Adult Substance Use Intensive Outpatient Program
Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) enables you to continue your recovery therapies on a part-time, intensive schedule designed to accommodate your work, school and family life. We utilize evidenced based curriculum and weekly drug testing.
Some of the main benefits of intensive outpatient programs include:
Flexible scheduling: This allows the patient to maintain their everyday responsibilities, such as maintaining a job and/or going to school.
Higher retention rates: IOPs are more rigorous than lower-intensity, “regular” outpatient treatment programs.
Stay near family and friends: Isolation is a threat to recovery. If you have a strong support network of family or friends who want to see you get sober, IOP may be perfect for you.
More private: The lack of confidentiality, or the need to explain a prolonged absence, is what deters many from seeking addiction treatment. You can feel less exposed if you don’t have to live at a residential treatment facility.
Keep up with work and/or school: Taking months off from your job or school just isn’t feasible for many people in recovery. IOP gives you the chance to maintain your school or work schedule, although you’ll likely still need to take some time off during the most intense periods of withdrawal.
Is IOP Treatment Right for Me?
You may wonder if IOP is right for you, or if you’d be better suited to a more structured environment you’d encounter in an inpatient setting. While many patients come from an inpatient setting and transition to IOP, many transition straight from detox/partial hospitalization to IOP therapy. Ideal candidates are focused on getting well, and have a safe, supportive environment.
