Outpatient Care

Willow Creek Behavioral Health offers outpatient care at our center in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

We provide outpatient care options, including Partial Hospitalization and Intensive Outpatient Programs, individuals facing various challenges, such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric disorders. Patients can enter the program directly from the initial point of assessment and referral or transfer from the inpatient setting. Our outpatient program is designed for individuals who could benefit from a structured program that promotes the development of coping skills.

we assist people experiencing:

Partial Hospitalization Program

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is designed for adults with primary psychiatric disorders who require intensive support and structure but not 24-hour inpatient care.

What is PHP?

The program provides support and treatment for adults facing emotional or mental difficulties, and who may have substance abuse problems. Partial hospitalization is an outpatient program for the diagnosis and/or active treatment of a serious mental disorder in a consistent, structured environment that allows patients to maintain their usual living arrangements with their families.

A PHP can function as a “step down” from hospitalization or a “step up” when outpatient treatment is not effectively meeting the patient’s needs. It is also a good transition from inpatient to outpatient care.

The level of care provided in a PHP is necessary to maintain the patient’s progress and prevent relapse or readmission to the hospital.

Who is PHP for?

PHP is designed for those who do not require the intensity of a hospital setting but are still having some emotional or behavioral issues that need to be addressed more intensely than what can be provided in a traditional outpatient setting.

What is the schedule of PHP?

Adults in this program meet from from 8:30am – 2:50pm Monday – Friday for an average of 3 weeks.

Is transportation provided?

We can help with transportation arrangements. Please let us know if you need assistance.

Intensive Outpatient Program

Sometimes called “Outpatient Day Treatment” or “Part-Time Treatment,” the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) provides a therapeutic, structured environment while allowing patients to maintain a work-life balance.

What is IOP?

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is also called Day Treatment. It provides further stabilization in a therapeutic environment for clients who do not require the structure of a full-day program like our PHP.

Who is IOP for?

IOP is for adults seeking seeking further stabilization in a therapeutic environment who do not require the structure of a full-day program like our PHP. While continuing to live at home, patients are able to gain extra support in their daily lives by working on their psychiatric and Substance Use Disorder concerns.

What is the schedule of IOP?

Adults in this program meet:

Daytime Program: Monday – Friday from 8:30 to 11:30 am.
Evening Program: Monday – Friday from 5:30 to 8:30 pm.

Patients attend IOP for 3 hours a day, giving them greater flexibility to manage other commitments with their families, work or other treatment professionals.

What are the highlights of IOP?

Group therapy settings
Continued clinical oversight
The patient lives at home and attends the outpatient center during the day
Further stabilization and transition back into productive activities at home, at work, and in the community
