What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An intensive outpatient program is crucial for patients who complete inpatient drug rehab or partial hospitalization programming with an addiction treatment center. Patients at this level of care balance structured accountability and increased freedom to work, volunteer, and time with their sober support networks.

Individuals stay at home or in sober living residences in an IOP. They leave the property and engage in their daily lives independently while still respecting a curfew and structured scheduling. This level of care is not appropriate for individuals who are still experiencing post-acute withdrawal symptoms and need medical detox. While in a drug and alcohol treatment program, individuals develop sober support networks, begin seeking employment, or fulfill education commitments.

What to Expect During Intensive Outpatient Treatment

IOPs are an essential aspect of care for people seeking help overcoming addiction. Addiction is a complicated and often misunderstood disorder. Quality intensive outpatient treatment requires a comprehensive and compassionate team-based approach. Each person’s length of stay is individualized to best suit their specific needs and their one-of-a-kind treatment plan. People often have family or work commitments that prevent them from entering full-time care. They can’t leave their lives behind for an extended period of time. For these people, IOPs are often the best choice. They still get intensive treatment, but they can reside at home.
