Intensive Outpatient Program

For some folks, an intensive outpatient program is just what they need in order to gain the skills and healing that can lead to lasting change in their lives. The intensive outpatient program (IOP) at Skywood Outpatient offers an intensive treatment program for individuals struggling with substance use, mental health disorders, or co-occurring disorders.

What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An intensive outpatient program offers a structured treatment program with set schedules for therapy and support groups but allows individuals to return home at the end of each day rather than residing at a treatment facility.

Aspects of an IOP may include:

Individual therapy sessions with a therapist or counselor
Group therapy sessions with peers in recovery
Family therapy sessions to address and heal family dynamics
Access to support groups such as 12-step programs
Recreational and holistic therapies such as art therapy, yoga, meditation, etc.

An IOP differs from traditional outpatient treatment in that it is typically more intensive and structured, with a set schedule of therapy sessions throughout the week. It can be an effective step-down from residential or inpatient treatment or for those who are not able to take time away from work or other commitments for full-time treatment.

Why Choose an Intensive Outpatient Program?

An intensive outpatient program can be a great option for individuals who are not in need of 24-hour care but may benefit from more intensive treatment than traditional individual therapy alone. IOPs can also be a step down from residential treatment for those looking to transition back into daily life while still receiving support and structure in their recovery journey.

Some benefits of an IOP for individuals in recovery may include the following:

Flexibility to maintain work or school schedules while also receiving treatment
Opportunities for family involvement and healing
Access to a supportive community of peers in recovery
A comprehensive approach to treating substance use and co-occurring disorders through individual, group, and family therapy
