About Our Intensive Outpatient Program

Intensive Outpatient Programs bridge the gap between residential care and standard outpatient therapy. Patients attend therapy sessions several days per week, each lasting 3–4 hours, while continuing daily routines.

IOPs provide structured support, coping skills training, and group engagement to help patients manage mental health and substance use issues.
