Understanding IOP

Intensive outpatient treatment bridges the gap between standard outpatient therapy and more intensive levels of care. At 9-20 hours per week, IOP provides structured therapeutic programming while preserving patients' ability to work, attend school, and maintain family responsibilities.

Who Benefits From IOP?

IOP serves patients with moderate substance use disorders and stable living situations, those stepping down from inpatient or PHP, and individuals who need more support than weekly therapy but can function safely in their daily environment. Evening and weekend IOP options make this level of care accessible to working adults.
