Built for Real Life
Care that supports work, family, relationships, routines, recovery, and follow-through outside the clinical setting.

Levels of Care
Outpatient levels of care at Heights Behavioral Health.

Flexible outpatient programming with privacy, structure, and step-down planning.
Individualized Intensive Programming, IIP
IIP is HBH’s most customized outpatient behavioral health option for clients who need a highly individualized treatment plan rather than a standard track. It can support complex mental health concerns, trauma, substance use recovery, behavioral addictions, family-system needs, and high-accountability outpatient stabilization.
- Individualized outpatient treatment planning based on clinical assessment, safety, risk, and goals.
- Customized weekly schedule with therapy, care coordination, skills support, and psychiatry when appropriate.
- Designed for clients who need privacy, flexibility, clinical depth, and a real-life care plan.
- Helpful for complex co-occurring concerns, process addictions, trauma-related symptoms, or step-down planning.
- Built to support accountability, daily structure, family communication, and continuity across care.
Partial Hospitalization Program, PHP
PHP is the highest intensity outpatient level of care at HBH. It may be appropriate when a client needs significant daytime structure and clinical support but does not require inpatient hospitalization, residential treatment, or 24-hour monitoring.
- Structured daytime outpatient programming for stabilization and momentum.
- Clinical support for mental health symptoms, substance use concerns, trauma, and co-occurring needs.
- Group therapy, individual therapy, skills practice, relapse prevention, and care coordination.
- Appropriate for clients stepping down from residential treatment, inpatient care, or detox when clinically safe.
- Designed to help clients stabilize while staying connected to home, family, and real-life responsibilities.
Intensive Outpatient Program, IOP
IOP is structured outpatient treatment for clients who need more than weekly therapy but less than PHP. It supports ongoing recovery, symptom stabilization, relapse prevention, coping skills, accountability, and step-down care.
- Several clinical contacts per week based on need, schedule, and treatment goals.
- Support for mental health treatment, addiction treatment, trauma-informed care, and dual diagnosis needs.
- Skills groups, process groups, individualized planning, and accountability between sessions.
- Often appropriate after PHP, residential treatment, or a period of acute instability.
- Built for clients balancing treatment with work, school, family, or other responsibilities.
Evening IOP
Evening IOP gives adults access to intensive outpatient mental health and addiction treatment while maintaining daytime responsibilities. It is designed for clients who need structure, accountability, and clinical support without fully stepping away from work, school, or family life.
- Evening programming for adults who need flexibility and consistency.
- Support for anxiety, depression, trauma symptoms, substance use, relapse prevention, and behavioral addictions.
- Clinical groups focused on coping skills, emotional regulation, relationships, accountability, and follow-through.
- Appropriate for step-down care or for clients who need more than standard weekly therapy.
Psychiatry and Care Coordination
When clinically appropriate, HBH may coordinate psychiatric support, medication management referrals or oversight, provider communication, family involvement, and case coordination. The goal is continuity, safety, clarity, and an integrated treatment plan.
- Psychiatry when clinically indicated and appropriate.
- Communication with outside providers with proper consent.
- Care coordination for complex schedules, referrals, and step-down planning.
- Support for families and referring professionals seeking a clear outpatient plan.
Detox Coordination and Referral
If withdrawal risk, medical instability, suicidality, psychosis, or acute safety concerns are present, outpatient care may not be the safest first step. HBH helps families determine when detox, inpatient stabilization, residential treatment, or emergency care should be considered before outpatient programming.
- Safety-first recommendations based on clinical presentation.
- Coordination with appropriate detox or stabilization resources when needed.
- Transition planning back into outpatient care when clinically appropriate.
Conditions We Treat
Specialized outpatient care for complex, co-occurring needs.
HBH supports adults facing mental health conditions, substance use concerns, trauma, behavioral addictions, and overlapping concerns that do not fit neatly into one category.
Mental Health Treatment
Support for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, mood concerns, grief, emotional dysregulation, relational distress, family stress, and co-occurring needs. Treatment planning is individualized based on clinical assessment and level-of-care fit.
