Levels of Care

PHP serves to prevent hospitalization, as well as provides a solid bridge for those stepping down from a hospitalization or a residential treatment program. Our PHP meets in person five days a week for six hours per day, and includes individual, family, and group therapy, as well as nutrition counseling, meal support, and medical and psychiatric services. We also offer a separate PHP for adolescents, ages 12-18.

IOP is designed to help individuals who are experiencing an increase in distressing symptoms and behaviors or are struggling to progress in traditional outpatient services. IOP treatment includes individual, family, and group therapy, as well as nutrition counseling and meal support to foster meaningful improvement and crate a solid foundation for clients before transitioning to traditional outpatient. Our IOP meets in-person three to five days a week for three hours a day.

V-IOP is a convenient, effective, and COVID-safe treatment option that fosters meaningful improvement and provides a solid foundation for clients transitioning back to traditional outpatient treatment. Like our onsite IOP, our V-IOP offers individual, family, and group therapy, as well as nutrition counseling and meal support. Our V-IOP is offered Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm EST. Learn more here.

Our Program

At Aster Springs Outpatient – Columbus, we provide customized care that’s designed to meet each client’s specific needs and unique goals. We understand that people are not their diagnosis; they’re a combination of all that’s happened in their lives and their future journeys. Because of this, our treatment team partners with clients and their families to design treatment plans that provide a successful pathway to recovery. Treatment can include psychotherapy groups, individual and family therapy, nutrition education, meal planning and support, and aftercare planning and assistance.

In a supportive and healing environment, we take a whole-person, trauma-informed approach to treatment using evidence-based modalities that facilitate progress from clinical care towards independent self-care. Our evidence-based therapies include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), exposure and response prevention (ERP), co-occurring CARE track, experiential and expressive therapies, and emotion-focused family therapy (EFFT). Aster Springs House Outpatient – Columbus is an LGBTQ+ affirming environment and is inclusive of all religious preferences.

Experienced clinicians provide multidisciplinary treatment utilizing medical, nutritional, psychological, and psychiatric interventions. Our treatment philosophy values collaboration with the community, including regular education and coordination with outpatient providers, family members, and other members of each client’s support system. The two-way communication with each client’s community ensures clients receive seamless continuity of care as they transition into and out of our program.

Adolescent-Specific Programming

At Aster Springs Outpatient – Columbus, our adolescent PHP and adolescent IOP truly meet each teen (and their family) where they are based on their specific treatment needs. Treatment includes psychoeducation as well as a unique art therapy program. A major focus of programming is the role of social media and how it affects body image and development. We also provide specialized family-based therapy (FBT), which is an evidence-based treatment that educates parents on how they can support their teens throughout treatment and beyond.
