The decision to seek treatment for addiction is a difficult one. But once you’ve made the decision to get help, it’s important to choose the right level of care for your needs. Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are one option that can provide the structure and support you need to recover from addiction.
IOPs are designed for people who are unable to commit to full-time inpatient treatment but who still need more support than what is available through traditional outpatient programs. IOPs typically meet 3-5 days per week for 3-4 hours per day. Treatment is typically provided through a combination of individual and group therapy, as well as educational classes.