Alcohol and Substance Use Concerns
Structured outpatient treatment for alcohol or drug use concerns, relapse patterns, recovery stabilization, family accountability, sober support planning, and co-occurring mental health needs. If detox or higher-level care is needed, we help clarify the safest next step.
Process and Behavioral Addictions
Care for behavioral addiction and compulsive patterns, including gambling, sex and pornography concerns, technology use, relationship or attachment patterns, and other behaviors when clinically appropriate for outpatient care.
Trauma and Co-Occurring Needs
Many clients do not fit one neat category. Mental health, trauma, addiction, family dynamics, attachment patterns, and daily-life functioning often interact. We build treatment plans around the whole clinical picture.
Therapy Practices
Integrated modalities selected for the individual.
Your therapy plan is selected based on clinical assessment, goals, readiness, safety, and level of care. Modalities remain coordinated so treatment is consistent as care changes.
DBT & Skills-Based Therapy
Practical skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, relationships, and daily follow-through.
CBT & Solution-Focused Therapy
Structured support for thought patterns, behavior change, goals, and measurable next steps.
EMDR & Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-informed approaches selected based on readiness, stabilization, clinical review, and treatment fit.
Experiential & Adjunctive Support
Additional practices may be integrated when clinically appropriate and aligned with treatment goals.
How Admission Works
A clear path from first call to clinical recommendation.
We clarify what is happening, determine whether outpatient care is appropriate, and recommend a plan that balances clinical need, safety, privacy, schedule, and support.
Confidential Call
We listen, clarify concerns, review timing, and answer questions with discretion.
Assessment and Placement
Your care plan, schedule, and services are mapped into one coordinated outpatient approach.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who runs Heights Behavioral Health?
Heights Behavioral Health is led by Joni Ogle, LCSW, CSAT, whose 35+ years across clinical environments shaped the program’s central philosophy: treatment cannot be one-size-fits-all because people are not one-size-fits-all. Alongside Joni, Zoe Pulido brings a decade of clinical operations experience with a focus on ethics and compliance, helping ensure the HBH care model is not only warm and individualized, but also responsibly administered. Together, HBH leadership created an outpatient treatment environment where clinical sophistication, privacy, and real-world support can coexist.
What do we offer?
We offer structured outpatient care for adults who need more support than traditional weekly therapy. Our programs are designed to meet clients at different levels of need, from high clinical intensity care to flexible evening treatment options that support work, school, parenting, and daily responsibilities.
Partial Hospitalization Program, or PHP
PHP provides high clinical intensity support in a structured outpatient setting. This program is designed for adults who need a higher level of care without 24/7 inpatient or residential treatment. PHP may include an individualized treatment plan, group therapy, individual therapy, family or support involvement when appropriate, care coordination, relapse prevention, skills practice, and discharge or step-down planning.
Intensive Outpatient Program, or IOP
Our Intensive Outpatient Program is designed for adults who need more than weekly therapy or who are stepping down from PHP, residential, or inpatient care. IOP typically includes several sessions per week, skills groups, process groups, individual support, relapse prevention, accountability, family or support involvement when appropriate, and coordination with outside providers with consent.
Evening IOP
The Evening IOP gives adults access to intensive outpatient treatment while maintaining daytime responsibilities such as work, school, parenting, or caregiving. This program offers structured group-based care, individualized treatment plan integration, real-time skills practice between sessions, and ongoing accountability without requiring clients to step away from daily life completely.
Individualized Intensive Programming, or IIP
Our Individualized Intensive Programming is designed for adults whose needs do not fit neatly into a standard treatment track. After a clinical assessment, we create a customized plan that may include targeted individual sessions, group placement when appropriate, family or support work, care coordination, safety planning, and recommendations for stepping up or stepping down in care as needed.
Heights Behavioral Health is committed to providing the right level of structure, clinical support, and flexibility so each client can receive care that fits their needs, schedule, and long-term recovery goals.
