Intensive Outpatient (IOP) is typically 9–12 hours of programming per week — usually 3 hours per session, 3 days a week. Partial Care (the NJ equivalent of PHP-level care) is a higher intensity: typically 20+ hours per week across 5 days. Both are outpatient — patients live at home — but Partial Care provides more structure and clinical support for patients stepping down from inpatient or requiring more than IOP can offer.

IOP is planned for 9–12 hours per week (three ~3-hour sessions). Partial Care is planned for 20+ hours per week across 5 days. Exact schedules will be published closer to opening.
