What is IOP?
The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is an abstinence-based type of substance use treatment program in which clients are engaged in small groups that provide support, empathy, understanding and education throughout the recovery process. The group is facilitated by licensed professionals with experience in treating substance use disorder. The facilitator provides the group with knowledge, support, and supervision. Participants receive counseling support throughout the program, addressing substance use and mental health barriers.
Groups are facilitated Monday – Thursday 9AM – 12:15PM, offering 2 sessions a day. All participants receive weekly individual substance use counseling where they set treatment plans with their counselor. We also offer less intensive substance use treatment through Outpatient Program options.
