What is an Intensive Outpatient Program?
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is a flexible yet comprehensive form of outpatient rehab designed for people who need consistent support without the intensity of a full-day or residential program. IOPs help participants create healthy coping strategies, strengthen recovery skills, and address the emotional and behavioral aspects of substance use disorders through structured therapy sessions several days per week.
IOPs often benefit people who:
- Have completed a higher level of care, such as inpatient or partial hospitalization (PHP), and are transitioning to greater independence.
- Have a stable, supportive home environment that promotes sobriety.
- Need structured treatment but must balance work, school, or family commitments.
- Require continued professional support to manage stress, triggers, or mental health concerns.
For many, IOP represents an important step in maintaining progress and developing the skills to thrive beyond treatment. It allows for recovery at your own pace, supported by professionals who understand your journey and goals.
What to Expect During Your IOP
Our IOP in Columbus offers a balanced approach that blends evidence-based therapies with compassionate, individualized care. The program includes several hours of therapy on scheduled days each week, giving you access to diverse treatment methods while maintaining schedule flexibility.
During IOP, you may participate in:
- Individual therapy
- Group therapy
- Family therapy
- Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)
- Dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT)
- Relapse prevention
- Holistic therapies
Our multidisciplinary team works closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that supports short-term recovery, long-term wellness, and lasting sobriety.
Dual Diagnosis Support in IOP
Addiction often coexists with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Co-occurring disorders can intensify substance use and make recovery more complex if not addressed together. That’s why our IOP in Columbus offers dual diagnosis treatment, designed to provide comprehensive support for both addiction and mental health challenges.
Through this integrated approach, we address both issues simultaneously, helping you understand how one condition affects the other and developing strategies to manage both effectively. Our team works collaboratively, so your treatment plan promotes stability, emotional health, and sustained sobriety.
We Accept Most Major insurances
