An Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a structured and supportive treatment option for individuals who need a higher level of care than traditional outpatient therapy but do not require inpatient hospitalization. IOPs are designed to help individuals struggling with mental health disorders, substance use disorders, or both, while allowing them to maintain their daily responsibilities at work, school, or home.
Who is IOP For?
IOPs are ideal for individuals who:
- Are transitioning from inpatient or residential treatment and need continued support.
- Require more than weekly therapy but do not need 24/7 supervision.
- Are experiencing moderate mental health or substance use challenges that interfere with daily life.
- Want to build coping skills and receive group and individual therapy in a structured setting.
