Is our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) right for you or a loved one? 🧡

Our IOP in Sioux Falls, SD offers the structure, support, and care needed for those navigating mental health or substance use challenges.

It’s designed for:

✔️ Struggles with daily responsibilities at work, school, or home
✔️ Depression, anxiety, trauma, or cravings that impair life but don’t require hospitalization
✔️ Those needing more than outpatient therapy—group sessions, accountability, and coping skills
✔️ A step-down after inpatient or residential care
✔️ Individuals at risk of relapse who need consistent support

You don’t have to face this alone—healing is possible with the right care.

To begin your IOP journey with our Sioux Falls team, please visit: https://mwihealth.org/iop-substance-abuse/

Our Story

OUR VISION: Expand mental health services Be responsive to opportunities Build partnerships Improve psychiatric services in under-served areas

We bring expert psychiatric care to the underserved through a network of providers and telehealth. Widely respected as the regional leaders in mental health services, our qualified professionals provide care in economically and geographically underserved populations. We specialize in contracting with correctional facilities, hospitals and clinics in the region. By providing in-house support and telehealth services, we care for individuals who might otherwise go untreated. We are able to provide contracted psychiatric services to an expansive region because of our network of trusted mental health providers in South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa. We may be able to extend support to other states upon request, so contact us today if your facility or organization has unmet mental health needs. Kyle at mwihealthceo@gmail.com can assist your organization with evaluating your needs and offering solutions for provider care.
