Diane Ricci, Program Director, talks about Valley Health’s new intensive outpatient behavioral health program for adults ages 18 and up.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a step down for those who no longer require the intensity of inpatient hospitalization or for individuals who require a higher level of care than traditional outpatient services provide. At Valley Health, IOP is a step up from traditional outpatient services. It is a three-hour program available Monday through Friday that offers additional support and structure for at-risk individuals.
Ingram Haley and Carmen Leschuk, both VP’s of Business Development, are representing Diamond at the Post Acute 360 Strategy and Solutions Conference at the Gaylord National Resort in Maryland on June 25 - 27, 2018.
The demand for behavioral health services across the country is strong, and the business climate is primed for investment. Increased awareness of the need for mental health and addiction treatment facilities, coupled with improved reimbursement for such services, present an attractive investment opportunity with the right management partner.
