceptions to this:
In the future, we plan to offer virtual PHP programming too.
PHP/IOP programs offer several benefits for individuals seeking mental health treatment including:
One of the invaluable benefits of participating in an PHP/IOP program at Clarity Clinic is the opportunity to engage in a group setting with individuals facing similar challenges. Additionally, being surrounded by peers who understand the struggles firsthand provides a sense of solidarity and comfort, knowing that you're not alone in your journey toward wellness. The shared experiences foster a supportive environment where participants can openly express themselves, offer mutual encouragement, and gain insights from others' perspectives. This group dynamic promotes connection, empathy, and a sense of belonging, which are essential elements in the healing process.
Overall, PHP/IOP programs empower individuals to actively engage in their recovery journey, equipping them with coping skills, support networks, and strategies to manage mental health challenges effectively. Learn more about our PHP & IOP program curriculum.
At Clarity Clinic, we understand the importance of flexibility when it comes to accessing mental health care. As we work towards our participation with your health insurance plans, we are accepting both self-pay and out-of-network patients for our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP). Our patients will have the freedom to choose our programs even if we're not directly contracted with their insurance providers yet.
While out-of-network benefits may vary, they often offer individuals the opportunity to receive comprehensive mental health treatment without being restricted by network limitations. Our team is dedicated to assisting patients in navigating their insurance coverage and maximizing their benefits to ensure they receive the care they need to thrive. It is important to understand your benefits prior to starting your treatment.
Clarity Clinic also accepts self-pay for both our PHP/IOP programs. We understand that individuals may choose to pay for their treatment directly, and we accommodate self-pay options for those who prefer this method. Our goal is to ensure accessibility to our programs for individuals seeking comprehensive mental health support.
When someone completes PHP treatment, they will likely step down to IOP and when someone completes IOP treatment, they will likely step down to outpatient therapy.
At Clarity Clinic, our commitment to comprehensive care extends beyond PHP/IOP treatments. Upon completion of PHP/IOP, we seamlessly transition our clients to ongoing support by connecting them with a Clarity Clinic prescriber for continued medication management. Additionally, clients have the option to work with a personal therapist simultaneously if they desire. One benefit of Clarity Clinic’s PHP/IOP programs is that we prioritize coordination of care, ensuring that our clients receive holistic support tailored to their individual needs.
For those grappling with depression, we offer Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) therapy as an adjunct treatment option, providing comprehensive care under one roof. At Clarity Clinic, we prioritize your mental health journey by offering integrated services to support your ongoing wellness and recovery.
Not an existing Clarity Clinic patient? No problem! Our Clarity Clinic patient care team will collaborate with your existing outpatient team to provide a seamless transition back to your preferred provider upon your discharge from our PHP/IOP program.
Don't have an existing outpatient team? We'll make sure you are connected with one prior to your discharge.
