Intensive Outpatient Program

IOP is more intensive than traditional outpatient and is designed to achieve short-term stabilization and resolution of immediate problem areas. The patient and family are offered services by a team of professionals. The patient is enrolled in a time-limited program with other patients working on similar issues. The treatment team may include licensed therapists, nurses, program specialists and a doctor.

This is an evening program (day-time treatment hours can also be arranged) running Monday - Thursday, 6:00 - 9:00 p.m. The program includes education, 12-step meetings, co-dependency groups and family education.
