Florida IOP by Video: Karuna's Intensive Outpatient Program for Adults, Statewide

Karuna Behavioral Health runs a ten-week intensive outpatient program (IOP), open to any adult 18 or older, that can be completed entirely by secure video from anywhere in Florida. The clinicians, the groups and the individual therapy all run from our office, so an adult in Pensacola, Ocala, Naples or Spring Hill joins the identical program rather than a lighter online version of it.

You can attend fully by telehealth, mix video days with in-person days, or switch between the two as your weeks change. Below you will find how joining from a distance works, who the video program reaches, what a hybrid schedule looks like, and how to take the first step. For a closer look at how the ten weeks are organized, our program overview walks through a typical week.

Any adult 18 or older who is physically in Florida during group hours can join Karuna's ten-week program by video. Location inside the state does not change the care: a participant logging in from Tallahassee or Fort Myers sits in the same encrypted group room as someone dialing in from a few miles away, led by the same clinicians and held to the same standards as our office in Tampa, which is licensed by Florida AHCA as a Health Care Clinic (#14736) and accredited by The Joint Commission.

The one geographic rule is legal rather than practical. Our clinicians practice under Florida licensure, so you need to be in Florida while you attend; if you expect to spend time out of state, raise it on the first call and the team will talk through what that means for your schedule. Adults who live close to the office still choose video for convenience, and two local guides show how that looks nearby: video care for Westchase neighbors and telehealth for adults near Wesley Chapel.

The whole IOP can be completed by video alone, or you can combine video days with days in the office. Some participants start online and add in-person days later; others do the reverse when work travel picks up. Whichever mix you choose, the weekly commitment is the same:

• Three days of group therapy per week
• one individual therapy session per week

Groups meet Monday, Wednesday and Thursday; mornings run 9:00am to 12:00pm and evenings 6:00pm to 9:00pm. Holiday weeks shift to Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday so nobody attends on the holiday itself. Video and in-person attendees share one group, capped at 16 people in total and usually closer to 12 to 14, so nobody on screen is a spectator. Households just north of the office can see how the evening hours fit a commute in the Lutz video care guide, and the platform, privacy setup and room preparation are explained in our overview of online therapy at Karuna.

Prefer to be in the room every time? The same ten weeks run in person at 10840 Sheldon Rd Suite B, and the in-person intensive outpatient program at our Tampa office describes the evening team and what a day in the office looks like.

Pasco and Hernando counties are two places the video program was built to serve. Both cover a lot of ground, and for many adults there, reaching our office in person means a long drive south on every group day. Attending by video removes that drive while keeping the full schedule, the same clinicians and the same group.

Adults in New Port Richey, Dade City, Brooksville or Spring Hill can attend every group from home, or come to the office on the days that suit them. County-level detail lives in two guides: outpatient options across Pasco County, and, for Hernando County, the program for adults near Spring Hill.

Starting takes one call, and the steps are identical from Key West to Jacksonville:

• Call or send the form, tell us what is going on, and confirm you will be in Florida while you attend
• Coverage check — many Florida plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield and Curative in-network benefits, extend to virtual behavioral health
• Assessment with a clinician, by video, to shape your plan and choose the morning or evening track
• First group, which can happen the same day as the call and the assessment when you are ready to begin

Nobody expects you to have it all worked out before calling, and there is no fixed start date, because the group is open and new members join in any week. Across the bay, adults can also read about care options for Pinellas County residents.

Google Reviews From People Who Have Attended

The reviews below come from Karuna's Google Business Profile, which showed 4.9 stars across 38 reviews as of September 2, 2026. They are written in each reviewer's own words, and reading a few before you call is a good way to decide what you want to ask on the first conversation, whether that is about the group, the clinicians or how video attendance worked for someone else.

The Office Behind the Statewide Program

Every video group is run from the clinic at 10840 Sheldon Rd Suite B, a staffed and licensed office where hybrid participants attend their in-person days. If you are passing through and want to meet the team face to face, call ahead and we will set a time. Adults on the east side of the county can start from video care near Temple Terrace instead.
