Intensive Outpatient Programs for Substance Abuse Treatment


An Intensive Outpatient Program is a day or nighttime treatment program that employs an integrated and individualized schedule of recognized substance abuse and mental health treatment modalities.

An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed as an alternative to inpatient treatment or as an aftercare program, upon the successful completion of an inpatient program. An intensive outpatient program begins with a psychological evaluation, a psychosocial assessment, and other assessments used to identify individual needs.  The therapeutic approach includes an individual treatment plan specifically designed to address the issues each person brings to treatment.  Individual, group, and family therapy are the cornerstone of a comprehensive program.  Additional therapeutic services are offered including Trauma, Self-Harm, Eating Disorders, Marriage and Family, Adolescent Behavior, Mental Health and Depression Therapies, as well as other therapeutic approaches as needed. 

The goals of the Intensive Outpatient programs are to provide psychiatric and/or substance abuse treatment to individuals in a less restrictive setting than an inpatient unit. The benefits of this type of care include: lessening the disruption of social, family, and community ties; allowing the patient to test new skills in a more neutral environment than an inpatient hospital setting; providing treatment milieu that provides flexibility in the numbers of treatment days per week, thus allowing a patient to pursue other activities, such as shortening of the inpatient stay, or preventing the need for full hospitalization.

An effective Intensive Outpatient Program will provide a positive experience geared toward enhancing self-esteem and promoting effective patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving.
