Four Levels of Care, Built Around Clinical Need
Mental health treatment is not all-or-nothing. Hooked on Hope provides a continuum of outpatient care for adults who need more than weekly therapy but do not require an overnight hospital stay.
Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP)
The most structured outpatient level of care, meeting Monday through Friday for adults who need daily support without an overnight stay.
Learn more →Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Multi-day treatment that offers more support than weekly therapy while allowing clients to keep work, school, or family responsibilities.
Learn more →Virtual IOP
Secure telehealth programming for Georgia adults who need structured support from home, including evening flexibility when available.
Learn more →Outpatient Program
Step-down or entry-level therapy and clinical guidance for adults who need ongoing support with moderate symptoms.
Learn more →How We Determine Your Level of Care
When you call Hooked on Hope, admissions begins with a clinical intake that looks at symptoms, daily functioning, psychiatric history, safety, medication needs, work or school responsibilities, and treatment goals.
We do not push clients into more intensive care than they need, and we do not under-treat. The goal is the least restrictive, clinically appropriate level of care.
What Intake Reviews
- Current symptoms and severity
- Ability to work, sleep, maintain relationships, and complete daily responsibilities
- Past therapy, hospitalizations, and medication history
- Safety concerns, self-harm risk, or need for crisis care
- Insurance coverage and schedule needs
PHP vs. IOP vs. Virtual IOP vs. Outpatient
Each level serves a different clinical purpose. Clients may begin directly in one level or move up or down as symptoms change.
| Level | Best For | Typical Schedule | Clinical Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| PHP | Adults needing daily structure or step-down support after a higher level of care. | Monday-Friday, about 5-6 hours daily. | Stabilization and intensive skill-building without overnight hospitalization. |
| IOP | Adults who need more than weekly therapy while maintaining life responsibilities. | 3-5 days weekly, about 3 hours per session. | Structured therapy, relapse prevention, psychiatric support, and step-down planning. |
| Virtual IOP | Georgia adults who need structured care from home or evening flexibility. | Telehealth sessions several days weekly. | Access to IOP-level support when commute or scheduling creates barriers. |
| Outpatient | Adults stepping down from IOP or beginning with moderate symptoms. | Usually 1-3 sessions weekly. | Ongoing therapy, maintenance, and continued clinical guidance. |

We Accept Most Major Commercial Insurance Plans
Our admissions team can verify benefits before treatment begins so families understand coverage, deductibles, copays, prior authorization, and estimated out-of-pocket costs.
One Clinical Team Across Every Level of Care
Clients can move between PHP, IOP, Virtual IOP, and outpatient care without starting over with a new team. That continuity supports trust, clinical clarity, and better step-down planning.
Why This Matters
When care is coordinated by one team, clients do not have to retell their story at every step. Nursing, psychiatry, therapy, admissions, and client support can work together around level of care, medication needs, safety planning, and step-down goals.
