Individualized Intensive Outpatient Program (IIOP vs. IOP) Treatment Team and Services

Our outpatient rehab team consists of exceptionally qualified (mostly doctoral level) clinicians who have worked together for many years. Our treatment team works with each client to devise an individualized treatment plan that fits the client’s needs and schedule.

IIOP (Individual Intensive Outpatient Program) This innovative option for outpatient offers individuals the intensity of residential addiction treatment and the freedom of outpatient rehab. Clients typically have 3 to 15 individual sessions per week with different therapists. Our treatment team collaborates three times per week to coordinate your care. Having a treatment team facilitates rapid identification of issues and creates a synergistic treatment effect. A daily IIOP schedule achieves the therapeutic intensity of rehab without the residential component.

In contrast to a traditional IOP, our IIOP is fully flexible and customizable based on your scheduling and financial needs.  Groups are free and totally optional as part of our IIOP.  If budgeting is a concern, an IIOP can be setup that costs as little as $200/month and includes mostly groups and SMART Recovery meetings.
