Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) takes a comprehensive approach, addressing multiple factors at once to support participants in achieving sobriety and improving daily life. The program blends group, individual, and family therapy with case management, and integrates proven tools like the Wellness Recovery Action Plan (WRAP), Collaborative Network Approach (CNA), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and more. IOP is offered at least 3 hours per day, totaling a minimum of 9 hours each week.
