 Our ASAM 2.1 Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed for individuals who need structured support for substance use recovery but do not require 24-hour residential care. This program offers a balance of treatment and flexibility, allowing clients to continue working, attending school, or caring for their families while receiving the help they need.

                                             Program highlights:

• 9 hours per week of structured treatment
   
• Services provided 3 days a week, about 3 hours per session
   
• Combination of group therapy, individual counseling, family support, relapse prevention, and life skills training
   
• Focused on reducing substance use, strengthening coping skills, and building a supportive recovery network

                              To qualify for this level of care, individuals must:

• Have a diagnosed substance use disorder (alcohol or drugs)
   
• Require more treatment than standard outpatient counseling but do not need residential or inpatient care
   
• Be able to participate safely in an outpatient setting
   
• Show a need for structured therapy to address relapse risk, cravings, coping skills, and life management
   
• Demonstrate willingness to engage in treatment and work toward recovery goals
