Who Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is for
People stepping down from PHP, or those with mild to moderate substance use or mental health conditions who need more than weekly therapy but do not require daily programming.
What to expect
Three to five group sessions per week, weekly individual therapy, psychiatric care as needed, family involvement, and structured relapse prevention. Every client receives a psychiatric evaluation and a written treatment plan within the first days of care, and that plan is reviewed weekly with you.
How IOP fits the continuum of care
Courage Recovery Network is one of the few programs that offers every level of care under one clinical team. That matters because the transitions between levels are where most people fall out of treatment. After IOP, most clients step down to outpatient treatment with the same therapists, the same psychiatrist, and the same case manager.
Dual diagnosis at the IOP level
Mental health conditions do not pause while you get sober. At the IOP level, our psychiatrists and therapists actively treat depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, personality disorders, and schizoaffective disorder alongside substance use. Learn more about our dual diagnosis program.
