Intensive outpatient addiction treatment is a level of care that falls between traditional outpatient treatment and residential inpatient treatment. It is designed for individuals who require a structured and intensive treatment program for their substance use disorder but do not need 24/7 healthcare supervision or a residential setting.
IOP typically involves a combination of individual therapy, group therapy, educational sessions, and other therapeutic activities that focus on addressing the underlying causes of addiction, developing coping skills, and preventing relapse.
Treatment sessions are usually held several times a week for a few hours each session, allowing participants to continue with their daily responsibilities such as work, school, or family commitments.
The goal of IOP is to provide a supportive environment where individuals can work on their recovery while still living in their own homes. It allows for more flexibility and autonomy compared to inpatient treatment, while still providing a high level of support and structure.
