JumpSTART Intensive Outpatient Program
The JumpSTART Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers a jumpstart into treatment by providing the tools you need now to make positive changes in your life.
Designed to help adults learn to cope with behavioral health issues, JumpSTART IOP provides extensive education and practice with fundamental Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concepts and tools.
JumpSTART IOP is meant to be just that – a JumpSTART into treatment!
The generalist education provided to clients through JumpSTART IOP has been uniquely informed by the specialty expertise of SLBMI clinicians.
JumpSTART IOP is a two-week program that meets virtually Monday through Friday, from 3 p.m. to 5 p.m..
To get started, call our intake team at 314-289-9411 and ask about JumpSTART. We will schedule an initial evaluation to learn about you and determine if the program fits your needs. If not, we will recommend alternative care.
