Help Your Child Thrive with Aris Clinic’s Summer IOP

At Aris Clinic, we specialize in a supportive Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) designed to help kids ages 8–18 get back on track.

Our compassionate team provides a structured yet nurturing half-day, in-person morning program focused on therapy and medication management, with optional afternoon educational services. Through empowering social, psychoeducational, mindfulness, and coping skills, kids build the tools they need to thrive.

The program runs five days a week, is tailored to patient age and needs, and typically lasts 8-12 weeks.

Historically, 90% of our IOP participants discharge successfully in an average of eight weeks.
