Intensive outpatient program (IOP) is often the
best option for those who have a severe
addiction. This is a commonly used method to
treat substance abuse and mental health disorders
on a part-time basis. IOPs are designed to
deliver inpatient intensity and focus, while
still letting client maintain their life in an
outpatient setting.

The fact that substance abuse recovery appears to
be daunting for many in the early stages is
indisputable. This makes it very important to
choose the right treatment plan to ensure
patients have the best tools at their disposal to
help them along the road to sobriety. Plenty of
options exist, with one of the key program
options available being Intensive Outpatient
Program, New York City, which is recommended only
after a full medical assessment and clinical
evaluation is done.

On the contrary, an intensive outpatient program
is recommended for those who may not need a true
medical detox program, but need a high level of
support, and program participants continue to
reside in their private residences. IOPs allow
patients to maintain much of their normal routine
during the later stages of their recovery while
providing them with the continued support they
need.
5
One of the major reasons behind the popularity of
IOPs is it removes some of the fear from
addiction treatment, including costs or just
peoples hesitation to consider programs that
have a residential component because they dont
feel they can simply walk away from home.

Treatment in IOP
For substance abuse, IOP involves many types of
services, including medication management,
individual therapy, group therapy, family
therapy, addiction support groups, and addiction
aftercare plans.

IOP is recommended for those who have a strong
network at home to support their efforts,
individuals with a lower risk level of relapsing,
those who have a stable home life, individuals
who have no issues with opening up in front of a
group of people, and individuals who are no
longer using drugs.

IOPs include at least nine hours of services each
week through at least three sessions, with each
session lasting three hours. General topics that
are covered in most IOPs include relapse
prevention, health and wellness, role of
spirituality in recovery, coping skills for
managing triggers and cravings, co-occurring
mental health concerns, and goal setting.
