IOP groups meet three (3) hours per day, three (3) days per week, and follow a structured curriculum. Clients also participate in individual counseling sessions.
The benefits of an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) program include:
● Clients may maintain their daily activities and responsibilities, such as attending work, being with their families, and enjoying the comfort of their own home
● Increased opportunities to establish community-based supports
● IOP offer clients the ability to practice the coping skills learned in a safe, real-world environment
● Clients enrolled in IOP may have a lower potential for relapse than those who choose to abstain from treatment programs. Due to increased support from staff and clients going through similar experiences, clients are less likely to start using again
