What’s an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?

Intensive outpatient programs (IOPs) are treatment programs used to address addictions that do not require detoxification or round-the-clock supervision. They enable individuals to continue with their normal, day-to-day lives in a way that residential treatment programs do not.  

Intensive outpatient programs are sometimes used in conjunction with inpatient programs as a way of helping clients to transition back to their families and communities, help with relapse management, and provide coping strategies. 

For many people, the greatest barriers for entering into inpatient treatment is the inability to leave their family or other responsibilities for an extended period of time. For these individuals, intensive outpatient programs are often the best choice. They still get intensive treatment, but they are able to reside at home. 

How Does Group Therapy Help Clients?

Participation in group therapy offers clients support in a variety of ways.

• Enhance their communication skills.
• Form new social groups. This is especially important in addiction treatment, as individuals’ previous socialization is often with others who use drugs or alcohol. 
• Access to an environment where people in similar situations provide support, comfort, and honest feedback. 
• Reinforce healthy ways of interacting and provide a safe space that is vital to recovery efforts. 
• Group members who are farther along in their recovery often offer valuable assistance and empathy to those who are early in the recovery process. 
• A forum for therapists and group leaders to pass on important information, teach new skills, and guide clients. 
• A place to witness positive behaviors associated with recovery and to practice new modes of dealing with addiction.
