Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

Structured, evidence-based addiction treatment that fits around your life. Our IOP provides the clinical support you need while allowing you to live at home and maintain your daily responsibilities.

What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An IOP is a level of addiction treatment that provides structured therapy sessions multiple times per week without requiring overnight stays. It is clinically appropriate for people who have stable living situations and can function in daily life but need more support than traditional weekly therapy.

IOP is commonly used as a step-down from residential or partial hospitalization programs, or as an entry point for individuals who do not require 24-hour supervision but need intensive clinical care.
