Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)
Life can feel unbearable at times. Often, challenges like addiction may result from this. Thankfully, Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOPs) are a comprehensive source of guidance in addiction recovery and mental health care.
Whether it’s addiction or dual diagnosis, an IOP can be invaluable. Treatment typically involves compassionate support and extensive recovery techniques while allowing at-home stays.
What Is an Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)?
IOPs provide a combination of therapeutic activities for several hours per week. While hospital stays aren’t always needed, IOPs include more care than traditional outpatient therapy. Because of this, IOPs are typically better for individuals who have successfully undergone inpatient care or have less severe cases. A standout here is that this program allows individuals to maintain their daily routines and responsibilities.
Understanding IOP's Components
IOPs typically involve a set schedule of therapy sessions, educational workshops, and supportive activities. These help individuals develop coping mechanisms, improve health, and aid long-term recovery. Usually in-person, IOPs adopt a classroom setting that promotes a strong sense of trust between client and therapist. Individuals travel to a center for therapy sessions and group activities.
These can vary depending on the level of care. For instance, day treatments will have set daytime sessions for those with nighttime family commitments. IOPs provide social interaction and allow therapists to leverage nonverbal cues. This means those in an IOP program can enjoy time at home and the freedom to continue their daily responsibilities while receiving intensive professional support.
Experienced Team of Therapists
Our team of highly trained and dedicated therapists runs a comprehensive IOP. Because they understand the unique challenges of substance abuse, you can trust your healing is multi-layered and provided in a supportive atmosphere.
With compassionate guidance in our IOP program for mental health and addiction, we aim to help:

Social anxiety disorder (SAD)
Evidence-Based Treatment Approaches
We incorporate proven treatment approaches, ensuring the best techniques are utilized in our care options. To ensure effective, high-quality care, our IOP program requires us to stay updated on new scientifically backed treatments.
Some examples include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). These help assess underlying negative thought patterns and work toward healthier coping mechanisms. We also use clinical approaches like internal family systems (IFS), sensorimotor psychotherapy, and family class. These techniques help address the root of trauma and rebuild relationships affected by addiction and psychological struggles.
Our IOP Treatment Approach
At Breathe, we focus on various therapies to target all the areas affected by addiction. We hope to empower you to feel and think differently. This means recovery is inclusive of body, mind, and soul. You can master how to regulate intense emotions, regain confidence, and develop a stronger competence for living.
IOP Program Structure
As a starting point, we focus on ample, consistent care to help build healthy practices into an individual’s routine. Because addiction can affect various areas of your life, plan structures can differ. Here are some common practices we use:
One-On-One Therapy Sessions: A major step here is identifying the triggers and causes of an individual’s addiction or mental health struggles.
Group Therapy Sessions: Group therapy sessions are usually less frequent than private sessions each week.
Holistic Educational Workshops: This involves mapping out continued recovery and aftercare techniques. These include learning healthy lifestyle choices, communication skills, and stress management.
