Following partial hospitalization, an intensive outpatient program (IOP) provides continuing care services for those in recovery from substance use disorders. As a form of outpatient treatment, IOP services offer extra support as guests work on their recovery goals both in and outside of a rehabilitation center.
Compared to programs that offer higher levels of care, an IOP program requires the least amount of attendance within a facility setting. For this reason, intensive outpatient benefits people who already have a strong foundation of healthy skills and routines in recovery. As you spend more time reintegrating back into daily life, IOP extends your access to clinical services and peer support to help you maintain long-term recovery during and after intensive outpatient.
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a form of addiction treatment that is an option for those who do not need residential treatment but may still need 24/7 care. IOP treatment helps individuals struggling with drug and alcohol use disorders to overcome their addiction. Each program meets the specific needs of each person. During an IOP, individuals receive regular treatments such as individual therapy, group therapy, medication management, and skills training that equip them to build more constructive behaviors and habits. For instance, group sessions emphasize job readiness, life skills, and relapse management training to help you maintain long-term recovery in intensive outpatient.
Additionally, IOPs also offer educational opportunities to learn about the causes and complications of substance use and abuse. Participants can expect to have an experienced clinical staff working with them through every step of their recovery journey, providing extensive support and guidance while they work toward sobriety and a healthier lifestyle.
IOP may be appropriate for people who have a foundation for recovery and are ready for a less restrictive setting than residential care, while still benefiting from consistent treatment and accountability.
A clinical assessment can help determine whether IOP is an appropriate fit.

Inpatient or residential treatment involves living at a treatment facility. IOP provides scheduled treatment sessions while participants spend more time in their home or community. The appropriate level of care depends on clinical needs
PHP generally provides a more intensive schedule. IOP is a less restrictive level of care that offers continuing treatment while allowing more time for everyday responsibilities. A clinical assessment can help determine the right fit.
Program length varies by provider and individual needs. South Coast’s page describes its Oklahoma City program as typically lasting about eight weeks, but schedules and treatment plans may vary. Contact admissions for current details.
IOP schedules can vary. South Coast describes IOP 5 and IOP 3 options in general terms, referring to five or three group sessions per week. Ask admissions which schedule is currently available and appropriate for you.
