Intensive Outpatient

We offer specialized Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) for adolescents and adults who are able to live at home and desire continued substance use treatment and/or psychological treatment to live full and independent lives. Our Intensive Outpatient Programs meet three times a week for six weeks and consist of group therapy sessions led by an expert, licensed clinician. We also partner with you and your outpatient treatment team to provide individualized treatment and aftercare plans.
