What IOP is, and what it is not

An intensive outpatient program, or IOP, means several hours of therapy a day, a few days a week, while you live at home. Many people step down to it after residential care or PHP. Others start here when their use is less severe and home is safe.

IOP is not a weekly check-in. It should have a written plan, group and individual therapy, and a way to involve family. If the program can’t say what happens when someone relapses, keep looking.

In short

You live at home.

Several sessions a week.

It should be a real plan.
