Adult Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Group Schedule

Morning program hours:
Monday - Friday 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Evening program hours:
Monday - Thursday 6 to 9 p.m.

The Adult Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program is designed to help individuals who do not require hospitalization, but can benefit from participation in a structured therapeutic environment. This strategy addresses mental and emotional health needs and provides a supportive and caring environment.

Our program helps clients understand the relationship between their thoughts and behaviors. Through education and group therapy individuals develop coping skills to improve their mental health and, thus, their daily lives.

Patients will:

  • Recognize personal strengths and weaknesses
  • Develop essential coping skills
  • Identify, challenge and modify distorted thoughts and beliefs
  • Improve their ability to problem solve and cope with emotional crises
  • Work to change dysfunctional or destructive behavior patterns
  • Refine communication skills
  • Set immediate and long-term goals
  • Complete structured homework assignments
  • Build an effective aftercare plan

Who can recommend care?

  • Friends, family members or significant others
  • Anyone who knows someone suffering from mental distress or emotional trauma
  • Primary care physicians

Meet our team of experts.

Seton Shoal Creek Hospital provides a treatment team of licensed professionals from multiple disciplines. Together, they provide a total system of healing for each patient. The treatment is supervised by an independent psychiatrist and supported by a fully licensed staff that includes registered nurses, social workers, professional counselors, certified therapists and mental health technicians. Our team encourages family involvement for a faster recovery.

Getting started is easy.

A physician’s referral is not necessary to begin treatment. Just schedule an appointment for a clinical evaluation with our Outpatient Assessment and Referral department at 512-324-2039. During the assessment, costs will be provided and insurance benefits will be verified.

Signs & Symptoms of Mental Distress in Adults

  • Changes in eating and sleeping habits
  • Missed work or sudden poor performance
  • Withdrawal from friends and family
  • Feelings of worthlessness or guilt
  • Lack of enthusiasm and motivation
  • Anger, rage or anxiety
  • Thoughts of death or suicide
  • Persistent sad or “empty” mood
  • Decreased energy and constant fatigue
  • Thoughts or talk of self-harm or harm to others

Any one of the above signs may not be enough to indicate mental distress or the inability to regulate emotions, but should be enough to suggest there could be a problem.
