Virtual Intensive Outpatient Program

At Thrive Medical, we understand that not everyone can attend in-person treatment. Busy schedules, distance, and personal responsibilities shouldn’t prevent you from getting the health services you deserve. Our virtual care services bring professional healthcare professionals directly to you, ensuring recovery remains within reach. You can easily talk or speak with your care team in real-time, making communication seamless and effective.

What Is a Virtual Outpatient Program?

A Virtual Outpatient Program is a structured, remote treatment option that provides the same evidence-based support offered in our clinic — only online. It’s ideal if you need rapid access, medication initiation/adjustments, or short-term counselling, and do not require inpatient care.

How Virtual Program Works

Our virtual program is designed to make treatment accessible and flexible, no matter where you are. With secure online sessions, you can connect with our care team from the comfort of home, ensuring support that fits your lifestyle and schedule.

You’ll connect with a healthcare professional to assess your needs and create a personalized treatment plan.

Scheduled virtual visits provide brief counselling, recovery skills, and relapse-prevention support.

Physicians and nurse practitioners can prescribe and monitor medication, provide sick notes or doctor’s notes, and order lab work or blood tests as needed, all through secure online appointments.

Regular follow-ups keep you accountable and allow timely adjustments; referrals are coordinated as needed.

 When ready, we connect you to community programs (including IOP, groups, and family supports) for longer-term care.
