Intensive Outpatient Treatment (also known as IOP for “Intensive Outpatient Program”) is a primary treatment program recommended in some circumstances by a clinical and medical assessment. IOP may be recommended for those who do not need a medically supervised detox. IOP can also enable people in recovery to continue their recovery therapies following successful detox, on a part time yet intensive schedule, designed to accommodate work and family life.
An Intensive Outpatient Program is appropriate for those who wish to continue to live at home, yet participate in treatment for their issues with substance abuse. Intensive Outpatient Treatment programs help to establish a foundation for long-term recovery support within the local community right from the start of treatment, rather than waiting until the patient returns from living away in a rehab center.
