Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

A Flexible Framework for Daily Recovery

Intensive outpatient care allows clients to engage in treatment 3–5 days a week while living at home or in a sober living environment. Sessions typically range from 9 to 15 hours per week, depending on clinical needs, and include both group and individual therapies.

Treatment plans are developed by our multidisciplinary team and regularly adjusted to reflect progress, goals, and emerging challenges. This dynamic approach ensures that care evolves alongside the individual.

Therapeutic Foundations of the Program:

• Group Therapy: Engaging group sessions help build meaningful connections and offer guidance through shared learning and personal discovery.
• Individual Therapy: One-on-one sessions with licensed clinicians explore trauma, patterns, and goals.
• Family Involvement: Family therapy and support groups help repair relationships and reinforce recovery at home.
• Life Skills and Wellness: Clients participate in mindfulness practices, nutrition education, relapse prevention planning, and vocational development.
• Medical Oversight (if needed): Continued psychiatric support and medication management for those with co-occurring conditions.

Where IOP Fits in the Recovery Journey

IOP is an essential part of the full continuum of care. Clients often enter this level of care after completing medical detox, residential treatment, or a partial hospitalization program (PHP). It serves as a vital step down that sustains progress and prevents relapse.

For some, IOP is a first entry point, especially for those with mild to moderate substance use issues or stable living environments. When appropriate, clients may transition into standard outpatient care or alumni support programs later.

Our clinical team collaborates with each client to ensure appropriate placement, continuity, and long-term recovery planning.

Expert Care Grounded in Evidence and Empathy

Legacy Healing Center’s IOP is grounded in the highest standards of clinical excellence and compassion. We adhere to national benchmarks such as those outlined by the American Society of Addiction Medicine (ASAM) and incorporate diverse, evidence-based modalities.
