21.3 Development of a Comprehensive DBT Intensive Outpatient Program: Lessons Learned and Critical Considerations

DBT is the well-established treatment for self-harming adolescents at high risk for suicide; however, currently, there are no empirically supported higher levels of care (HLOC) for adolescents who may require more intensive intervention. Presenters will: 1) review the development of an adherent DBT program within an intensive outpatient program (IOP) setting; 2) discuss challenges in implementation; and 3) review the lessons learned and critical considerations for adaptation of comprehensive DBT to an HLOC.
