Our clinical team integrates a range of therapeutic modalities in IOP, including:

Motivational Interviewing (MI)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)-informed interventions
Trauma-Informed Care
Relapse Prevention Therapy
Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT), when appropriate

You Have Questions. We Have Answers.

What is IOP, and how is it different from PHP?

IOP typically involves fewer weekly treatment hours than PHP, offering more flexibility for clients who need to maintain work, school, or family responsibilities while continuing structured, evidence-based treatment.

How many days a week is IOP?

Our IOP program runs multiple days a week with several hours of programming per session. Call our admissions team for the current schedule.

Do I need to complete PHP or residential treatment first?

Not necessarily. While many clients step down into IOP after PHP or residential care, others begin treatment directly in IOP depending on their clinical needs. Our team will help determine the right level of care for you.

Can I keep working or going to school during IOP?

Yes — IOP is specifically designed to allow clients to continue work, school, or family responsibilities while receiving treatment.
