Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Intensive Outpatient Treatment

The IOP service was designed to help maintain sobriety and stability in early recovery. It is a structured and organized service with a wide range of treatment modalities and group topics. Those who demonstrate higher levels of stability with respect to abstaining from mood-altering substances are eligible for IOP. The program is focused on helping participants identify problems, maintain sobriety, and develop healthier patterns of behavior.

Benefits of IOP
The IOP is designed for individuals who are interested in abstinence, but whose drinking or drug use behavior may not meet criteria for an residential level of care. IOP is ideal for someone who wants to:
• Achieve abstinence
• Foster changes in behavior that supports a recovery lifestyle
• Facilitate active participation in community-based support groups
• Identify and address a range of psychosocial problems (including employment, adherence to probation, housing, financial planning, relationships)
• Develop a positive supportive recovery network
• Improve problem-solving skills and coping strategies in staying abstinent.

Unlike Residential Treatment, IOP allows you to live at home, work, and engage in your community while building recovery skills.
