Intensive Outpatient Therapy for First Responders
The Nation’s Leader in Virtual Mental Health & Dual Diagnosis Care
Why Intensive Outpatient?
Many first responders face cumulative stress, trauma, and dual diagnoses (mental health + substance use). But traditional in-person care isn’t always an option.
Telehealth Convenience:
Confidential & accessible from anywhere.
Expert Care:
Led by culturally competent clinicians & retired first responders who understand your challenges.
Specialized Small Groups:
Approx. 8 members per group, 10 hours per week, 12-week program.
Flexible Scheduling:
Day and evening group options with secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth to fit your life and career demands.

Step Up or Step Down with Ease
Whether you’re stepping down from inpatient care or stepping up from weekly therapy, our programs remove barriers. No insurance is required, and flexible payment options keep care accessible when you need it most.
Care That Meets You Where You Are
Our clinicians and retired first responders understand the challenges of transition, whether it’s moving back into daily life after inpatient or seeking more support than outpatient can provide. You’ll never walk that path alone.
