Adult Outpatient Programs at Fairfax
Adult outpatient programs from Fairfax Behavioral Health include a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) that can take place in the day or evening either in-person or virtually as a way to incorporate needed behavioral health treatment into your busy life.

Behavioral Health Care That Fits In Your Life
Our Day and Evening adult outpatient day programs are designed to help! Don’t deal with anxiety, depression, self-harm and/or thoughts of death, life transition, loss of pleasure, lack of support, grief, trauma, work struggles or social activities avoidance alone. These adult outpatient day programs are part of the continuum of care offered in the Seattle metropolitan area and can be used as an alternative to hospitalization. Adult outpatient services offer a more intensive care than a weekly office visit but don’t require an overnight stay or 24-hour care. Our adult outpatient programs include group therapy, individualized case management with a licensed clinician, structured family involvement, as well as a medication evaluation, and management by a board-certified psychiatrist.
Adult Outpatient Programs at Fairfax:
Adult Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) for Mental Health at Fairfax
Our Day Treatment, commonly known as PHP (Partial Hospitalization Program), is an alternative to hospitalization and does not require 24-hour overnight care. PHP is the common abbreviation for the Partial Hospitalization Program. If you or a loved one needs more intensive support and structure than what individual or weekly therapy can provide but does not need 24-hour, overnight monitoring or hospitalization, our Day Program may be the right fit. You’ll learn important skills that will help you reconnect with others, build self-confidence, and better manage life’s daily activities and schedules. We can also assist in finding an outpatient team for you to work with once you have completed our program to aid in your transition back to your life. Attendees are encouraged to participate in their healing process. Group therapy is facilitated by Licensed Therapists and Registered Nurses (RN). Day Program is five days a week, Monday through Friday for six hours a day and lunch is provided.
Our Day Program for Adults focuses on interpersonal relationship struggles, emotional regulation, life transitions, trauma, safety, and developing coping skills. Through evidenced-based treatment models in Attachment Theory, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, individuals increase their sense of calm and gain self-confidence in all areas of their lives. It is our goal to stay on top of the latest research and strive to offer a comprehensive curriculum for group therapy and we add new groups to keep the information we provide fresh. Here are examples of some of the groups we offer for the Adult Day Program:
- Process
- Didactic/Psychoeducation
- Meditation/self-soothing
- Coping Skills
- Sleep Hygiene and Nutrition
- Art/music therapy
The typical length of stay or course of treatment for the Adult Day Program is 4-6 weeks. Your treatment team will work with you to create an individualized treatment plan to outline your personal goals and progress.
Adult Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) for Mental Health at Fairfax
Our Intensive Outpatient Program, commonly known as IOP, is a step beyond weekly individual therapy. Our Intensive Outpatient Treatment Program is designed for individuals who are in need of a structured setting in which to work towards overcoming symptoms of mental health, behavioral health and/or substance abuse concerns.

Patients attend IOP three times a week for three hours each (total of nine hours a week) and it fits perfectly with an individual’s schedule. Through the evidenced-based treatment model, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), individuals will develop new skills to manage painful emotions and decrease conflict in relationships. We approach therapy in a group setting presented by licensed therapists. Individuals in the program have access to a medication evaluation and management by a board-certified psychiatrist.
Groups offered include:
- Mindfulness
- Interpersonal Effectiveness
- Distress Tolerance
- Emotion Regulation
The total length of stay for IOP is about 8 weeks. Your treatment team will work with you to create an individualized treatment plan to outline your personal goals and progress.
