The Australian was banned and fined for behaviour, including "lack of best efforts", at the Shanghai Masters.
The ATP confirmed the 21-year-old had "taken up the care plan on offer" but details are "strictly confidential".
If he completes the plan, Kyrgios can play from 7 November rather than the initial ban expiration date of 15 January 2017.
Kyrgios came under scrutiny after his 6-3 6-1 defeat by Mischa Zverev of Germany, in which he returned serves tamely and received a code violation for verbally abusing a spectator.
Tennis Australia has said it is "our responsibility" to help Kyrgios.
Last year, he was fined $1,500 (£1,230) for a foul-mouthed outburst while playing in Shanghai, China.
That came two months after he was given a suspended 28-day ban for making a sexual comment about Switzerland's Stan Wawrinka's girlfriend during a match.
Earlier this year, his attitude was questioned after he lost convincingly to British world number two Andy Murray in the fourth round at Wimbledon.
World number 13 Nick Kyrgios could have his eight-week tournament ban cut to three after agreeing to a "care plan".
