Intensive Outpatient Program

More structure than weekly therapy, more freedom than residential

Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) offers focused, evidence-based support several times a week — so you can make real progress while still living at home and staying connected to your life.

What it is

A higher level of care that fits around your life

An Intensive Outpatient Program bridges the gap between weekly therapy and full-time treatment. You attend multiple structured sessions each week — typically a mix of individual and group work — while continuing to live at home and keep up with daily responsibilities.

IOP is built around an individualized treatment plan and evidence-based approaches. The added structure and frequency help create momentum during a difficult stretch, with family involvement encouraged where it supports your recovery.

It's a strong option when weekly sessions aren't quite enough, or as a step down from a higher level of care while you continue to stabilize and build skills.

Who it helps

IOP may be the right level of care if you're

IOP is designed for people who need more support than traditional outpatient therapy can provide, but who don't require around-the-clock care.

  • Needing more structure than weekly sessions
  • Stepping down from a higher level of care
  • Working through substance use or co-occurring concerns
  • Managing symptoms that feel hard to contain alone
  • Wanting both individual and group support
  • Building recovery skills while living at home
