Your journey to mental wellness starts here
Mental Health Flex-Intensive Outpatient Program
Living with a mental health condition can be an isolating and exhausting battle. The weight of depression, the constant hum of anxiety, or the complete depletion of burnout can make it feel impossible to move forward. At Brick House Recovery Centre, our Mental Health Flex-Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers shared programming with the H-IOP for mental health, but is delivered in a flexible format, up to three days a week to allow for healing, getting back to your life, into the workforce, and enjoying time with your friends and family.
This IOP is a safe harbour where you can lower your defences, learn effective coping strategies, and rediscover your strength. Your diagnosis does not define you, and our compassionate team is here to help you find balance and hope again.

Is this Mental Health IOP Right for Me?
The Brick House Recovery Centre’s Mental Health Flex-IOP involves structured treatment up to three days per week, with programming available between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Participants attend full days or partial days depending on their clinical plan. This level of intensity is an excellent fit if you:
- You’re on short or long-term disability due to mental health conditions. You’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed trying to get back to work.
- Need more structure than weekly outpatient therapy, but cannot attend five full days of treatment.
- Are working part-time, caregiving, or gradually returning to work, and need a schedule that fits your life.
- Are looking for intensive support that includes group therapy and individualized treatment, without the need for bed-based treatment.
