Addiction IOP

What is the Addiction Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

The Addiction IOP is a structured yet flexible treatment program designed for those struggling with substance use disorders. It offers a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy while allowing participants to live at home and continue their daily lives.

Unlike inpatient rehabilitation programs that require a stay in a treatment facility, IOP allows participants to receive structured care multiple times per week while maintaining work, school, and family commitments. This approach provides intensive support while fostering independence and accountability.

The program supports individuals recovering from addiction to substances such as:

• Alcohol
• Prescription medications
• Opioids
• Stimulants
• Other illicit substances

How does the program work?

The Addiction IOP follows a structured schedule that integrates therapy, education, and relapse prevention strategies to support long-term recovery.

Each session consists of a combination of:

• Individual therapy to address personal challenges and triggers
• Group therapy to build a support network and foster accountability
• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to develop coping strategies and emotional regulation skills
• Relapse prevention education to equip people with tools for long-term sobriety
• Life skills training to improve stress management, communication, and goal-setting

Participants typically attend sessions three to five times per week, with each session lasting a few hours. The length of the program varies based on individual needs, generally spanning six to eight weeks.

Who is a good candidate for the Addiction IOP?

The Addiction IOP is ideal for individuals who are ready to commit to their recovery but do not require 24/7 supervision. This program is particularly beneficial for those who:

• Are transitioning from inpatient rehab and need continued support
• Have experienced a relapse and require structured treatment
• Need intensive therapy while maintaining work or family responsibilities
• Want to build coping skills and a strong support system for sustained sobriety

Individuals experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms, requiring medical detox, or needing round-the-clock supervision may benefit more from an inpatient or residential program. The specialists will conduct a thorough assessment to determine the most appropriate level of care.
